A Companion to Early Modern Lima introduces readers to the Spanish American city which became a vibrant urban center in the sixteenth-century world. As part of Brill's Companions to the Americas series, this volume presents current interdisciplinary research focused on the Peruvian viceregal capital. From ancient roots to its foundation by Pizarro, Lima was transformed into an imperial capital positioned between Atlantic and Pacific exchange networks. An international team of scholars examines issues ranging from literary history, politics, and religion to philosophy, historiography, and modes of intercontinental influence. The volume is divided into three sections: urban development and government, society, and culture. The essays collectively represent the scope of contemporary approaches, methodologies, and source materials pertinent to the study of sixteenth-century Lima, a city at the center of global interchange in the early modern world.

La profusion de travaux sur les Morisques, derniers descendants des musulmans espagnols convertis au catholicisme au XVIe siècle, avant et après leur expulsion d'Espagne entre 1609 et 1614, peut donner l’impression que pratiquement tous les aspects de l’histoire de cette minorité ont été abordés par l’historiographie, mais, comme le montre ce volume, il reste encore des champs à explorer, à revoir, à réinterpréter avec de nouvelles méthodes, de nouveaux postulats, en collaboration avec d’autres champs disciplinaires. La multiplication des études sur les Morisques ainsi que les thématiques développées autour de la question (assimilation, confessionnalisation de l’Esp...
Devout laywomen raise a number of provocative questions about gender and religion in the early modern world. How did some groups or individuals evade the Tridentine legislation that required third order women to take solemn vows and observe active and passive enclosure? How did their attempts to exercise a female apostolate (albeit with varying degrees of success and assertiveness) destabilize hierarchies of class and gender? To the extent that their beliefs and practices diverged from approved doctrine and rituals, what insights can they provide into the tensions between official religion and lay religiosity? Addressing these and many other questions, Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World reflects new directions in gender history, offering a more nuanced approach to the paradigm of woman as the prototypical "disciplined" subject of church-state power.
En la década de los noventa, el estudio de la historia del hecho religioso en Colombia comenzó a explorar escenarios diferentes al catolicismo debido a varios factores. El primero afectó a todas las ciencias sociales en Occidente: la crisis de los grandes paradigmas ejemplificados en el final del socialismo real, la disolución de la URSS y la caída del Muro de Berlín. El segundo, vinculado con el anterior, fue la crisis del discurso excesivamente racionalista e ilustrado que pronosticaba, desde la década de los sesenta, la debacle de la religión. Por el contrario, lo que se vivió fue el reverdecimiento de las creencias, entre ellas las religiosas. El tercero tiene que ver con la exp...
