Luján’s payment, its basket, jurisdiction and governance is at the heart of this work. It is suggested that, during the 18th century, the ‘campaign’ and the ‘border’ are an area in which rural and urban areas are diluted in the act of subjects, militia individuals, labrors, chacareros, hacked (rural neighbours), who not only recognise the Hispano-criolla presence (in a territory that is disputed with one ‘other’, the ‘indigenous’) but also, in essence, some of them exercise specific practices of local government in the virreinal system. The headquarter of Luján is the institution that is analysed from the outset, as is the development of payment and the operation of the represent Capitulares, proposing that, beyond the alleged territorial jurisdiction assigned from the centre of Buenos Aires, the Luján City Council represents or exercises the governance of the Burmese border.
