La cuantificación de la población esclava en la Andalucía moderna. Una revisión metodológica

Neste artigo os autores tratam de revisitar a historiografia produzida sobre a escravidao em Andaluzia durante a Idade Moderna, a qual tentou de quantificar o numero de escravos na regiao. As metodologias e os diferentes tipos de fontes historicas empregadas nesta quantificacao historica sao objecto de revisao metodologica, nomeadamente o uso das fontes notariais e os registros de batismo. Ambas tem sido fontes muito importantes para os historiadores que pesquisaram a escravidao na Andaluzia moderna. Utiliza-se uma perspectiva comparada dos resultados obtidos ate agora acrescentados com nova documentacao primaria, procurando assim oferecer consideracoes de caracter metodologico para poder estudar estes problemas historicos com uma metodologia cientifica extrapolavel a outras regioes e ambitos cronologicos.

Chapter Four The Morisco Problem and Seville (1480–1610)

In the Cortes of 1480, the Catholic Monarchs launched a new religious policy that ordered Muslims and Jews, to dwell in neighborhoods, known as morerias, separate from the Christian population. This new policy marked the end of an era in which Christian society had related to the Mudejars in a spirit of respect. The Mudejars and Muslims living in Seville thus went from leading a fairly insignificant existence in sociological terms, to occupying an increasingly defined and substantial place in Christian social imagery. The Granada war, in which Andalusian troops and noblemen played an outstanding role, was a cruel conflict that brought home the physical experience of life and death confrontation with the Moor. The war contributed to a shift in the human and vital ties between the two sides, leading to an emotional, as well as physical, separation, and to a strengthening of difference as an important social issue.
