Book excerpt: CD-ROM; Formato del archivo: PDF Resumen: Esta investigación pretende contribuir a paliar, en la medida de lo posible, el desconocimiento existente acerca de los caballeros de hábito de las tres Órdenes castellanas durante el siglo XVIII. Por esta razón nos centramos en el estudio de aquellos individuos que lograron ostentar un hábito de alguna éstas Órdenes -Santiago, Calatrava o Alcántara- durante la primera mitad del reinado de Felipe V, 1701-1724. El desarrollo de nuestra investigación parte de una hipótesis principal para conocer a los que fueron caballeros de las Órdenes Militares castellanas: tan relevante resulta el estudio de quienes finalmente fueron ennoblecidos con el hábito como los mecanismos burocráticos de concesión de semejantes mercedes por parte del monarca y los diferentes interventores en la tramitación. Dicho planteamiento obliga a abordar la investigación desde una doble perspectiva: por un lado, la del análisis de los que lograron las mercedes de hábito y los méritos que esgrimieron, lo cual significa tanto como abordar el estudio de la política de concesiones durante el período cronológico seleccionado así como sus beneficiarios finales; por otro lado, explicar de manera precisa el proceso administrativo que conducía finalmente a la profesión como caballero. A tal efecto, analizaremos por separado cada una de las fases de dicho proceso que, hasta ahora, la historiografía no ha deslindado, e incluso, podemos afirmar que con demasiada frecuencia ha confundido. A tenor de lo expresado, los principales objetivos que nos planteamos en esta tesis doctoral giran en torno a dos cuestiones centrales. Por un lado, pretendemos desentrañar de una manera amplia y precisa el complejo procedimiento burocrático que permitía a un individuo ingresar en una Orden castellana. Por otro, investigaremos en profundidad a los nuevos caballeros de dichas corporaciones durante la primera mitad del reinado de Felipe V. Por esta razón, para dar cabida al análisis de las temáticas referidas, se estructura en torno a dos bloques claramente diferenciados. Así, en la primera parte de esta tesis analizamos todas y cada una de las distintas fases del procedimiento administrativo, desde el momento más inicial, la pretensión, hasta la consecución del hábito y, en caso de obtenerse, la profesión de votos. Adquiere tanta relevancia porque de entre todas las distinciones que la monarquía concedía, los honores de las Órdenes Militares castellanas fueron los de mayor complejidad en lo que a su tramitación se refiere. A pesar de que nuestra principal intención es centrarnos en los años que van de 1701 a 1724, hemos ampliado nuestro marco cronológico, siendo el mayor grueso documental estudiado el perteneciente al periodo transcurrido, grosso modo, entre 1670 y 1746, y añadiendo además, para obtener una mayor perspectiva de análisis, datos relativos a los reinados de Felipe III y Felipe IV. Una vez analizado el complejo procedimiento administrativo hasta ingresar en la nómina de alguna Orden castellana, en la segunda parte se aborda el estudio de estas distinciones en el periodo concreto que transcurre entre 1701 y 1724. A su vez, este bloque lo estructuramos en cuatro apartados. Los dos primeros giran en torno a las mercedes de hábito, mientras que en el tercero los protagonistas serán quienes lograron cruzarse con la venera de alguna Orden castellana. De esta manera, haciendo un seguimiento a quiénes fueron los agraciados por la monarquía con mercedes de hábito, y quiénes fueron los que posteriormente lucieron las veneras de las Órdenes Militares castellanas, podremos saber si quienes desempeñaron los servicios a la monarquía que habían sido remunerados con mercedes de hábito fueron, o no, los que posteriormente ostentaron los hábitos. También analizaremos al grupo de individuos que tomaron parte en las diligencias de los hábitos, a los que denominamos "los actores de la tramitación", para cuyo tratamiento seleccionamos a los miembros del Consejo, los informantes y los testigos que participaron en las pruebas de idoneidad, incluyendo también a una serie de intermediarios. Por último cabe señalar que con esta investigación no buscamos solamente presentar un estudio que aporte luz a lo que sólo son sombras -a causa de la inexistencia más absoluta de trabajos dedicados a las Órdenes Militares castellanas durante el reinado de Felipe V-, sino que pretendemos cuestionar y verificar algunos planteamientos que la historiografía más tradicional ha mantenido sobre estas corporaciones nobiliarias a lo largo de la Edad Moderna. Además, ponemos en valor la trascendencia de conocer en profundidad las distintas partes de la tramitación, ya que con excesiva frecuencia el historiador ha errado en sus conclusiones al confundir, entre otros aspectos, cuestiones como la concesión de la merced con el del ingreso en la nómina de alguna Orden castellana.

Download or read book A New World of Gold and Silver written by John J. TePaske and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonial Latin America was famed for the precious metals plundered by the conquistadores and the gold and silver extracted from its mines. Historians and economists have attempted to determine the amount of bullion produced and its impact on the colonies themselves and the emerging early-modern world economy. Using official tax and mintage records, this book provides decade-by-decade and often annual data on the amount of gold and silver officially refined and coined in the treasury and mint districts of Spanish and Portuguese America. It also places American bullion output within the context of global production and addresses the issue of contraband production and bullion smuggling. The book is thus an invaluable source for evaluating the rise of the early-modern economy.
Download or read book New Worlds written by John Lynch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary book encompasses the time period from the first Christian evangelists' arrival in Latin America to the dictators of the late twentieth century. With unsurpassed knowledge of Latin American history, John Lynch sets out to explore the reception of Christianity by native peoples and how it influenced their social and religious lives as the centuries passed. As attentive to modern times as to the colonial period, Lynch also explores the extent to which Indian religion and ancestral ways survived within the new Christian culture.The book follows the development of religious culture over time by focusing on peak periods of change: the response of religion to the Enlightenment, the emergence of the Church from the wars of independence, the Romanization of Latin American religion as the papacy overtook the Spanish crown in effective control of the Church, the growing challenge of liberalism and the secular state, and in the twentieth century, military dictators' assaults on human rights. Throughout the narrative, Lynch develops a number of special themes and topics. Among these are the Spanish struggle for justice for Indians, the Church's position on slavery, the concept of popular religion as distinct from official religion, and the development of liberation theology.
Download or read book Colour of Paradise written by Kris E. Lane and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. For the Mughals, Ottomans, and Safavids green was—as it remains for all Muslims—the color of Paradise, reserved for the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants. Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funneled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labor regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations—how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America written by Virginia Garrard-Burnett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region's religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.

This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro aborda, desde un renovado enfoque metodológico, el complejo universo de los honores de las Órdenes Militares castellanas, y parte de la premisa de que tan relevante resulta el estudio de los beneficiarios de estas distinciones como los mecanismos administrativos para su consecución. Se estructura en dos bloques claramente diferenciados: el primero, dedicado al análisis pormenorizado de su tramitación en los reinados de Carlos II y Felipe V, en tanto que el segundo aborda la política de concesión de mercedes de hábito llevada a cabo por Felipe V durante la primera mitad de su reinado, esto es 1701-1724, así como a todos aquellos que lograron el honor de intitularse como caballeros de Santiago, Calatrava o Alcántara. El estudio de estos honores durante la primera mitad del reinado de Felipe V desvela que se trata de una cronología clave para comprender la evolución global que experimentaron tanto la política de concesión de mercedes como la obtención de hábitos, incidiendo en la constitución de una nueva imagen social del conjunto de los caballeros de hábito. A través del conocimiento minucioso de los procedimientos burocráticos de estas distinciones resulta una visión renovada del conjunto de los caballeros de las Órdenes castellanas, alejada de obsoletas consideraciones mantenidas por cierta historiografía tradicional. Quedan perfectamente demostrados conceptos, hasta ahora un tanto confusos, como la diferencia entre merced de hábito y título de caballero o que durante los siglos XVII y XVIII quienes hicieron servicios a la Corona y profesaron como caballeros fueron dos universos con grandes divergencias.
Download or read book The History of the Catholic Church in Latin America written by John Frederick Schwaller and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One cannot understand Latin America without understanding the history of the Catholic Church in the region. Catholicism has been predominant in Latin America and it has played a definitive role in its development. It helped to spur the conquest of the New World with its emphasis on missions to the indigenous peoples, controlled many aspects of the colonial economy, and played key roles in the struggles for Independence. The History of the Catholic Church in Latin America offers a concise yet far-reaching synthesis of this institution’s role from the earliest contact between the Spanish and native tribes until the modern day, the first such historical overview available in English. John Frederick Schwaller looks broadly at the forces which formed the Church in Latin America and which caused it to develop in the unique manner in which it did. While the Church is often characterized as monolithic, the author carefully showcases its constituent parts—often in tension with one another—as well as its economic function and its role in the political conflicts within the Latin America republics. Organized in a chronological manner, the volume traces the changing dynamics within the Church as it moved from the period of the Reformation up through twentieth century arguments over Liberation Theology, offering a solid framework to approaching the massive literature on the Catholic Church in Latin America. Through his accessible prose, Schwaller offers a set of guideposts to lead the reader through this complex and fascinating history.
Download or read book Words and Worlds Turned Around written by David Tavárez and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sophisticated, state-of-the-art study of the remaking of Christianity by indigenous societies, Words and Worlds Turned Around reveals the manifold transformations of Christian discourses in the colonial Americas. The book surveys how Christian messages were rendered in indigenous languages; explores what was added, transformed, or glossed over; and ends with an epilogue about contemporary Nahuatl Christianities. In eleven case studies drawn from eight Amerindian languages—Nahuatl, Northern and Valley Zapotec, Quechua, Yucatec Maya, K'iche' Maya, Q'eqchi' Maya, and Tupi—the authors address Christian texts and traditions that were repeatedly changed through translation—a process of “turning around” as conveyed in Classical Nahuatl. Through an examination of how Christian terms and practices were made, remade, and negotiated by both missionaries and native authors and audiences, the volume shows the conversion of indigenous peoples as an ongoing process influenced by what native societies sought, understood, or accepted. The volume features a rapprochement of methodologies and assumptions employed in history, anthropology, and religion and combines the acuity of of methodologies drawn from philology and historical linguistics with the contextualizing force of the ethnohistory and social history of Spanish and Portuguese America.

Download or read book Vlad written by Carlos Fuentes and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where, Carlos Fuentes asks, is a modern-day vampire to roost? Why not Mexico City, populated by ten million blood sausages (that is, people), and a police force who won’t mind a few disappearances? “Vlad” is Vlad the Impaler, of course, whose mythic cruelty was an inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In this sly sequel, Vlad really is undead: dispossessed after centuries of mayhem by Eastern European wars and rampant blood shortages. More than a postmodern riff on “the vampire craze,” Vlad is also an anatomy of the Mexican bourgeoisie, as well as our culture’s ways of dealing with death. For—as in Dracula—Vlad has need of both a lawyer and a real-estate agent in order to establish his new kingdom, and Yves Navarro and his wife Asunción fit the bill nicely. Having recently lost a son, might they not welcome the chance to see their remaining child live forever? More importantly, are the pleasures of middle-class life enough to keep one from joining the legions of the damned?
Download or read book A Memorandum for the President of the Royal Audiencia and Chancery Court of the City and Kingdom of Granada written by Francisco Núñez Muley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conquered in 1492 and colonized by invading Castilians, the city and kingdom of Granada faced radical changes imposed by its occupiers throughout the first half of the sixteenth century—including the forced conversion of its native Muslim population. Written by Francisco Núñez Muley, one of many coerced Christian converts, this extraordinary letter lodges a clear-sighted, impassioned protest against the unreasonable and strongly assimilationist laws that required all converted Muslims in Granada to dress, speak, eat, marry, celebrate festivals, and be buried exactly as the Castilian settler population did. Now available in its first English translation, Núñez Muley’s account is an invaluable example of how Spain’s former Muslims made active use of the written word to challenge and openly resist the progressively intolerant policies of the Spanish Crown. Timely and resonant—given current debates concerning Islam, minorities, and cultural and linguistic assimilation—this edition provides scholars in a range of fields with a vivid and early example of resistance in the face of oppression.

Download or read book Universit t Zwischen Selbst und Fremdbestimmung written by Reinhard Brandt and published by ISSN. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Streit der Fakultäten (von 1798) stellt den Antagonismus der drei oberen Fakultäten (Theologie, Jurisprudenz, Medizin) und der unteren Philosophischen Fakultät dar. Die Streitfragen sind Probleme der praktischen, nicht der theoretischen Vernunft; die in ihrer Wahrheitssuche freie Philosophie konfrontiert die oberen Interessen-Fakultäten, die unter der inhaltlichen Direktive der Regierung spätere Beamte ausbilden, erstens mit der autonomen Moral (gegen den äußerlichen Buchglauben der Theologen), zweitens mit der autonomen Republik der Französischen Revolution (gegen die Fremdbestimmung durch die von den Juristen unterstützten Despoten) und drittens mit der Diätetik (gegen die äußerliche pharmakologische und chirurgische Medizin). Die Universität hat ihr vereinigendes Zentrum in dieser dreifachen kritischen Auseinandersetzung, sie läßt sich als ein Realsystem der praktischen Metaphysik fassen. Heideggers Rektoratsrede bildet den Gegenpol zur liberalen Kultur der Auseinandersetzung bei Kant; sie ist nicht nur Reflex der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten von 1933, sondern verdankt einen wesentlichen Impuls der Spätphilosophie Friedrich Schlegels. Die Selbstbehauptung der Universität kündet von der lebendigen Einheit der völkischen Universität und stellt deren Selbstbejahung gegen den Verneinungsgeist der üblichen Wissenschaften. Die geltenden sittlichen Maßstäbe werden in der neuen Lebens- und Wesenseinheit außer Kraft gesetzt.
Download or read book The Orient in Spain written by Mercedes Garcia-Arenal Rodriquez and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking as its main subject a series of notorious forgeries by Muslim converts in sixteenth-century Granada (including an apocryphal gospel in Arabic), this book studies the emotional, cultural and religious world view of the Morisco minority and the complexity of its identity, caught between the wish to respect Arabic cultural traditions, and the pressures of evangelization and efforts at integration into “Old Christian” society. Orientalist scholarship in Early Modern Spain, in which an interest in Oriental languages, mainly Arabic, was linked to important historiographical questions, such as the uses and value of Arabic sources and the problem of the integration of al-Andalus within a providentialist history of Spain, is also addressed. The authors consider these issues not only from a local point of view, but from a wider perspective, in an attempt to understand how these matters related to more general European intellectual and religious developments.

Download or read book The Arabick Interest of the Natural Philosophers in Seventeenth Century England written by G. A. Russell and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1994 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 'Arabick' Interest of the Natural Philosophers in Seventeenth-Century England" deals with the remarkably widespread interest in Arabic in seventeenth-century England among Biblical scholars and theologians, natural philosophers and Fellows of the Royal Society, and others. It led to the institutionalisation of Arabic studies at Oxford and Cambridge Universities where Arabic chairs were set up, and immense manuscript collections were established and utilised. Fourteen historians examine the extent and sources of this Arabic interest in areas ranging from religion, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, philology, and alchemy to botany. Arabic is shown to have been a significant component of the rise of Protestant intellectual tradition and the evolution of secular scholarship at universities.
