Nuevos ciudadanos: entre el Imperio español y la República Colombiana.

Resum

Resorting to the category of the citizen offers as a hermeneutic element of analysis, in this article I approach the relationship and meanings that vicinity and the citizenship received in the normative context of the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th paying particular attention to the ways in which Neogranadinos were integrated within the handcrafted sectors. I emphasize, likewise, some significant elements in the ways that they as collectives of craftspeople had asserted their civil participation depending on their inclusion or exclusion in the political body of the Nation.
