Abstract

BIXIO, Beatriz  and  BERBERIAN, Eduardo E. First Expeditions towards the Tucumán: reconaissance, space value and native populations. Andes [online]. 2007, n.18, pp.101-127. ISSN 1668-8090.

This work analyses the first reconaissance expeditions of what will later become Tucuman's government. It is important to know the type of information introduced by Francisco César's "entries" (1528) and by the entries of Diego de Rojas's men about this vast region (1543-46). The following is specially studied: what has been considered "noticeable" (that is, worthy of being noted) in relation to space; the senses the region acquire since those expeditions; the keys from which knowledge is shaped and, in relation to this, the practices later made possible by this new knowledge when the transformation from place into space takes place(De Certeau, 1996). The work intends to show that these first space representations of Tucuman's territory allowed the layout of an imaginary map, whose milestones correspond to the native populations. These representations traced a kind of spatial outline in which there are roads, distance and ethnic nomenclatures, an imprecise information which, however, will permit their later occupation, organization, exploitation and definite appropriation. Then these "entries" conform the first way of occupation of Tucuman's space, an occupation that provides knowledge.
