At la punta de San Luis:

a space of exclusion between the River Plate and Chile (1750-1819)

Abstract

The proposal originates from the particular condition that prevailed in various border towns, cities or towns throughout the revolutionary process.  Most of them were very distant from the decision-making centers or the armed conflict. Therefore, they operated as milestones in an itinerary which had to be followed not only by those confined for political reasons, but also by the royalist prisoners of the wars of independence in their defeat of internment. Considered in this sense as spaces of exclusion, the analysis focuses on the city of San Luis de Loyola and explores the way in which the arrival of these men influenced the political development of the local political community and its relationship with the center of the revolutionary power. Understanding that the structure of a space of this nature is inextricably linked to the social practice of men and the relationships they determine with each other and with their environment, the different circumstances that led to its use as a space of exclusion are reviewed. This space was crossed by the participation of multiple actors who, through their alliances or conflicts, connected the jurisdiction to more complex processes. Further research needs to be carried out on the articulation of such processes.
