The United Kingdom and Spain in the Eighteenth Century
This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...
The Transmission of Well-being
What does well-being mean when we talk about men and women in the past? Their sheer chances of survival, their protection from want, their social status, their individual agency and their self-esteem were all strongly mediated by the family, the predominant social institution. Family laws and customs of family formation created differences between insiders and outsiders in terms of well-being. Within families, there were strong differences in autonomy, status and freedom between the genders and generations. The book offers a fascinating exploration of gender differences in well-being in many regions of historic Europe, with some comparative perspectives. It explores how historic family systems differed with respect to choosing a marriage partner, transmitting property, living and care conditions of widows and widowers and the position of children born out of wedlock.

Artes, ciencias y letras en la América colonial
Artes, ciencias y letras en la Am?rica colonial es una obra colectiva, abierta e incompleta, al igual que la tarea de conformaci?n de una aut?ntica comunidad cultural latinoamericana. Los presentes vol?menes, que recogen investigaciones presentadas en el simposio hom?nimo celebrado en Buenos Aires en 2005, recrean de un modo variopinto ?que es tambi?n elocuente sobre la diversidad de enfoques disciplinarios posibles? la evoluci?n de la cultura colonial latinoamericana y constituyen una importante herramienta para comprender las causas tanto de algunos aspectos err?ticos del presente regional como de la riqueza sociocultural que hace de Latinoam?rica uno de los espacios m?s promisorios del planeta.

Domestic Devotions in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
Domestic devotion has become an increasingly important area of research in recent years, with the publication of a number of significant studies on the early modern period in particular. This Special Issue aims to build on these works and to expand their range, both geographically and chronologically. This collection focuses on lived religion and the devotional practices found in the domestic settings of late medieval and early modern Europe. More particularly, it investigates the degree to which the experience of personal or familial religious practice in the domestic realm intersected with the more public expression of faith in liturgical or communal settings. Its broad geographical range (spanning northern, southern, central and eastern Europe) includes practices related to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This Special Issue will be of interest to historians, art historians, medievalists, early modernists, historians of religion, anthropologists and theologians, as well as those interested in the history of material religious culture. It also offers important insights into research areas such as gender studies, histories of the emotions and histories of the senses.
Los hogares de los mares
Con el objetivo de contribuir al desarrollo de la historia social del mar a partir del estudio de la historia de la familia, esta obra colectiva trata también de cubrir un vacío historiográfico dentro de esta línea de investigación. A pesar de la consolidación de este tipo de estudios en España, faltan investigaciones que aborden desde esta perspectiva a los espacios marítimos y sus gentes. El libro, planteado con un marcado carácter regional, se centra en el estudio de las familias y de los individuos ligados de una u otra forma al mar entre los siglos XVI y XIX, desde Galicia y la cornisa cantábrica, hasta la costa mediterránea, pasando por la fachada atlántica andaluza para concluir en las Islas Canarias.
