Jurisdictional Battlefields
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. This book examines three expeditions by the Spanish to the borders of Charcas, a district that covers present-day Bolivia and the northwest of Argentina, in the second half of the sixteenth century, using an approach that has not been attempted until now. Scholarship on these events has framed them as part of a gradual top-down process of centralisation driven by the Crown to extend its power and build a colonial ‘state’ in the Americas. This book challenges that view, approaching the expeditions through an analysis of the ...
Marxist Historiographies
Marxist Historiographies is the first book to examine the ebb and flow of Marxist historiography from a global and cross-cultural perspective. Since the eighteenth century, few schools of historical thought have exerted a more lasting impact than Marxism, and this impact extends far beyond the Western world within which it is most commonly analysed. Edited by two highly respected authors in the field, this book deals with the effect of Marxism on historical writings not only in parts of Europe, where it originated, but also in countries and regions in Africa, Asia, North and South America and the Middle East. Rather than presenting the chapters geographically, it is structured with respect t...
Historical Dictionary of the Catalans
In this reference, Buffery and Marcer cover all of the areas historically inhabited by the Catalan people. These are, in order of size and population: Catalonia, which accounts for over half of the population of the Catalan-speaking areas; Valencia, with over a third; the Balearic Islands with just under 8 percent; and the Catalunya Nord, the Principality of Andorra, and the Catalan-speaking areas within Aragon, Murcia, and Alghero. The Historical Dictionary of the Catalans deals not only with the people who live in Catalonia, but with the language and culture of the Catalan countries as well. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics.
Knowledge of the Pragmatici
Knowledge of the pragmatici sheds new light on pragmatic normative literature (mainly from the religious sphere), a genre crucial for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. Long underrated by legal historical scholarship, these media – manuals for confessors, catechisms, and moral theological literature – selected and localised normative knowledge for the colonial worlds and thus shaped the language of normativity. The eleven chapters of this book explore the circulation and the uses of pragmatic normative texts in the Iberian peninsula, in New Spain, Peru, New Granada and Brazil. The book reveals the functions and intellectual achievements of pragmatic literature, which condensed normative knowledge, drawing on medieval scholarly practices of ‘epitomisation’, and links the genre with early modern legal culture. Contributors are: Manuela Bragagnolo, Agustín Casagrande, Otto Danwerth, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Renzo Honores, Gustavo César Machado Cabral, Pilar Mejía, Christoph H. F. Meyer, Osvaldo Moutin, and David Rex Galindo.
Justicia para los vasallos de su majestad.
Para la monarquía hispánica gobernar era hacer justicia. Bajo este fundamento, la corona de Castilla construyó todo un complejo aparato de tribunales en sus dominios americanos. Esta obra analiza una parte de ese gobierno por medio de la administración de justicia de la villa de San Gil en el siglo XVIII. Desde una perspectiva histórica-jurídica, fundamentada en nuevas visiones sobre el derecho y las instituciones, se estudia cómo en un ámbito local funcionaban y se adaptaban criterios culturales y principios jurídicos generales de la tradición jurídica de Occidente

El oficio del historiador: Reflexiones metodológicas en torno a las fuentes
En esta compilación se reflexiona sobre una variedad de fuentes documentales y visuales que los historiadores tienen a su alcance. Los textos compilados no solo muestran los caminos que se abren a partir de expedientes, manuscritos, periódicos, películas, juguetes, mapas, fotografías, comics o pinturas, sino también los desafíos, las dificultades, los cuidados y las diversas maneras en que estas fuentes pueden ser estudiadas por medio de complejos procesos de búsqueda y la correspondiente formulación de preguntas y problemas que le conciernen al historiador en su investigación. Por esto, en vez de mostrar grandes postulados eruditos del estudio de las llamadas fuentes primarias, aqu...
