“…Esta mirada renovada ha tenido eco en buena parte de Europa (Caracausi et al, 2018;Mocarelli y Ongaro, 2019;, aunque su desarrollo ha sido especialmente intenso en el caso de los gremios en los Países Bajos, donde se ha reivindicado el papel dinamizador de estas instituciones, mucho más allá de su condición monopolística (Stabel, 2004;De Munck, 2011). El interés de los historiadores se ha focalizado en el análisis de los sistemas de aprendizaje y la transmisión del conocimiento técnico, permitiendo situar las corporaciones gremiales en un contexto social mucho más amplio que el inicialmente previsto por Epstein (De Munck, 2007, pp.…”

Este estudio aborda el análisis del gremio de velluters de Valencia durante toda su existencia, desde su creación en 1479 hasta el decreto de abolición de estas corporaciones en 1836. Se trata del gremio que controlaba la elaboración de tejidos de seda, la principal actividad industrial de dicha ciudad durante toda la Edad Moderna. La excepcionalidad de las fuentes archivísticas de esta institución nos permite analizar las fluctuaciones de su mercado laboral, tanto a través de la reconstrucción de la evolución del número de maestros como del análisis socioprofesional de los 9439 candidatos examinados para acceder a dicha condición. A través de este estudio de caso pretendemos contribuir al debate sobre el retorno gremial, reivindicando la necesidad de análisis contextualizados a la hora de ponderar el papel jugado por los gremios durante el Antiguo Régimen y su grado de flexibilidad y apertura.

“…Ainsi, sans aller jusqu'à nier le rôle des corporations dans une perspective de longue durée, le poids des activités rurales suggère de revenir sur le rôle de ces institutions en sortant d'une focalisation sur l'exercice d'un contrôle disciplinaire du travail. Dans le sillage d'une série de travaux qui interrogent à nouveaux frais le rôle économiquevoire entrepreneurialdes corporations (Epstein and Prack 2008 ;De Munck 2011, 2018Caracausi 2017), les articles présentés dans ce dossier permettent ainsi d'appréhender les corporations en les rapportant à des configurations spécifiques, variant en fonction des lieux et des périodes. Dans les villes italiennes de la Renaissance, Mathieu Scherman aborde les corporations, sans s'y attarder, comme des points de passage dans des stratégies familiales.…”

“…In most fifteenth-century ordinances it is unclear whether apprenticeship terms were required or how long they should last. Mostly, urban officials simply asked to have declared before the city magistrates “who that person was” when someone was taken in as a new member (De Munck 2010b: 35; 2011: 223–24). This makes us assume that the organizations determined informally and through face-to-face mechanisms whether someone could become a member.…”

“…In the second half of the fifteenth century, a fixed term to serve as an apprentice (i.e., a term that was the same for everyone) was installed in virtually all guilds. And, between the last decades of the fifteenth century and the first decades of the seventeenth century, in nearly all known guilds, a standardized master trial became obligatory (De Munck 2010b: 33; 2011: 223, 232–35; Prims 1940: 48, 1942: 76; Thijs 1987: 99). This was the case also in other cities in the Southern Netherlands.…”

Traditionally it is assumed that “modern” civil society originated in the associations, clubs, and public sphere of the eighteenth century as a result of the “liberation” of the individual from the “shackles” of absolutism, religious intolerance, and the patriarchal family. However, recent research goes further back in time. Scholars such as Robert Putnam (sociologist), Antony Black (political scientist), and Katherine Lynch (historian) associate the origins of civil society with the heyday of confraternities and guilds in the late Middle Ages. This has serious consequences for our understanding of the characteristics and functions of civil society. Given that confraternities were permeated by religious devotion and crafts were inextricably bound to the (often undemocratic) political establishment, fundamental questions arise about the importance of religion in civil society and the role of associations in the political participation of individuals. This article suggests that several long-term trends can be observed when broaching civil society from the perspective of guilds (or brotherhoods). In early modern guilds, the fraternal ideals related to mutual aid and equality appear to have gradually disappeared. Craft guilds stopped being “brotherhoods” and “substitute families” and transformed into formal and bureaucratic juridical institutions, while retreating into a sphere separate from household and family.
