Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerosas perspectivas han hecho a los medievalistas interesarse por las prácticas sociales, los modelos de convivencia, las representaciones literarias de la ciudad o la sociotopografía. Imágenes de la ciudad y la vida cotidiana son asuntos frecuentes en los acercamientos que se llevan a cabo. Buscando mayor concreción dentro de estos enfoques sobre cultura y mentalidades urbanas, los autores, investigan la posibilidad de abordar en distintos escenarios históricos los efectos que las acciones de los grupos sociales y poderes establecidos —concejos, Iglesia, monarquía o noblezas—, que tuvieron en el gobierno de las villas o ciudades, en la gestión de los espacios públicos o en las relaciones con las élites locales, el común de vecinos o los oficios. La percepción que sobre la ciudad y sus habitantes se tenía en la época, palpable a través de textos y documentos, sería igualmente objeto de la exploración. En la búsqueda de la conexión entre las «sociedades urbanas» y las «culturas políticas» el ámbito estaba fijado en la Corona de Castilla durante los siglos XIII al XV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra es una aproximación a la realidad social y económica de la España cristiana medieval, la cual se nos presenta como un cambiante y complejo espacio en expansión. Los autores de este documentado trabajo han sido conscientes de que bajo las generalizadoras expresiones de “economía” y “sociedad” es posible abordar los temas más variados. Por eso el criterio de selección informativa ha sido estricto, y se ha articulado alrededor de tres problemas fundamentales. El primero es el que se refiere al marco territorial en el que se desenvuelve el elemento humano, la realidad paisajística resultante de la todavía débil acción transformadora del hombre. La segunda vía de estudio es la que se articula en torno al problema de la propiedad, marco que permite percibir las distintas modalidades de producción, asunto esencial para comprender la realidad económica de una época histórica. Finalmente, las relaciones sociales integran el tercer ámbito de análisis. La jerarquización social, las nociones de libertad, dependencia..., la conflictividad que nace de los inevitables intereses encontrados, son algunos de los temas que se abordan en este apartado. El trabajo incluye un amplio capítulo en el que se analizan las minorías religiosas, grupos humanos de un peso social y económico muy importante en la España medieval. La obra aporta una visión crítica a esta época de la historia de España realizada desde un enfoque novedoso que, incluyendo las aportaciones de las últimas tendencias metodológicas, contribuye a dotar a los conceptos de «sociedad» y «economía» de una personalidad propia.

Download or read book Authority and Spectacle in Medieval and Early Modern Europe written by Yuen-Gen Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together distinguished scholars in honor of Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, this volume presents original and innovative research on the critical and uneasy relationship between authority and spectacle in the period from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, focusing on Spain, the Mediterranean and Latin America. Cultural scholars such as Professor Ruiz and his colleagues have challenged the notion that authority is elided with high politics, an approach that tends to be monolithic and disregards the uneven application and experience of power by elite and non-elite groups in society by highlighting the significance of spectacle. Taking such forms as ceremonies, rituals, festivals, and customs, spectacle is a medium to project and render visible power, yet it is also an ambiguous and contested setting, where participants exercise the roles of both actor and audience. Chapters in this collection consider topics such as monarchy, wealth and poverty, medieval cuisine and diet and textual and visual sources. The individual contributions in this volume collectively represent a timely re-examination of authority that brings in the insights of cultural theory, ultimately highlighting the importance of representation and projection, negotiation and ambivalence.

Download or read book Family Work and Household in Late Medieval Iberia written by Jeff Fynn-Paul and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family, Work, and Household presents the social and occupational life of a late medieval Iberian town in rich, unprecedented detail. The book combines a diachronic study of two regionally prominent families—one knightly and one mercantile—with a detailed cross-sectional urban study of household and occupation. The town in question is the market town and administrative centre of Manresa in Catalonia, whose exceptional archives make such a study possible. For the diachronic studies, Fynn-Paul relied upon the fact that Manresan archives preserve scores of individual family notarial registers, and the cross-sectional study was made possible by the Liber Manifesti of 1408, a cadastral survey which details the property holdings of individual householders to an unusually thorough degree. In these pages, the economic and social strategies of many individuals, including both knights and burghers, come to light over the course of several generations. The Black Death and its aftermath play a prominent role in changing the outlook of many social actors. Other chapters detail the socioeconomic topography of the town, and examine occupational hierarchies, for such groups as rentiers, merchants, leatherworkers, cloth workers, women householders, and the poor.

Download or read book The World of the Newport Medieval Ship written by Evan T. Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newport Medieval Ship is the most important late-medieval merchant vessel yet recovered. Built c.1450 in northern Spain, it foundered at Newport twenty years later while undergoing repairs. Since its discovery in 2002, further investigations have transformed historians’ understanding of fifteenth-century ship technology. With plans in place to make the ship the centrepiece for a permanent exhibition in Newport, this volume interprets the vessel, to enable visitors, students and researchers to understand the ship and the world from which it came. The volume contains eleven chapters, written by leading maritime archaeologists and historians. Together, they consider its significance and locate the vessel within its commercial, political and social environment.
Download or read book Enemies in the Plaza written by Thomas Devaney and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the end of the fifteenth century, Spanish Christians near the border of Castile and Muslim-ruled Granada held complex views about religious tolerance. People living in frontier cities bore much of the cost of war against Granada and faced the greatest risk of retaliation, but had to reconcile an ideology of holy war with the genuine admiration many felt for individual members of other religious groups. After a century of near-continuous truces, a series of political transformations in Castile—including those brought about by the civil wars of Enrique IV's reign, the final war with Granada, and Fernando and Isabel's efforts to reestablish royal authority—incited a broad reaction against religious minorities. As Thomas Devaney shows, this active hostility was triggered by public spectacles that emphasized the foreignness of Muslims, Jews, and recent converts to Christianity. Enemies in the Plaza traces the changing attitudes toward religious minorities as manifested in public spectacles ranging from knightly tournaments, to religious processions, to popular festivals. Drawing on contemporary chronicles and municipal records as well as literary and architectural evidence, Devaney explores how public pageantry originally served to dissipate the anxieties fostered by the give-and-take of frontier culture and how this tradition of pageantry ultimately contributed to the rejection of these compromises. Through vivid depictions of frontier personalities, cities, and performances, Enemies in the Plaza provides an account of how public spectacle served to negotiate and articulate the boundaries between communities as well as to help Castilian nobles transform the frontier's religious ambivalence into holy war.
Download or read book Shortage and Famine in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon written by Adam Franklin-Lyons and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late fourteenth century, the medieval Crown of Aragon experienced a series of food crises that created conflict and led to widespread starvation. Adam Franklin-Lyons applies contemporary understandings of complex human disasters, vulnerability, and resilience to explain how these famines occurred and to describe more accurately who suffered and why. Shortage and Famine in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon details the social causes and responses to three events of varying magnitude that struck the western Mediterranean: the minor food shortage of 1372, the serious but short-lived crisis of 1384–85, and the major famine of 1374–76, the worst famine of the century in the region. Shifts in military action, international competition, and violent attempts to control trade routes created systemic panic and widespread starvation—which in turn influenced decades of economic policy, social practices, and even the course of geopolitical conflicts, such as the War of the Two Pedros and the papal schism in Italy. Providing new insights into the intersecting factors that led to famine in the fourteenth-century Mediterranean, this deeply researched, convincingly argued book presents tools and models that are broadly applicable to any historical study of vulnerabilities in the human food supply. It will be of interest to scholars of medieval Iberia and the medieval Mediterranean as well as to historians of food and of economics.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Cities in World History written by Peter Clark and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008 for the first time the majority of the planet's inhabitants lived in cities and towns. Becoming globally urban has been one of mankind's greatest collective achievements over time, and raises many questions. How did global city systems evolve and interact in the past? How have historic urban patterns impacted on those of the contemporary world? And what were the key drivers in the roller-coaster of urban change over the millennia - market forces such as trade and industry, rulers and governments, competition and collaboration between cities, or the urban environment and demographic forces? This pioneering comparative work by leading scholars drawn from a range of disciplines offers the first detailed comparative study of urban development from ancient times to the present day. The Oxford Handbook of Cities in World History explores not only the main trends in the growth of cities and towns across the world - in Asia and the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas - and the different types of cities from great metropolitan centres to suburbs, colonial cities, and market towns, but also many of the essential themes in the making and remaking of the urban world: the role of power, economic development, migration, social inequality, environmental challenge and the urban response, religion and representation, cinema, and urban creativity. Split into three parts covering Ancient cities, the medieval and early-modern period, and the modern and contemporary era, it begins with an introduction by the editor identifying the importance and challenges of research on cities in world history, as well as the crucial outlines of urban development since the earliest cities in ancient Mesopotamia to the present.

Download or read book Food Consumption in Medieval Iberia written by Juan Vicente García Marsilla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the banquets of kings and nobles to the daily struggle for the subsistence of the poor, food was already much more than a biological necessity in the Middle Ages: it was a social phenomenon full of meaning. In this book all the implications and meanings that food had on the Iberian Peninsula between the 13th and 15th centuries are analyzed. Historical assessment of the region is particularly rewarding because of the quantity and variety of historical sources, and because of the coexistence in medieval Iberia of the three great monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Taking both economic and sociological perspectives, every aspect of food is analyzed, from the commercialization of food production to its consumption, and from the evolution of culinary techniques to table manners.
