摘要
This article shows the changes of the clergy*s intervention in the political process during the first half of the nineteenth century, a time of increasing political participation in the R赤o de la Plata. This article considers the following questions: the characteristics of the management of the local ecclesiastical institutions, the role performed by the clergy as mediators, and the impact that the rearrangement of relations between civil and ecclesiastical authorities had on the role of the clergy as mediators in this period of rising provincial states. We are particularly interested in the social intervention of the rural clergy in the diocese of Buenos Aires and Cordoba by tracking changes and continuities, as well as similarities and specificities. One of the most visible of the aforementioned transformations was the new role of the clergy as propagandist of the federal or centralist political experiences. El art赤culo busca mostrar los cambios en los modos de intervenci車n del clero en el contexto del proceso de politizaci車n abierto en la regi車n en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Para su estudio se consideran algunas v赤as clave: las caracter赤sticas de la gesti車n de las instituciones eclesi芍sticas locales y el papel de mediaci車n del clero en un escenario de recomposici車n de v赤nculos entre los poderes civiles y eclesi芍sticos y de construcci車n de los Estados provinciales. Nos interesa especialmente observar los cambios y continuidades, as赤 como las similitudes y especificidades, en estos modos de intervenci車n social del clero rural de las di車cesis de Buenos Aires y C車rdoba, destacando las transformaciones en la reelaboraci車n de su papel de intermediaci車n como propagandistas de las diversas experiencias pol赤ticas.
