ABSTRACT
The study of management and use of Jesuit temporalities seized in 1767 in different regions of Spanish America has emphasized the decisive weight of local networks in defining access to managing posts and property of these goods. From this perspective, the transference of the order's lands that were confiscated by the Council of Buenos Aires has deserved a minor historiographical interest. The work focus on the analysis of the operations of transferring usufruct and property of the Areco and Las Vacas farms in late eighteenth century. The objective is to identify the diverse social actors that took part in such operations, and to deepen the analysis of the management methods of the Buenos Aires' Juntas, at a moment when political-institutional changes were taking place in the Spanish monarchy simultaneously with a regional process of agrarian expansion, and revaluation of productive resources.
