Resumen
Esta investigación se propone analizar la estratificación social en Santafé, Nuevo Reino de Granada, a partir de la categorización “racial” de los sujetos a finales del período Colonial (1750-1810). Para tal fin presenta un análisis de diversas causas judiciales y registros parroquiales y censales en los cuales la categorización racial de los individuos tiene una incidencia particular, buscando encontrar las perspectivas particulares y concretas de los actores involucrados. El análisis aquí presentado muestra tanto las dificultades que enfrentaron los individuos por cuenta de su “calidad”, como los caminos que algunos de ellos pudieron tomar para ascender socialmente, aprovechando la ambigüedad de la categorización.
Abstract. This research is intended to analyze the social stratification in Santafé, Nuevo Reino de Granada, on the basis of subject´s racial categorization at the end of the colonial period (1750-1810). In that sense, it offers an analysis of different lawsuits and Parrish and Census registers in which individual´s racial categorizations are particularly nominated, also trying to find out concrete and particular viewpoints from the involved subjects. This analysis shows as much the obstacles that this individuals had to confront because of their “Calidad”, as the many ways that some of them figured out for social climbing, thus taking an advantage from this categorization´s ambiguity.
