More industrious and less austere than expected
This article studies the changes in ownership of real estate, livestock and objects belonging to agricultural workers in the region of Girona, north-eastern Catalonia, through the analysis of a sample of nearly one thousand postmortem inventories dated between 1725 and 1807. It shows that a sizable number of agricultural workers gained greater access to property rights in land and other means of production, as well as undeniable improvements in t…
Seeing credit and property rights from below
The Catalan case in south-western Europe offers us the opportunity to take a detailed look at the impact a lowering of the interest rate may have had on the poor of a specific area. It is vital to examine how property rights operated in specific contexts, given the close relationship between land and credit markets. Our working hypothesis is that, in some instances where property rights were redefined, as happened in eighteenth-century Catalonia,…
Beyond Life Cycle and Inheritance Strategies
In this article we propose to study social change that took place in the eighteenth century, a period of demographic growth in which increasing difficulties of access to land could have led to greater downward mobility and proletarization. However, our hypothesis is that this was also a period of middle class emergence in some rural regions. In the studied case (the Girona region in north-eastern Catalonia), after significant growth of the number…
Dispensation from Banns. A Data Source for Historical Demography and Social History
In certain regions of Spain, it was customary among the Catholic population to request a dispensation from banns. A study of this practice since the seventeenth century in Catalonia sheds new light on marriages in the region. This short paper focuses on the archives of the diocese of Girona, with a study of the content, characteristics and continuity of this data source and an assessment of its representativeness. It also examines the motives beh…
Les dispenses de bans. Une source pour la démographie historique et l'histoire sociale
Dans certaines régions d'Espagne, la coutume consistant à solliciter une dispense de proclamations de mariage était très répandue parmi la population catholique. Son étude depuis le xvii e siècle en Catalogne permet d'aborder d'une autre façon les mariages. Cette note de recherche porte sur des séries documentaires du diocèse de Gérone et permet d'analyser le contenu, les caractéristiques et la continuité de cette source, d'évaluer son degré de r…
Sharecropping and the management of large rural estates in Catalonia, 1850-1950
This article examines the role of sharecropping in the operation of great estates in Catalonia (Spain) from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Noting that the sharecropping option was not the fruit of inertia, but of the failure of alternatives, we look at the various factors which led to its predominance. Next, we show the adaptability of sharecropping to a variety of ecological and social contexts. Finally, we argue that the backw…
