Abstract
El artículo reconstruye el ciclo político iniciado en Montevideo con las invasiones inglesas
al Río de la Plata en 1806 y que cierra con la caída del gobierno español en 1814. Propone un
análisis sobre las modalidades y espacios de participación política popular, al tiempo que se interroga
por la composición de estas clases y su vínculo con las identidades políticas gestadas en el periodo.
Por otra parte, propone una reflexión sobre las maneras en que fueron recuperadas por la
historiografía uruguaya estas tradiciones de acción colectiva, desde mediados de siglo XIX. En tal
sentido se advierte una doble exclusión de estos grupos por parte de la historiografía. Por un lado, su
carácter plebeyo los hizo invisibles para una tradición académica que utilizó predominantemente
fuentes elitistas. Por otro lado, el hecho de que estas clases hayan adherido a posiciones leales las
dejó fuera de las memorias dominantes de la nación.
The article rebuilds the political cycle that began in Montevideo with the English invasions of the Río de la Plata in 1806 and ended with the fall of the Spanish government in 1814. It offers an analysis of the modalities and spaces of popular political participation, while questioning the composition of these classes and their link with the political identities that were born in that period. At the same time, it proposes a thought on the ways in which these traditions of collective action were recovered by Uruguayan historiography, since the mid-nineteenth century. In this regard, there is a double exclusion of these groups by historiography. On one hand, their plebeian nature made them invisible to an academic tradition that used predominantly elitist sources. On the other hand, the fact that these classes have adhered to loyal positions left them out of the dominant memories of the nation.
