Popis: The written record that we present constitutes an extract from the expedient elaborated during the juicio de residencia impeached to the governor of Tucumán Juan Victorino Martínez de Tineo in 1763- 1764, preserved at the Archivo Histórico Nacional, in Madrid. This article contextualizes and accompanies its reading, and proposes an ethnographic approach based on the concept of ritual. For that, upon the transcribed document, we describe the typical celebration of a residencia and the way in which this royal proceeding has been studied. Considering this, we are particularly interested in presenting and pondering about the advantages and other dimensions that may be discovered through the analysis of residencia in terms of a ritual that constitutes a way of exercising power and contributes to the construction of colonial order. Here, the transcribed document constitutes a case to study and set an example of a different way to examine a given document.
