LUPIANEZ, Gabriela P.. Peoples in revolution. Tucumán and the domestic government struggle about the city business in 1812. Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.2, pp.21-49.  Epub Nov 14, 2022. ISSN 2314-1549.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.44.027.

This article investigates the role of urban republics as important political agents in the territorial reconfiguration of power and the construction of a supralocal order. Based on the analysis of the case of San Miguel de Tucumán in the Intendence of Salta del Tucumán, it focus in the effective and daily exercise of domestic government through the process of representation and the exercise of the petition at the supralocal level. Studying the conflict between family networks and the struggle to increase their share of power manifested in obtaining new positions and in the expression of alternative relationships -with varying degrees. of interconnection - with the provisional government based in Buenos Aires, it concludes that they were not monolothics. Thus, it analyzes the relationships and interactions between various local agents, trying to understand the meaning of their sayings and behaviors in context. It pays attention to the particular situation of 1812 in which sovereignty went from being provisionally deposited to requiring a decision regarding its ownership. Sources used are published and unpublished documentary, preserved at the Archivo General de la Nación (Argentina) and the Academia Nacional de la Historia (Argentina) and had not been previously analyzed.

Keywords : self-government; peoples; representation, petitions, families.
