This thesis investigates how the peasants of Ayacucho participated in the process of formation of the Peruvian Republican State. To do this, it locates and determines the manifestations of the State´s presence in the region and then analyzes the perceptions and responses that this presence generated among the peasants of the 19th century. To achieve these objectives, this thesis analyzes the following variables: the regional context of the 19th century, which caused the restructuring of private property; the conflictive social relations between landowners and peasants and the relationship between the peasantry and the State. Based on the information from the documents of the state officials and judicial records that containing the testimony of the peasants, this thesis proposes that the circumstances of demographic growth and market expansion caused the appearance of many haciendas and conflicts between landowners and peasants. To overcome these conflicts, the peasants were related to the discursive form of the State and elaborated a memory consisting of the symbolic manipulation of the remote pre-Hispanic past which, having a connection with colonial laws legitimized their right to own land. They constructed with this memory cultural arguments to respond to the discursive form of State.
