For this matter, we identify three historical periods in which we find different dominant conceptions about the indigenous people in general and the Comechingon in particular: the Spanish Conquest, when this ethnonym was imposed as a way of homogenizing the various peoples that inhabited the region; the 19th century, when the new nation-state ruling elite sought the invisibilization of all traces of indigenous people; finally, during the 20th century, when both anthropology and historiography brought back the culture and history of the pre-Hispanic indigenous people but, once again, denied their present and their future. En un contexto actual en el que se están desarrollando procesos de reemergencia indígena en la provincia de Córdoba, este trabajo se propone indagar en las representaciones hegemónicas acerca de los comechingones en un registro de muy larga duración. En ese sentido, se identifican tres períodos o momentos históricos en los que se desplegaron diversas concepciones dominantes acerca de lo indígena -y específicamente lo comechingón-: la época de la conquista, en la que se impuso el rótulo étnico como una forma de homogeneizar a los diversos pueblos que habitaban en la región; el siglo XIX, momento en elque se buscó invisibilizar todo rastro de lo indígena en la nueva nación que se estaba gestando; y finalmente el siglo XX, cuando desde la antropología clásica y la historiografía se recuperó el pasado de los pueblos prehispánicos pero negando nuevamente su presente y su futuro.
