Abstract

This paper recovers the experiences regarding to the land ownership belonging to the former Company of Jesus, in a context of consolidation of a new political order in the rural areas of Buenos Aires (Argentina). We deal with the case of La Chacarita, “lands that belonged to the jesuits” and which after the 1810’s revolution, are then managed by the independent state. We analyzed the arguments employed by the settlers at the moment of leased lots sales during the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1836-1839) and then, when property rights needed to be revalidated before a new legal and institutional order in 1858. The case study aims to discuss the practices and concepts of rights associated with the legal access to the usufruct and ownership of the Jesuit Temporal’s land under political and institutional transformations in the 1830s and 1850s.

Keywords: Temporalidades, State, Leasing, Legal property, Rights.
