This article intents to reconstruct the winding historical paths and debates that led to the CONUG sanction, the subsequent proposals, the attempts to extend and update the Convention and the interrelation between social and legal sciences to understand the concept and its current scope. These issues are taken up in a set of reflections about the Conquest of the Desert process (1879-1885) and the criticisms of its characterization as genocide. This paper particularly analyzes the tendency towards denial; that is, approaches taking into consideration aspects of genocide such as: anachronism, denial of indigenous agency, non-academic activism, and the Conquest of the Desert understood as a war. El crimen que Raphael Lemkin definió como genocidio en 1944 es de larga data. Su inclusión como delito del derecho internacional fue producto de arduas discusiones e intensas acciones de militancia, inescindibles del contexto político en el que se produjeron. Este artículo intenta reponer los sinuosos caminos históricos y sus debates hasta la sanción de la CONUG, los planteos posteriores, los intentos de ampliación y actualización de la Convención y la interrelación entre ciencias sociales y jurídicas en la comprensión del concepto y sus alcances actualmente. Por último, estas cuestiones se retoman en un conjunto de reflexiones referidas al proceso denominado Conquista del Desierto (1879-1885) y las críticas a su caracterización como genocidio. Entre ellas se analizan los deslizamientos hacia el negacionismo; es decir, ciertos enfoques sobre supuestos aspectos del genocidio como: anacronismo, negación de la agencia indígena, característica militante no académica y la Conquista del Desierto como guerra. O crime que Raphael Lemkin definiu como genocídio em 1944 remonta a muito tempo. Sua inclusão como crime no direito internacional foi produto de árduas discussões e intensas ações militantes, inseparáveis do contexto político em que ocorreu. Este artigo busca retraçar os tortuosos caminhos e debates históricos que levaram à promulgação da CONUG, às propostas subsequentes, às tentativas de expansão e atualização da Convenção e à inter-relação entre as ciências sociais e jurídicas na compreensão do conceito e seu escopo atual. Por fim, essas questões são abordadas em um conjunto de reflexões sobre o processo conhecido como Conquista do Deserto (1879-1885) e as críticas à sua caracterização como genocídio. Essas reflexões analisam as mudanças em direção ao negacionismo; isto é, certas abordagens a supostos aspectos do genocídio, como: anacronismo, negação da agência indígena, características militantes não acadêmicas e a Conquista do Deserto como uma guerra. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/7159 10.34096/mace.v27i2.7363 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
