México, Imperio y Estado. Consideraciones sobre tres conceptos significantes del virreinato
Many historians have argued that, when analyzing the viceregal period, it is anachronic or teleological to use “Mexico” to refer to the territory, “Mexican” for the people, “state” to refer to the governance of people and territories and “empire” as a term for a vast conglomerate of territories.

| description | Many historians have argued that, when analyzing the viceregal period, it is anachronic or teleological to use “Mexico” to refer to the territory, “Mexican” for the people, “state” to refer to the governance of people and territories and “empire” as a term for a vast conglomerate of territories. Nevertheless, this article argues that these concepts increasingly appeared with these meanings in legal sources, official correspondence and the writings of the clergy, both in Latin as well as in Spanish, and so these expressions can be used by historians as analytical terms. Furthermore, “empire” and “state” underwent semantic changes in this period in response to the expansion of state power, while “Kingdom of Mexico” or “Mexican Viceroy” took on a broader territorial meaning than they had at the beginning of the colonial era. |

Varios historiadores califican como anacrónico o teleológico utilizar “México” en el sentido del territorio y “mexicano/a” para su gente, “estado” al referirse al gobierno sobre personas y territorios e “imperio” como término para un vasto conglomerado de territorios al analizar la época del virreinato. Argumento aquí, no obstante, que los conceptos aparecían cada vez más con estos sentidos en las fuentes jurídicas, la correspondencia oficial y los escritos de clérigos tanto en latín como en español. Por esta razón, considero que las expresiones también pueden utilizarse como términos analíticos de las y los historiadores. Además, los cambios semánticos de “imperio” y “estado” se produjeron en este periodo en respuesta a la expansión del poder estatal, mientras que “reino de México” o “virrey mexicano” adquirieron un significado territorial más amplio de lo que tenían al principio de la época colonial.
