| description | Based on the study of extra-judicial accusations made from Lima, Puebla, Loja and Potosí against the excesses of the viceroys, their servants, and other authorities; as well as of legal and political treaties, this article studies the concept of corruption in the kingdoms of the Indies, and contributes to the understanding of the significance and characteristics of corruption in the Hispanic world in the 17th century. As a result, it is revealed that the individuals and the institutions of the cities of the Indies were key to the expansion and refinement of the concept of corruption which, at the same time, led to a change in the political practice and culture, at the local-American level and that of the crown. This was reflected in the change in the legislation of the Indies to support local groups, sanction those who did not serve well, and regulate the power and performance of the main representatives of the crown. Likewise, the discourse of corruption generated in America included the reflection on how the kingdom of the indies was supposed to work in economic terms and to propose reforms in order to control it. |

A partir del estudio de denuncias extrajudiciales formuladas desde Lima, Puebla, Loja y Potosí contra los excesos de los virreyes, sus criados, y otras autoridades; y de tratados jurídico-políticos, este artículo estudia la redefinición de la idea de corrupción en los reinos de indias, y contribuye al entendimiento del significado y características de la corrupción en el mundo hispánico del siglo XVII. Al hacerlo, revela que los individuos e instituciones de ciudades indianas fueron clave en la expansión y refinamiento del concepto “corrupción” lo que, a su vez, llevó a un cambio en la práctica y cultura políticas a nivel local-americano y de la corona. Esto se materializó en el cambio de la legislación indiana para respaldar a los grupos locales, sancionar a quien sirvió mal, y regular las potestades y desempeño de los principales representantes de la corona en Indias. Tan importante como eso, el discurso de corrupción generado en América incluyó la reflexión de cómo debía funcionar económicamente un reino indiano y a proponer reformas para controlarlo. Ce texte étudie la redéfinition de l’idée de corruption dansles royaumes hispano-américains et se veut une contribution à la compréhension de sa signification et des traits qui lui étaient associés au XVIIIe siècle dans le monde hispanique. Pour ce faire, il exploite, premièrement, les dénonciations extrajudiciaires faites depuis Lima, Puebla, Loja et Potosi des excès des vice-rois, leurs valets et d’autres autorités, puis, des traités juridico-politiques. Nous montrerons que les individus et les institutions des villes hispano-américaines ont été essentiels dans la diffusion et le raffinement du concept de «corruption», ce qui a entrainé un changement dans la pratique et la culture politiques au niveau local et à la cour espagnole. Ceci s’est traduit dans des changements dans la législation propre à l’Amérique espagnole afin de soutenir les groupes locaux, punir ceux qui s’étaient éconduits et régler les pouvoirs et les prestations des principaux représentants de la Couronne en Amérique espagnole. Le discours à propos de la corruption surgi dans le Nouveau Monde a suscité également une réflexion sur le fonctionnement économique des royaumes hispano-américains et favorisé des reformes pour assurer leur contrôle.
