Projet de recherche
Research project
The project being carried out seeks to investigate how they moved and who were the agents of government and justice who circulated throughout the Atlantic distances of the Habsburg Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries, with emphasis on those who lived in the Peruvian viceroyalty. We propose a global view that can bring together the agents, their knowledge and their texts. The methodology that we will apply is based on the prosopographic study of the viceroys, judges and prosecutors who moved to the viceroyalty of Peru, observing the relational networks that were interwoven on both oceanic coasts, with the purpose of showing the multiple connections between the agents in their maritime and/or land journeys. At the same time, we will seek to reveal the knowledge and textual culture to which these officers were entitled, thus attempting to show the rich tradition that imbued the jurisdictional exercise of the first global empires that emerged from the world system that was established in the 15th century.
