| description | This text analyzes the conflict that played out in Guatemala City over the governor’s decision to favor his intimates with licenses to trade with neutral countries during the years 1797 and 1799. This crisis is used to reconstruct the networks of two interest groups that struggled for power in the capital. Even though both factions were headed by merchants and their principal objective was profit, their members were situated in the primary institutions of the royal and local governments and they pursued ambitious political projects. This text shows how networks established around a merchant who had received permits to carry out trade with neutral countries were fundamentally structured around family relations in which women built solid connections with men through ties of kinship and ethnicity. These traditional connections were supplemented by modern ties of business, friendship and, especially, the common creed of liberal values. In the case in question, traditional relationships became adverse due to a family conflict, which was taken advantage of by the antagonistic group. |

El autor analiza el conflicto que se desencadenó en la ciudad de Guatemala a raíz de que el gobernador favoreció a sus allegados con licencias para comerciar con países neutrales durante los años de 1797 y 1799. Se vale de esta crisis para reconstruir las redes de dos grupos de interés que lucharon por el control del poder en la capitanía. Aun cuando ambas facciones estaban encabezadas por mercaderes y su principal objetivo era la obtención de rendimientos, sus miembros se hallaban colocados en las principales instituciones de los gobiernos real y local, y perseguían proyectos políticos más ambiciosos. El artículo muestra cómo la red establecida en torno del mercader que fue beneficiado con los permisos para el comercio neutral se estructuraba fundamentalmente a partir de relaciones familiares, en las que las mujeres enlazaban a los hombres mediante sólidos vínculos de parentesco y paisanaje. A estos vínculos tradicionales se sumaban los lazos modernos de tipo horizontal, los negocios, la amistad y, en especial, el credo común en valores liberales. En el caso analizado, las formas de relación tradicional se volvieron adversas al presentarse un conflicto familiar que fue aprovechado por el grupo antagonista.
