Starting from the well-known idea that short theatre is a very favorable terrain for metatheatricality, in this work we seek to study the meta-theatrical features present in the interludes (entremeses) written by José Julián López de Castro, a Spanish poet and dramatist in the eighteenth-century. The choice of this object of study responds to the low interest that critics have given, on the one hand, to the life and work of this Madrid writer and, on the other, to the subject of meta-theatricality in the short dramatic pieces of the eighteenth-century Spanish.

This article analyzes, from a social perspective, the causes and motives that triggered fights and confrontations in Zacatecas in the Eighteenth-century. It sees a relationship between trivial violence and gender configurations because the behavior of men was associated to masculinity feelings of that time. From a theoretical point of view, it makes a concise review of the main historiographical contributions of the topic. All of the above demonstrates that masculinity portrayed by men in Zacatecas was not different from other masculinities in New Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In an almost similar number, a handful of homes in Burgos in the 18th century had opted, on the one hand, to house their components in their property and, on the other, to live on a rental basis even though they owned one or more buildings in the urban fabric. The search for a better location in the hamlet - thanks to the flight of dangerous and undesirable streets and neighborhoods - and greater domestic comfort - especially in terms of the dimensions of the floors capable of daily coexistence - obtaining of certain economic profitability, the proximity to their jobs and their «peers» or the thriving in the culture of appearances and material culture explain, as far as possible, such strategic decisions.

During the second half of eighteenth-century, the walls of many churches, located on the royal roads between Potosí and Arica, were covered with mural paintings. This proliferation of pictorial programs could be linked to the discussion at the Synod of la Plata in 1771-1773. In some chapters of this Synod there are explicit references to Pope Benedict XIV's document about catechesis, as well as ideas about the sacred images proposed in treatises written after the Council of Trent. In this article, we will analyze five churches and their mural painting programs. In some ways, the wall paintings under study could be understood as the result of global Catholic policies and as a consequence of a complex network of circulation of ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with the role and intervention of the Inquisition in the eighteenth-century book trade between Europe and America. Books were transported through Spain along what was known as the ‘Carrera de Indias’ (the Indies route) on their way to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. During this period, which to date has not received the attention it deserves from historians, the Holy Office of the Inquisition no longer had the effect and influence that it had exercised in previous centuries. By the eighteenth century the Inquisition was in a state of crisis and decline, largely owing to the impetus which the Bourbon reforms in Spain gave to state censorship, this being part of a deliberate strategy by the Crown to increase the centralization of its powers. The spread of Enlightenment ideas in and from France and Spain is a major factor in producing the increased number of banned books that circulated on the other side of the Atlantic at this time.
