Using research materials from diverse documentary sources located at the National Archives in Mexico, this work recuperates and explaines the official colonial novohispanic function of classifying and characterizing expressions of discontentment within colonial order. This article examines the names by which colonial authorities differenciated and specified diverse forms of social unrest and revolt. One of the conclusions of this article is the invitation to examine the possible relationship between the modernizing Bourbonic reforms and the outburst of processes of unrest and resistance.
