In this work we analyze the expulsion process in its different phases, interpreting from an anthropological viewpoint- the indigenous attitude towards the change of government. We suggest the Indians perceived this change as a continuity of their reciprocal and ritual practices of their own life style. Through several ceremonial scenes the actors gave new meaning to the Spanish-Indian relations and at the same time differences between civilian and religious power arose. The new relations had the spatial effect of making the King´s charismnatic figure central.  En 1767 el rey Carlos III decretó la expulsión de los jesuitas de todos los dominios de España. Esta medida tuvo particular impacto en el Río de la Plata y el Paraguay, donde la Compañía de Jesús había desarrollado una influyente corriente evangelizadora, formando un sistema de 30 pueblos guaraníes conocido como "Provincia Jesuítica del Paraguay". En este trabajo analizamos el proceso de expulsión de los pueblos en sus diferentes fases interpretando, desde un punto de vista antropológico, la actitud indígena ante el cambio de gobierno. Sugerimos que este cambio fue concebido en la experiencia indígena como continuidad de la prácticas reciprocitarias y la ritualidad propia de su estilos de vida. Mediante diversas puestas en escena ceremoniales los actores resignificaban el vínculo hispano-indígena al tiempo que se instituían la diferencia entre el poder civil y el poder eclesiástico. Estas nuevas relaciones tenían un correlato espacial en el que se construía la figura carismática del Rey como "centro".  application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/11733 10.34096/mace.v8i0.11733 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
