As Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra and Adrian Masters show, these social orders broke down thanks to the challenges mounted by countless individuals across the Spanish Americas—including non-elite Spanish and Indigenous people, women, and the enslaved. To achieve their goals, they turned not only to outright violence but also to massive amounts of paperwork: petitions, complaints, lawsuits, and secret testimonies. Through this grassroots “lawfare,” vassals undercut the emerging seigneurial dynasties of the conquistadors, stripped the friars of theocratic authority, and curtailed the might of native lords. Collectively, they spearheaded movements against tyranny and slavery, proposed and challenged laws, produced new types of knowledge, created archives and historical accounts, and questioned the nature of truth itself. In the process, however, these actors also gradually co-created a lasting new society of orders—one that would solidify in the 1570s with viceroys, bishops, and inquisitors at its apex.
Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra and Adrian Masters's "The Radical Spanish Empire: How Paperwork Politics Remade the New World" is nearly there @harvardpress.bsky.social! And I cannot wait.

Love that focus on archival processes and how these keep communities in the present, not as static remnants!

This is the #YayArchives equivalent of throwing a golden apple into a wedding party with “to the fairest one”, isn’t it? 🍎
Admiring the commitment to violence.

picture of an old wooden disk filled with massive old books -- I can count five. One of them is opened to reveal a gorgeous page-sized painting on its inner pages. At the back of the table, two wooden chests are opened, in which a book would neatly fit, and on which one could neatly be shown standing up and opened to one of those gorgeous little paintings. picture from Harald Deceulaer on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7341098486106411008/
The archives of St James & Antwerp Cathedral got new catalogues. Pay particular attention to the incredible art in the brotherhood lists: little gems of artistic genius to be displayed occasionally on those chests as display box. HOW COOL IS THAT RECORD USE? #YayArchives arch.arch.be/index.php?l=...

For my own indulgence, I really hope that the archivists and curators in these blue skies could share their #ExtremeCataloguing examples.
This looks mesmerising and intimidating in equal meassure. #YayArchives #HistArchives

Kate Mulcahey talking about pedlar certificates, for which pedlars needed to apply & pay each year. But why does an ancestor keep an out-of-date certificate and does it get passed through the generations? #YayArchives! #QMCBS
