“…En el caso de las monarquías compuestas, como la española, la circulación de ideas, personas y objetos ha permitido entender su expansión ultramarina y el funcionamiento de su organización multiterritorial más allá de la violencia de la conquista o de la actividad extractiva de la colonización (Ruiz Ibáñez y Sabatini, 2009). Las interpretaciones surgidas desde este enfoque han resultado especialmente útiles para conocer con mayor detalle el desarrollo de la monarquía his-pánica -como conglomerado o territorio a territorio-y también para ofrecer una nueva visión de la historia atlántica y por extensión universal, ahora abierta a los espacios y dinámicas no anglosajonas (Greene y Morgan, 2009).…”

En las últimas décadas la historiografía ha desarrollado interesantes reflexiones en torno al funcionamiento de las entidades políticas que durante la Edad Moderna extendieron sus dominios a territorios ultramarinos. En la base de estas reflexiones ha estado el estudio de la circulación de personas y, con ellas, de objetos e ideas. Esto ha desplazado la atención sobre territorios extraeuropeos, que, como América, han pasado de ser receptáculos de lo europeo a ser pensados como vectores de movilidad. A su vez, ha permitido diversificar los perfiles de quienes se movieron o pudieron hacerlo y definir su papel en las primeras dinámicas globalizadoras. En este artículo exponemos los viajes a España que los principales de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala realizaron a lo largo del siglo XVI. Nuestro objetivo es ilustrar las particularidades de esta movilidad intercontinental y analizar cómo estos contactos multidireccionales y extendidos espacial y temporalmente articularon el gobierno de la monarquía hispánica a pesar de las distancias.

“…In addition, his death as a martyr had liberated its inhabitants to the faith. The emphasis on his cult implied that the suffering brought by war could be a way to obtain salvation (Ruiz Ibáñez and Sabatini, 2009). Similarly, the prestige and antiquity of local martyr saints such as Justa and Rufina in Seville served the cities to counterbalance royal authority and its centralizing impulses (Vicent-Cassy, 2003).…”

ABSTRACT:Having lost all monasteries and a good deal of its medieval Christian movable assets, England became one of the greatest producers of new Catholic relics during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This article aims to look, from a material point of view, at the circulation and consumption of English relics on the Catholic continent. In this case, these products were created because of violence and circulated as an answer to it. Gifts and the exchange of relics served to obtain support for the exiled Catholics and for the institutions providing for their education created in the continent, and allowed them to participate in the necropolitics of the Spanish Monarchy. Relics, artifacts and printed and manuscript narratives brought back from all over the world helped construct a selfimage of an English Catholic as a necrocommunity imbued by a sense of historical continuity and connected to a global imagined community. RESUMEN: "The Godly Greedy Appetite": La circulación de nuevas reliquias.-Tras la pérdida de los monasterios y buena parte de su patrimonio mobiliario de origen medieval, Inglaterra se convirtió en uno de los grandes productores de nuevas reliquias durante los siglos XVI y XVII. Este artículo estudia, desde un punto de vista material, la circulación y el consumo de reliquias inglesas en el continente católico. Las reliquias como objeto fueron creados como resultado de la violencia religiosa y circularon como respuesta a la misma. El regalo e intercambio de reliquias permitieron a los exiliados católicos y sus instituciones de enseñanza obtener apoyos y participar en la necropolítica de la Monarquía Hispánica. Reliquias, artefactos, narrativas manuscritas e impresas procedentes de todo el mundo fueron llevadas a su vez a las Islas Británicas, ayudando a construir una imagen de los católicos ingleses como necrocomunidad, imbuida de un sentido de continuidad histórica y conectada a una comunidad imaginada global.

“…Violence and coercion were undoubtedly present in Spanish imperial expansion both in Europe and the Indies (Escribano 2017;Ruiz Ibáñez and Sabatini 2009); however, as will be shown, that violence often took place among Castilians competing to come to peaceful terms with local indigenous populations. Negotiations and intercultural relationships have proven as definitive as violence and coercion to understand the outcome of the conquest (Daniels and Kennedy 2002;Kellogg and Ruiz Medrano 2010;Merluzzi 2008;Zuñiga 2013).…”

In the 1530s, the merchant and householder (vecino) Julián Gutiérrez resided in the small city of Acla, by the river Darién in the region of Castilla del Oro (today Panamá). In January 1535, the governor of Castilla del Oro described Gutiérrez as 'the key to pacify all the land' because 'without him the Indians did not come'. 1 But how could a sole Castilian foment peace among tribes more often at war (Helms 1979, 31-37)? The governor of the neighboring region of Cartagena, Pedro de Heredia, offered the key element to understand the equation. In a letter of December 1534, Heredia claimed that he needed better translators (lenguas) in order to pacify the land. In particular, Heredia sought out the interpreter, Isabel Corral, because 'the conquest and pacification of the land cannot be accomplished without her'. 2 Isabel Corral was an india ladina, the sister of an important cacique from the gulf of Urabá, and was married to Julián Gutiérrez. As the most prominent member of the cacicazgo, Corral 'stood in' for her whole kinship, to apply an anthropological concept (Sahlins 1985, 36), and her marriage to Gutiérrez incarnated an alliance between the elites of Castile and Urabá. Corral and Gutiérrez had travelled together, trading, along both sides of the gulf of Urabá from 1532 to 1536. Those travels, while facilitating commerce, also forged trust between the communities of Acla and the cacicazgo of Urabá and contributed, moreover, to the definition and redefinition of jurisdictional frontiers in the region. Isabel Corral, Julián Gutiérrez and Pedro de Heredia, as well as other agents considered in the following pages, illustrate how the Spanish Monarchy operated at the local level, through interactions among Castilians and, also, between Castilian and native populations. Following an interpretation of 'agent' as an individual or corporation that could engage in formal and informal relationships (Vermeir 2011), Isabel Corral became an indispensable informal agent of the Monarchy. A multiplicity of individual interests shaped the concept of common good at the local level, thus participating in a complex construction of loyalty and pertinence to the Monarchy. Isabel Corral did not occupy any official post in the administration or government, but her presence and intervention shaped new spaces of contact and relations that facilitated official endeavours in the region.The Spanish Monarchy in the Indies was built upon the interlocked foundation of cities -most of the time with only legal, not physical, existence-whose jurisdictions constructed the monarchy's political spaces from the bottom up. Considered in this way, the Spanish Monarchy does not refer to a monolithic institutional framework implemented by the Castilian Crown in the Indies. Instead, the Monarchy was a flexible
