摘要：The present article studies the nature and junction of the concept of «honour» in the district of the audiencia of Quito during the 18th century. It analizes a broad selection of documents, for the most part of judicial origin. Honour is presented basically as a concept of social distinction and exclusion, employed by the higher strata of the different local societies. The honour discourse reflects social identities which go beyond purely economic features and shows in this way caracteristics which are typical for societies of the Old Regime.
