          Abstract

          Resumen: El artículo se pregunta por los usos de la justicia eclesiástica por parte de las mujeres esclavizadas de origen africano, tomando el caso de la Audiencia episcopal de Santiago entre los siglos XVII y XVIII. A través de una metodología de investigación cualitativa, se realiza primero un análisis general de los doce pleitos vinculados con este tipo de mujeres, que hoy conserva el Archivo Histórico del Arzobispado de Santiago. Luego se examinan en detalle los litigios eclesiásticos de Juana Antonia, Teresa y María Josefa, con el fin de describir trayectorias vitales de distintas mujeres y contrastar sus prácticas de resistencia en el marco de una petición judicial. Este ejercicio comparativo permite visibilizar, por un lado, historias en que estas mujeres lograron articular estrategias de resistencia judicial para enfrentar los discursos de poder u obtener su libertad y, por otro, historias donde aquella resistencia quedó sumida entre conflictos sucesorios, ocultaciones y actos de despojo protagonizados por amos y amas. En definitiva, los datos suministrados demuestran los matices de la resistencia en América Hispana y la necesidad apremiante de realizar estudios de casos que puedan enriquecer la interpretación de esta práctica.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract: The article asks about the uses of ecclesiastical justice by enslaved women of African origin, taking the case of the episcopal court of Santiago between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through a qualitative research methodology, first a general analysis is made of the twelve lawsuits related to this type of women, which are preserved today in the Historical Archive of the Archbishopric of Santiago. Then, the ecclesiastical lawsuits of Juana Antonia, Teresa and María Josefa are examined in detail, to describe the life trajectories of different women and to contrast their practices of resistance in the context of a legal petition. This comparative exercise makes it possible to visualize, on the one hand, stories in which these women were able to articulate strategies of judicial resistance to confront the discourses of power or obtain their freedom and, on the other hand, stories in which that resistance was submerged between inheritance conflicts, concealment and acts of dispossession carried out by masters and mistresses. In short, the data provided demonstrate the tones of resistance in Hispanic America and the pressing need for case studies that can enrich the interpretation of this practice.
