VILARINO, Martín R. Updating alliances at the feet of the Cordillera de los Andes: the 1816 parlamento of Pehuenches and patriots. Mem. am. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, pp.74-91. ISSN 1851-3751.

The article analyzes the parlamento (diplomatic ritual) held by Pehuenche factions and José de San Martín in the fort of San Carlos -currently province of Mendoza- in 1816. Our analysis intends to move away from classic interpretations of the event that focused mainly on the patriots' perspective, and instead seeks to understand its scope and repercussions on indigenous groups. In order to do so, we consider it necessary to contextualize this parlamento within the frontier dynamics that took place in Cuyo during the late colonial period and the early 19th century. During this period, socio-political relationships were built and events occurred on the Cuyo border that help us understand the origins and characteristics of the 1816 parliament.
