Between March and June of 1759, a general military campaign ("entrada general") towards Chaco was held by the Governance of Tucumán, Buenos Aires and Paraguay. Despite the high amount of documents that were produced at the moment -both written papers and maps- this event has aroused little interest in historiography. In this paper, we aim at reviewing this military campaign from a historico-anthropological approach that resituates the documents in their contexts of production, by considering the complex relationships that link empirical facts -the actions-, imaginaries -the representations- and what is registered in the documents -the discourses. In this way, we present an ethnographic interpretation of the military campaign that delves into the facts, the different actors' objectives and motivations, and the distinct interethnic scenarios that were developed on the borders of Chaco.

In 1573, the Spanish Crown presented Friar Dionisio de Sanctis to occupy the episcopal see of Cartagena. Very early on, the prelate realized that it was not he who had the patronage of the San Sebastian Hospital, but the secular chapter. Thus, he filed a lawsuit against the municipal institution to recover the government of the hospital. Using the case file, the details of the lawsuit are presented and the speech of the response given by the city’s attorney general to the prelate’s demand is analyzed. In doing so, we seek to explain the role played by the bishops in the foundation and government of the colonial hospitals and some aspects of the functioning of the local justice system. It is hypothesized that with the appeal filed, the bishop sought to have the patronage of the hospital returned to him, just as his predecessors had held it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este ensayo presenta una investigación interdisciplinar sobre el cable submarino de fibra óptica Atlantis-2, con el objetivo de trazar las conexiones profundas entre la infraestructura material de la internet, la historia colonial, la mitología y las ruinas submarinas. Mediante la conexión e interpretación de un conjunto de elementos históricos, técnicos y narrativos en torno a Atlantis-2, este ensayo especula sobre las múltiples genealogías de los cables submarinos de telecomunicación. Comenzando con una discusión sobre la ruta seguida por Atlantis-2, la primera sección traza una conexión entre las redes coloniales y las redes digitales que cruzan el Atlántico Sur. A continuación, la segunda sección teje una historia que une el cable Atlantis-2 y la ciudad mitológica de la Atlántida, proponiendo un futuro posible de la internet como ruina submarina. Las especulaciones históricas y mitológicas que se presentan en este trabajo resaltan las raíces coloniales y materiales de los cables submarinos, y sugieren una forma distinta de investigar y relacionarse con la infraestructura material de la internet como un ecosistema frágil que debemos cuidar. This essay presents an interdisciplinary investigation of the Atlantis-2 submarine fiber optic cable, with the aim of tracing the deep connections between the material in-frastructure of the internet, colonial history, mythology, and underwater ruins. By connecting and interpreting an array of historical, technical, and narrative elements surrounding Atlantis-2, this essay speculates on the multiple genealogies of submarine telecommunication cables. Beginning with a discussion of the route followed by Atlantis-2, the first section traces a connection between colonial and digital networks crossing the South Atlantic. The second section weaves a story linking the Atlantis-2 cable and the mythological city of Atlantis, proposing a possible future of the internet as an underwater ruin. The historical and mythological speculations presented in this paper highlight the colonial and material roots of submarine cables, and suggest a different way of investigating and relating to the material infrastructure of the internet as a fragile ecosystem to care for. Este texto apresenta uma investigação interdisciplinar sobre o cabo submarino de fibra ótica Atlantis-2, para traçar as conexões profundas entre a infraestrutura material da internet, a história colonial, a mitologia e as ruínas submarinas. Por meio da conexão e a interpretação de alguns elementos históricos, técnicos e narrativos sobre Atlantis-2, o artigo se pergunta pelas muitas genealogias dos cabos submarinos de telecomunicação. A primeira parte começa com uma discussão sobre o caminho que tem Atrantis-2 e faz uma conexão entre as redes coloniais e as redes digitais que cruzam o Atlântico sul. A seguir, o texto elabora uma história que tece a relação entre o cabo e a cidade mitológica de Atlantis, para assim propor um futuro possível da internet como ruína submarina. As especulações históricas e mitológicas que se apresentam aqui querem ressaltar as raízes coloniais e materiais dos cabos submarinos, mesmo que sugerem uma maneira diferente de fazer pesquisas e de tecer relações com a infraestrutura material da internet como um ecossistema frágil que devemos cuidar.

This article deals with the Inquisition in Brazil and the role of the inquisitors in the procedural modus operandi of the ecclesiastical Tribunal of the Holy Office of Lisbon. The source documents indicate part of what was the Portuguese inquisition in Brazil during the colonization process of the territory. It seeks to understand the rite of the process through the actions of the inquisitors, the highest office in the organisation of the Holy Office of the Portuguese Inquisition. With this objective, it was necessary to approach documental sources such as the regulation, the manual for inquisitors and the cases of those accused of various crimes during the Tribunal of Lisbon. The study was realised based on primary sources and illustrated by a case in the colony of Brazil, among many others, providing details about the diverse cases that were judged in the tribunal of the Holy Office of Lisbon, as the Portuguese colony did have its own court yet installed. It is hoped that this study inspires further investigations into the subject with an eye towards studying the most varied processes of the inquisition in Brazil during the colonial period.

In order to understand the articulation between decoloniality and interculturality, it is necessary to analyze categories that include, on the one hand, historical aspects and, on the other hand, power relations and asymmetries. In this way, the need to assume a critical stance from the concepts of culture and coloniality becomes concrete. The objective of this article is to understand how western knowledge has generated a project of modernity, through discourses in which the construction of otherness goes through different processes of assimilation and incorporation of the other. These condition the adjustment of otherness, according to the dominant social standards, from essentialist conceptions, which ends in processes of differentiation and discrimination. The method used is the critical documentary review. The paper concludes that decolonization poses the challenge of dissociating itself from knowledge that distorts reality, and must distance itself from rationalities that fragment, classify, label and generate rhetoric with which social division is reinforced and segregation and exclusion are legitimized.

In this article I trace the transnational history of Pakistan and Israel, focusing on the global politics of religion entailed therein. I study the often-overlooked intra-imperial dynamics and the ways in which these intersected with the colonial and post-colonial sociology of knowledge, the politics of cultural diversity and the changing international order. I illustrate how the census and the enumeration of minorities, the claim to political representation, and the transition from 'minority' to 'nation' shaped that which could be recognised as religious difference as well as the states defined by it. I thereby show how the colonial governmental logic that structured the minority politics of the British Indian Muslims and the Palestinian Jews both limited and enabled the claims to the nations and the states that came to replace them. The case study focuses on two key individuals in the history of the Indian and Palestine partition, and the Pakistani and Israeli independence that followed, Reginald Coupland and Muhammad Zafarullah Khan. I ask how they, the institutions they represented, and the ideas they carried, circulated and influenced changed over the final decade before independence. In the final part of the article, I argue that claims for the recognition of religion in international relations (IR) are not separate from these forms of colonial epistemological politics but are intimately connected to them. By studying the global, entangled politics of religion we can begin to understand the costs of its recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the social tensions in Cartagena de Indias in the mid-18th century as a result of the proliferation of Leprosy. These tensions, which stem from the religious imaginary around this evil, were juxtaposed with some practices that showed forms of social assimilation of the sick that in theory should be isolated. Therefore, exclusion and assimilation were practices towards the lepers that paradoxically framed in a complex way in the colonial Cartagena. The work has three moments: the first one mentions some explanations from the theoretical and contextual thing, for, in a second moment, to approach charity and degredo as social practices and thus, in third place, to pass to an analysis of the tensions from the concept of semiosphere of Yuri Lotman.

These days, the social sciences must circulate through the Islamic, African, Asian, and occidental worlds because the European discourse can no longer be seen as the universal discourse. In 1517, more than 500 years ago, the Lutheran Reformation fractured Europe. That very same year, the Spanish conquistadors took over Mexico, colonizing and christianizing it. They also introduced the way in which we write history. The conquerors were completely ignorant about the indigenous societies. However, in order to impose their laws, they had to learn about their customs and, therefore, the past of those they conquered. But, what is history and time in the mind of the indigenous peoples? Time was not yet a universal value. How could the Spaniards, formed in a Christian Europe where history was chronological and focused, understand and accept Mesoamerican cosmology? The civilized against barbarians? In a few decades, the «time machine» of the invadors was used to capture the memories of the Amerindian native societies in order to fabricate a past that could be linked with the ancient heritage of Christianity. The author offers an original exploration of the beginning of the colonial expansion and explains how across the territory, the religious and the indigenous peoples began to write a history of the world.

Este artículo aborda el proceso seguido en el siglo xvi por la Escuela de Salamanca (Francisco de Vitoria, Domingo de Soto y Bartolomé de Las Casas) para interpretar, con base en la escolástica tomista, el significado de los pecados de la carne atribuidos a los indios americanos y concluir que su pasado formaba parte de la historia universal revelada por Dios y que dichos pecados eran señales de cristiandad. Abstract This article deals with the interpretation process carried out by the 16th century Salamanca School (Francisco de Vitoria, Domingo de Soto and Bartolomé de Las Casas), which was rooted in Thomistic Scholasticism, of the significance of the sins of the flesh attributed to the American Indians, and concluding that their past constituted part of world history revealed by God, and that those sins were signs of Christianity.

Climate change impacts are most severe in developing countries with limited adaptive capacity. Accordingly, in Africa, climate change adaptation has become an issue of international funding and practice. As suggested in the Introduction to this special issue, administrative traditions could play a role in how adaptation plays out. This, however, raises questions about how foreign funding regimes coincide with recipients' administrative traditions, especially on the African continent where administrative traditions are often meagerly established. To address these questions, this article takes an explorative approach. From a literature review of African state governance and development aid approaches, we take colonial legacy as the most distinctive factor responsible for African administrative traditions. In addition, we define three ways in which foreign aid programs have dealt with African administration: (1) aligning with donor administration, (2) blueprinting administration, and (3) ignoring administration. Using 34 African countries' National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs), we analyze how African governments actually frame adaptation as a governance challenge. We contrast these frames with: (1) administrative traditions based on colonial legacy and (2) the ways in which development aid programs have historically dealt with recipient African administrations. Our findings indicate that NAPAs only meagerly refer to the administrative tradition that could be expected based on colonial legacy, but extensively refer to blueprint ideas common among international donors, or ignore administration altogether. We discuss the implications for adaptation to climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Com base em exaustivo trabalho de reconstituição de séries que se estendem de 1720 a 1822, o artigo objetiva contribuir para a construção de perspectivas da economia colonial amazônica que enfatizem o contexto global - a capacidade demonstrada de se afirmar como subsistema do Império Colonial Português no contexto do mercado mundial. Ao discutir essa capacidade, avalia a evolução das condições fundamentais de escala e eficiência, entendendo-as como determinadas pelas condições locais de operação do projeto colonial. Tais condições, caracterizadas pelos fundamentos naturais únicos do bioma amazônico, são avaliadas na referência das mudanças institucionais que marcam, vigorosamente, no tempo, a trajetória da economia e sociedade regionais.Based on work of restoration of time series of some important economic variables that extend from 1720 to 1822, the paper aims to contribute to a vision of the Amazonian colonial economy that emphasizes the global context - it means a demonstrated ability to assert itself as sub-system of the Portuguese Colonial Empire in the context of world market. In discussing this capacity, the article evaluates the evolution of fundamental conditions of efficiency of the colony, considering them as determined by the peculiar features that assumed the local operation of the colonial project in Grão-Pará. These conditions, strongly characterized by the uniqueness of the natural foundations of the Amazonian biome, are evaluated in reference to the institutional changes that mark in time the trajectory of the regional economy and society.

A lo largo de la Colonia se va construyendo una memoria de la historia de los pueblos andinos que considera al Imperio incaico como su principal referente y a la figura del Inca1 como su símbolo natural. La narración de los hechos de la historia incaica, en especial aquellos relativos a la conquista española, generaron el mito de la muerte del Inca2, a la cual habrán contribuido colonizados y colonizadores. Durante el siglo XVIII serán numerosas las representaciones teatral-musicales de estos hechos. El códice Martínez Compañón (1782-85) consta de nueve tomos con alrededor de 1.500 láminas en colores que ilustran los diferentes aspectos de la vida social y natural de la zona de Trujillo, Perú. Treinta y ocho láminas, incluidas en el tomo II, se refieren directa o indirectamente a la música de tradición oral de la época, las láminas numeradas -foliación original, E. está por "Estampa"- desde la E.176 hasta la E.193 contienen un total de veinte partituras. A primera vista el título de las dos tonadas: "E.188: Allegro tonada El tupamaro, Caxamarca" y "E.191 (b): Adagio tonada el Tuppamaro de caxa-marca" sugiere que el contenido de las mismas podría tener relación con los sucesos de Cajamarca, es decir, con la captura y muerte del Inca Atahualpa3. En el mismo tomo II se encuentran además dos láminas que representan la decapitación del Inca: "Danza de la degollación del Ynga E.172; E.173.". De ser así las dos tonadas podrían ser dos fragmentos musicales únicos de las representaciones teatrales antes mencionadas4. Durante el análisis de las dos partituras encontramos que éstas tendrían relación con otras partituras del mismo códice: "E. 191, Magestuoso Cachua la Despedida de Guamachuco"; "E. 190 Allegro tonada la brugita para cantar de Guamachuco" y "E.187, Andantino Tonada El Diamante, para baylar de Chachapoyas". Se trató de analogías musicales o textuales que permitieron crear un hilo conductor con los trágicos hechos de Cajamarca. Pero más allá de determinar si algunas de las tonadas del Códice pudieran ser parte de una representación de la captura y muerte de Atahualpa de finales de la colonia, nos interesó interpretar estos cantos como signos portadores de un discurso colonial propio en dos sentidos: la relectura de hechos históricos cuales la captura y la muerte de Atahualpa; la persistencia de códigos andinos en la rememoración de ciertos rituales como el "llanto ceremonial". En este sentido se consideró, para el análisis musical, la existencia de un tono -visto en un primer momento como elemento perteneciente a un sistema de tonos incaicos cercano al sistema de modos eclesiásticos-, que llamaremos "llanto del Inca", su relación con el llanto ceremonial incaico y su rol en la transmisión de significados ligados a la ritualidad andina colonial.Throughout the colonial period a memory of the history of the Andean tribes was created. This memory considered the Inca empire as its main reference and the Inca as its natural symbol. From the narration of the facts of the Inca history, particularly those referring to the Spanish conquest, sprang up the myth of the Inca death to which contributed both conquerors and those who were conquered. During the eighthteenth century the death of the Inca was presented in numerous theatrical performances accompanied with music. The codex Martínez Compañón (1782-85) consists of nine volumes with about 1500 color plates depicting different aspects of both the social life and the natural phenomena of the Trujillo zone in Peru. Thirty eight plates, included in volume II, are related directly or indirectly with music of oral tradition of the period. The original folio numbers of these plates are all preceded by the letter E, standing for '"estampa" (plate). A total of twenty scores appear between E. 176 though E. 193. Judging from the title the text of the following two tunes -"E 188: Allegro tonada El tupamaro, Caxamarca" and "E. 191 (b): Adagio tonada el Tuppamaro de caxamarca"- could be related to the events of Cajamarca leading to the capture and death of Inca Atahualpa. The same volume II contains two other plates depicting the beheading of the Inca: "Danza de la degollación del Inga E 172; E173". Ifthis were the case these two tunes could be the only remaining musical fragments of the theatrical performances mentioned above. As a result of the analysis of these two scores we discovered that they could bear a relationship with other scores of the same codex on the basis of musical or text analogies which could be traced back to the tragic events of Cajamarca. These scores are the following: "E. 191, Magestuoso Cachua la Despedida de Guamachuco"; "E. 190 Allegro tonada la brugita para cantar de Guamachuco" and "E. 187. Andantino Tonada ElDiamante, para baylar de Chachapoyas". However our main interest was not to ascertain whether some "tonadas" of the codex could have been part of a theatrical performance of the capture and death of Atahualpa at the end of the colonial period. Indeed we are interested in interpreting these chants as bearing signs of a colonial discourse in two different aspects. On the one hand, the reinterpretation of such historical facts as the capture and death of Atahualpa, and on the other the lingering on of Andean codes in the remembrance of certain rituals such as the "ceremonial grieving". For the sake of musical analysis it was established the existence of a mode conceived initially as part of a system of modes of theInca era related to the system of European church modes. We have named this mode as "Inca grieving" and we will consider its relationships with the ceremonial grieving of the times of the incas as well as its role in the transmission of meanings related to the colonial Andean rituals.

El artículo analiza las funciones del cabildo catedralicio de la Diócesis de Nicaragua y Costa Rica con el fin de explicar las relaciones sociales, políticas y económicas de sus miembros y determinar la importancia del cabildo en el funcionamiento de la diócesis entre los años 1531 y 1859. Las fuentes primarias coloniales sobre el cabildo catedralicio, los testamentos y padrones de diezmos, entre otros; revelan que los miembros del cabildo catedralicio de León tuvieron funciones específicas dentro de la diócesis tanto durante la sede vacante como cuando existía Obispo al frente de la diócesis. Los miembros del cabildo catedralicio no constituyeron un cuerpo capitular aislado de la sociedad, sino que mantuvieron relaciones de confianza, económicas y sociales entre ellos y con la sociedad que los rodeaba, por tanto, fueron un cuerpo capitular crucial para el funcionamiento de la diócesis durante su sede vacante y cuando fueron el consejo asesor del Obispo

Haciendo uso de la metodología prosopográfica y de un enfoque teórico de redes sociales, el presente artículo se propone investigar el funcionamiento social del conocimiento, así como sus mecanismos de transmisión en la sociedad colonial de Costa Rica. También se lleva a cabo una presentación documental de las principales líneas de evolución institucional de la educación en la época. Se llega así a constatar que el conocimiento estaba en manos de una estrecha red social de individuos conectados, enriquecidos y empoderados, que formaban parte de la elite política colonial, quienes lo vedaban sistemáticamente a otros sectores sociales de la época, y lo empleaban para apuntalar su posición social.
