In this article we collect the first data elaborated from the Moncat database that gathers data of 9,800 religious who professed between 1850 and 1936 from a systematic emptying of the population registers of Catalonia. From these data we reconstruct the geography of the origin of nuns in Catalonia, the relationship between origin and congregations, the origin of the nuns according to whether they were cities with or without a diocese and the average length of stay in the convents.

At the end of the 17th century, the community of Sancti Spiritus de Puente la Reina (Navarra) was altered by the development of a criminal process against the community's perpetual vicar. His arrival prompted changes that affected the daily lives of these nuns and generated factions and internal instability. The study of this process allows us to analyse the power dynamics that converged, evolved and manoeuvred in a context of tension. Also, it provides information about the possible motivations of the opposing parties and the resources they used to defend their own objectives. Apparently, due to inadequacy of spiritual relationships, a faction of the community denounced these shortcomings. Ultimately, the confession will be used as an argument to defend the ways of life to which this group of women was accustomed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A finales del siglo XVII, la comunidad de comendadoras de Sancti Spiritus de Puente la Reina (Navarra), se vio alterada por el desarrollo de un proceso criminal contra el vicario vitalicio de la comunidad. Su llegada había motivado cambios que afectaron a la vida cotidiana de estas religiosas y generaron facciones e inestabilidad interna. El estudio de este proceso permite analizar las dinámicas de poder que confluyeron, evolucionaron y maniobraron en un contexto de tensión, así como cuáles fueron las posibles motivaciones de las partes enfrentadas y los recursos que emplearon para defender sus propios objetivos. Al parecer, las relaciones espirituales no se estaban desarrollando de forma adecuada y parte de la comunidad denunció las malas prácticas. En última instancia, la confesión será usada como un argumento para defender los modos de vida acostumbrados en este grupo de mujeres.

El objetivo de este artículo es profundizar en el aggiornamento del Vaticano II durante el franquismo. Especialmente, el foco de interés se centra en las religiosas y el giro identitario que asumieron tras la llamada eclesiástica a la modernización. De esta manera, durante los años conciliares, se percibe cómo el arquetipo monjil del nacionalcatolicismo comienza a convivir con otro impulsado desde el Vaticano II, más abierto y en consonancia con la nueva doctrina conciliar sobre las mujeres y la vida consagrada. Se entrecruzarán, por tanto, las categorías de modernidad, género y religión para un acercamiento a la complejidad de este proceso.

El presente artículo analiza el trabajo realizado por las Hijas de la Caridad de San Vicente de Paul en los hospitales de Chile durante el siglo XIX. En base a escritos originales de las vicentinas y reglamentos hospitalarios, postula que los cambios introducidos por dichas religiosas fueron fundamentales permitiendo que los hospitales fueran desligándose de la beneficencia colonial e ir adentrándose en los parámetros establecidos por la ciencia moderna.

We created a web-based digital history resource, documenting the work of the Sisters of the Infant Jesus in Bembibre, Spain. The resource contains an interpretative historical narrative that examines the Sisters’ time in Bembibre and the development of their school, as well as a visualization of their historical context and the conceptual tools used in the research. The user can read the narrative, explore their photographs, listen to exchanges in the groups organized by the Sisters when the research began, but also learn about the larger historical framework in which they lived. The resource also invites contributions from users who lived this experience, and our intention is to help foster an online community of the Sisters’ former pupils and their descendants. The target users for this resource are researchers as well as the Sisters and former students of the school. The purpose of the work is twofold: one, to explore the new methods of conceptualizing and disseminating humanities research that are afforded by digital technology, and two, to make historical research accessible for the general public and to create a space for those who lived the experience in Bembibre and worked with the Sisters to be a part of the research. In this paper, we both describe the web resource and share its contents. The website is located at http://theirgroup.org/Bembibre.

This introduction to a collective essay collection on life stories, healing and religion revises connections between spiritual experience and perceptions of the body in the lives of early modern women, particularly nuns and women healers in Spain and America. By analysing sources such as court records, mystical writings, letters and legal statements, the journal essays that follow explore how individual identities are expressed through social networks, but also against externally imposed destinities.

The objectives were to make a description of the hospital and the works undertaken, exposing the conditions of the agreement between the city and religious and describe changes that occur during 1894. There has been a historical documentary study during the years 2014-2015 of the files deposited in the Municipal Archives of Trujillo. The Municipal Hospital in the city of Trujillo, was destined to service citizens, sick soldiers and bystanders. The Sisters Lovers of Jesus and Mary Immaculate performed treatment of patients since the year 1890. To assist the sisters would be hired a nurse and a nurse, paid by the city. During 1894 the City Council performed changes that produced the cessation of the assistance service of religious. The changes originated by the complaints of some patients and the high costs that the City Council had to pay for hospital maintenance. With the cessation, the religious began to study a new organization of the regime and the management of the institution.

Con la conquista española en América se generó una reestructuración de las normas sociales que conllevó negociaciones de poder y estrategias de resistencia por parte de los agentes sociales involucrados, tanto hispanos como indígenas, y que en el caso del territorio al sur de Chile a fines del siglo XVI se articuló en un contexto de frontera. El presente artículo aborda, a partir del relato sobre el rapto y cautiverio de sor Francisca en la antigua ciudad de Osorno, formas de resistencia social que se pueden desprender de este hecho histórico, asociadas con el rol que desempeñó la mujer religiosa a inicios de la Colonia y de su relación con el mundo indígena, sobre la base de las categorías de castas y género y del vínculo de ambas en un contexto de agentes sociales subalternos.

The essay offers the fundamental coordinates on the relationship of Giovanni Battista Montini - Paul VI with the Religious highlighting essential aspects of joy and happiness. It is divided into five parts and well stipulated in the preliminary notes as specified: The seed fallen on good soil, «I desire you to be united», «We love religious»; In Witness: "everything is held". After the introduction, the essay presents the story of Giovanni Battista in the family context followed by his priestly ministry up to his election as archbishop of Milan. Thereafter, it shows his Ministry Activity in Milan and subsequently discusses his Petrine ministry up to the point of the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelica Testificatio and its immediate resonances, a synthesis in progress. This essay is a very small piece placed in the vast mosaic of studies that have had a place of singular depth and breadth and completeness in the process for his beatification and canonization.

This text addresses gender violence during the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985), from Ozualdo Candeias' film A Freira e a tortura (1983). It is a fiction feature that shows the imprisonment and torture of a nun. Based on Jorge Andrade's play Milagre na Cela (1975), the film allows us to problematize a theme that is not very much addressed by Brazilian historiography, that is, political and gender violence against religious during the military regime in Brazil.

Desde que el cine irrumpió en el mundo en 1891, la Iglesia Católica puso atención a la presencia del invento y las consecuencias que tendría para la sociedad. Después, arremetió contra el cine inmoral, por medio de la creación de “santas cruzadas” lideradas por miembros de la Acción Católica, que tenían como objetivos: la producción de cine moral a nivel Internacional a través de empresas Cinematográficas en Europa; y consolidar un mecanismo de censura que se implementó con la Legión de la Decencia de Estados Unidos. En este sentido, entre los medios empleados por la Acción Católica Colombiana entre 1934 y 1942, se observa que la censura a la cinematografía es una de ellas. Es a través de los medios de comunicación impresos católicos como La Revista de la Acción Católica Colombiana (Bogotá), La Unidad Católica (Pamplona), El Granito de Arena (San José de Cúcuta) y El Alcázar (Bucaramanga), que se lleva a cabo la censura a la cinematografía. De manera que, este mecanismo fue un medio de la Acción Católica y de la Iglesia Católica para controlar y vigilar la reproducción de películas en los salones de cine de las parroquias Colombianas.

In the last decade of the twentieth century there existed a growing interest for revising and rewriting the biographies of women such as Hildegard Von Bingen and Teresa of Ávila whose fictionalised lives happen within the limits of convents and cloisters, but who know how to transgress and outwit the rules imposed by the patriarchal authorities. Works such as Joan Ohanneson’s Scarlet Music (1998), Josefina Molina’s En el umbral de la hoguera (1999), Michèle Roberts’ Impossible Saints (1997) or Carmel Bird’s The White Garden (1995) throw new lights on the lives of the Medieval nun and the Spanish mystic and show the importance of the spaces they have for self-realisation. Whether they step out of the convent cells in a literal or a metaphorical way, and whether this happens openly or subversively, these outstanding women know how to defy the dictates of patriarchy and make of these places a space of freedom.

Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y hasta mediados del siglo XX, las hermanas de Caridad del Huerto tuvieron una presencia muy activa en los servicios de salud tanto municipales como provinciales en Tucumán. Así las vemos actuar en el hospital de mujeres (1876), en el hospital mixto Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (desde 1883), luego hospital Padilla; en el hospital San Miguel (1900), en el hospital de niños (1905), en el asilo San Roque y en el hospital Santillán. Les tocó también desplegar su accionar en los períodos de las grandes epidemias como la del cólera en 1886. El interés por estudiar la presencia de las hermanas de Caridad en su vinculación con el cuidado de la salud, especialmente en el siglo XIX e inicios del XX, se articula con el propósito de este trabajo que se orienta al análisis en clave teórica sobre la práctica de la enfermería y de la ética del cuidado, como don voluntario, como caridad y los cuestionamientos que transformaron esta mirada a la luz de los estudios feministas.
