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.

Book excerpt: Fully incorporates Pahlavi Iran into the global history of the 1960s and ’70s, when Iran mattered far beyond its borders. The reign of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1941–79), marked the high point of Iran’s global interconnectedness. Never before had Iranians felt the impact of global political, social, economic, and cultural forces so intimately in their national and daily lives, nor had Iranian actors played such an important global role – on battlefields, barricades, and in board rooms far beyond Iran’s borders. Iranian intellectuals, technocrats, politicians, workers, artists, and students alike were influenced by the global ideas, movements, markets, and conflicts that they also helped to shape. From the launch of the Shah’s White Revolution in 1963 to his overthrow in the popular revolution of 1978–79, Iran saw the longest period of sustained economic growth that the country had ever experienced. An entire generation took its cue from the shift from oil consumption to oil production to dream of, and aspire to, a modernized Iran, and the history of Iran in this period has tended to be presented as a prologue to the revolution. Those histories usually locate the political, social, and cultural origins of the revolution firmly within a national context, into which global actors intruded as Iranian actors retreated. While engaging with that national narrative, this volume is concerned with Iran’s place in the global history of the 1960s and ’70s. It examines and highlights the transnational threads that connected Pahlavi Iran to the world, from global traffic in modern art and narcotics to the embrace of American social science by Iranian technocrats and the encounter of European intellectuals with the Iranian Revolution.
Download or read book Vienna and Versailles written by Jeroen Frans Jozef Duindam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings vividly to life the courtiers and servants of the imperial court in Vienna and the royal court at Paris-Versailles. Drawing on a wealth of material masterfully set in a comparative context, the book makes a unique contribution to the field of court studies. Staff, numbers, costs and hierarchies; daily routines and ceremonies; court favourites and the nature of rulership; the integrative and centripetal forces of the central courtly establishment: all are seen in a long-term, comparative perspective that highlights both the similarities and the distinctiveness of developments in France and the Habsburg lands. In the process, most conventional views of each court - and of court life in general - are challenged, and an alternative interpretation emerges. Finally, by relocating the household in the heart of the early modern state, Vienna and Versailles forces us to rethink the process of statebuilding and the notion of 'absolutism'.
Download or read book The Universities of the Italian Renaissance written by Paul F. Grendler and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2004-11-03 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “magisterial [and] elegantly written” study of Renaissance Italy’s remarkable accomplishments in higher education and academic research (Choice). Winner of the Howard R. Marraro Prize for Italian History from the American Historical Association Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Italian Renaissance universities were Europe's intellectual leaders in humanistic studies, law, medicine, philosophy, and science. Employing some of the foremost scholars of the time—including Pietro Pomponazzi, Andreas Vesalius, and Galileo Galilei—the Italian Renaissance university was the prototype of today's research university. This is the first book in any language to offer a comprehensive study of this most influential institution. Noted scholar Paul F. Grendler offers a detailed and authoritative account of the universities of Renaissance Italy. Beginning with brief narratives of the origins and development of each university, Grendler explores such topics as the number of professors and their distribution by discipline; student enrollment (some estimates are the first attempted); famous faculty members; budgets and salaries; and relations with civil authority. He discusses the timetable of lectures, student living, foreign students, the road to the doctorate, and the impact of the Counter Reformation. He shows in detail how humanism changed research and teaching, producing the medical Renaissance of anatomy and medical botany, new approaches to Aristotle, and mathematical innovation. Universities responded by creating new professorships and suppressing older ones. The book concludes with the decline of Italian universities, as internal abuses and external threats—including increased student violence and competition from religious schools—ended Italy’s educational leadership in the seventeenth century.

Download or read book Raiding Trading and Feasting written by Laura L. Junker and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as the first millennium A.D., the Philippine archipelago formed the easternmost edge of a vast network of Chinese, Southeast Asian, Indian, and Arab traders. Items procured through maritime trade became key symbols of social prestige and political power for the Philippine chiefly elite. Raiding, Trading, and Feasting presents the first comprehensive analysis of how participation in this trade related to broader changes in the political economy of these Philippine island societies. By combining archaeological evidence with historical sources, Laura Junker is able to offer a more nuanced examination of the nature and evolution of Philippine maritime trading chiefdoms. Most importantly, she demonstrates that it is the dynamic interplay between investment in the maritime luxury goods trade and other evolving aspects of local political economies, rather than foreign contacts, that led to the cyclical coalescence of larger and more complex chiefdoms at various times in Philippine history. A broad spectrum of historical and ethnographic sources, ranging from tenth-century Chinese tributary trade records to turn-of-the-century accounts of chiefly "feasts of merit," highlights both the diversity and commonality in evolving chiefly economic strategies within the larger political landscape of the archipelago. The political ascendance of individual polities, the emergence of more complex forms of social ranking, and long-term changes in chiefly economies are materially documented through a synthesis of archaeological research at sites dating from the Metal Age (late first millennium B.C.) to the colonial period. The author draws on her archaeological fieldwork in the Tanjay River basin to investigate the long-term dynamics of chiefly political economy in a single region. Reaching beyond the Philippine archipelago, this study contributes to the larger anthropological debate concerning ecological and cultural factors that shape political economy in chiefdoms and early states. It attempts to address the question of why Philippine polities, like early historic kingdoms elsewhere in Southeast Asia, have a segmentary political structure in which political leaders are dependent on prestige goods exchanges, personal charisma, and ritual pageantry to maintain highly personalized power bases. Raiding, Trading, and Feasting is a volume of impressive scholarship and substantial scope unmatched in the anthropological and historical literature. It will be welcomed by Pacific and Asian historians and anthropologists and those interested in the theoretical issues of chiefdoms.

Download or read book Contested Pasts written by Katharine Hodgkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inter-disciplinary volume demonstrates, from a range of perspectives, the complex cultural work and struggles over meaning that lie at the heart of what we call memory. In the last decade, a focus on memory in the human sciences has encouraged new approaches to the study of the past. As the humanities and social sciences have put into question their own claims to objectivity, authority and universality, memory has appeared to offer a way of engaging with knowledge of the past as inevitably partial, subjective and local. At the same time, memory and memorial practices have become sites of contestation, and the politics of memory are increasingly prominent.
Download or read book Princes Patronage and the Nobility written by Ronald G. Asch and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a comparative perspective, this volume studies the court as a crucial center of government and politics, as well as the dominant focus for the ruling elites. The essays explore how the early modern court gradually developed from the medieval royal household to its very different form in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Comparing England, Germany, France, Spain as well as the Netherlands and Italy, the editors find that several common themes emerge: the problem of integrating a number of often vastly different provinces and principalities through the attraction of a court; the capital city's function as the basis of the court and as its rival; the role of the Court during the great religious conflicts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; and the court as an instrument for domesticating the nobility and a stronghold of aristocratic influence.
Download or read book The Iberian World written by Fernando Bouza and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 1314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iberian World: 1450–1820 brings together, for the first time in English, the latest research in Iberian studies, providing in-depth analysis of fifteenth- to early nineteenth-century Portugal and Spain, their European possessions, and the African, Asian, and American peoples that were under their rule. Featuring innovative work from leading historians of the Iberian world, the book adopts a strong transnational and comparative approach, and offers the reader an interdisciplinary lens through which to view the interactions, entanglements, and conflicts between the many peoples that were part of it. The volume also analyses the relationships and mutual influences between the wide range of actors, polities, and centres of power within the Iberian monarchies, and draws on recent advances in the field to examine key aspects such as Iberian expansion, imperial ideologies, and the constitution of colonial societies. Divided into four parts and combining a chronological approach with a set of in-depth thematic studies, The Iberian World brings together previously disparate scholarly traditions surrounding the history of European empires and raises awareness of the global dimensions of Iberian history. It is essential reading for students and academics of early modern Spain and Portugal.
Download or read book The Ottoman Empire 1326 1699 written by Stephen Turnbull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ottoman Empire and its conflicts provide one of the longest continuous narratives in military history. Its rulers were never overthrown by a foreign power and no usurper succeeded in taking the throne. At its height under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Empire became the most powerful state in the world a multi-national, multilingual empire that stretched from Vienna to the upper Arab peninsula. With Suleiman's death began the gradual decline to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699 in which the Ottoman Empire lost much of its European territory. This volume covers the main campaigns and the part played by such elite troops as the Janissaries and the Sipahis, as well as exploring the social and economic impact of the conquests.

Download or read book Spanish Rome 1500 1700 written by Thomas James Dandelet and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Rome was an aged but still vigorous power while Spain was a rising giant on track toward becoming the world’s most powerful and first truly global empire. This book tells the fascinating story of the meeting of these two great empires at a critical moment in European history. Thomas Dandelet explores for the first time the close relationship between the Spanish Empire and Papal Rome that developed in the dynamic period of the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish Golden Age. The author examines on the one hand the role the Spanish Empire played in shaping Roman politics, economics, culture, society, and religion and on the other the role the papacy played in Spanish imperial politics and the development of Spanish absolutism and monarchical power. Reconstructing the large Spanish community in Rome during this period, the book reveals the strategies used by the Spanish monarchs and their agents that successfully brought Rome and the papacy under their control. Spanish ambassadors, courtiers, and merchants in Rome carried out a subtle but effective conquest by means of a distinctive “informal” imperialism, which relied largely on patronage politics. As Spain’s power grew, Rome enjoyed enormous gains as well, and the close relations they developed became a powerful influence on the political, social, economic, and religious life not only of the Iberian and Italian peninsulas but also of Catholic Reformation Europe as a whole.

This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
