Of Love and Loathing
Policies concerning marriage, morality, and intimacy were central to the efforts of the Spanish monarchy to maintain social control in colonial Charcas. The Bourbon Crown depended on the patriarchal, caste-based social system on which its colonial enterprise was built to maintain control over a vast region that today encompasses Bolivia and parts of Peru, Chile, Paraguay, and Argentina. Intimacy became a fulcrum of social control contested by individuals, families, the state, and the Catholic Church, and deeply personal emotions and experiences were unwillingly transformed into social, political, and moral challenges. In Of Love and Loathing, Nicholas A. Robins examines the application of la...

Between the Middle Ages and Modernity
This groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between individuals and communities in the profound transitions of the early modern period. Taking a global and comparative approach to historical issues, the distinguished contributors show that individual and community created and recreated one another in the major structures, interactions, and transitions of early modern times. Offering an important contribution to our understanding both of the early modern period and of its historiography, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working in the fields of medieval, early modern, and modern history, and on the Renaissance and Reformation.
The Oxford Handbook of History and Material Culture
Most historians rely principally on written sources. Yet there are other traces of the past available to historians: the material things that people have chosen, made, and used. This book examines how material culture can enhance historians' understanding of the past, both worldwide and across time. Deploying material culture to discover the pasts of constituencies who have left few traces in written record, the authors present familiar historical problems in new ways. This volume offers case studies arranged thematically in six sections that address the relationship of history and material culture to cognition, technology, the symbolic, social distinction, and memory.
Sin distancias
Que en los principales laboratorios de investigación de Iberoamérica y Europa, así como en numerosos medios de difusión científica e, incluso de divulgación, a parte de coloquios y reuniones, la familia sea la protagonista, demuestra las enormes posibilidades que tiene como explicación de la organización y el sistema social. Por otra parte, la división del objeto histórico le ha favorecido notablemente ya que ha puesto de relieve la necesidad de partir de, y contar con, el proceso familiar como pilar básico en la comprensión del análisis social y político. Esta profundización ha puesto de manifiesto con notable énfasis, el interés y la importancia en conocer los procesos de reproducción social que expliquen la movilidad social y las redes que constituyen y en las que se integran las familias. Este libro pretende ser una síntesis ordenada de las investigaciones sobre familia llevadas a cabo a ambos lados del Atlántico. Pretende servir como herramienta para investigadores y estudiantes que quieren profundizar en ese apasionante mundo que es la historia de la familia
