Palaces for a New Spain Nobility
Mexico City and Havana had a significant number of noble palaces during the eighteenth century. Until now, the dearth of historical documentation on their construction has hampered any approximation, requiring other methodologies. Here, it is intended to establish how a new visual code was defined, consistent both with their local style and international modernity. To this end, a formal analysis has been prepared with statistical tools of both th…

Housing the King’s Enslaved Workers in the Spanish Caribbean
The construction of military edifices in Spanish Caribbean was overseen by engineers, as previous studies have largely shown, but forced labor played a key role in the processes, an understudied aspect. Hundreds of enslaved workers in San Juan de Puerto Rico or San Juan de Ulúa (Veracruz, Mexico) and thousands in Havana (Cuba) helped create the built environment of the Spanish empire in the eighteenth century yet both their significant physical p…

Architecture in Eighteenth-Century East and Southeast Asia Chinese Quarters
Chinese quarters developed significantly during the eighteenth century along the coasts of East and Southeast Asia, exhibiting a common urban milieu in cities such as Manila, Batavia, Hoi An, and Nagasaki. Sharing similarities, they can be found both in states ruled by Asians and by Europeans, allowing for a comparison. This paper aims to prove that urban and architectural approaches of Chinese enclaves in these ports were similar in the eighteen…

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints is an internationally refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles and other materials on the history of the Philippines and its peoples, both in the homeland and overseas. It believes the past is illuminated by historians as well as scholars from other disciplines; at the same time, it prefers ethnographic approaches to the history of the present. It welcomes works that are theoret…
Discussing archaeology and the nation in six European countries
We studied the use of archaeological scholarly knowledge for supporting and promoting national identity by global non-professional communities. The data collection consisted of asynchronous online text-based Facebook focus group discussions in Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Lithuania, and Spain. After, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of posts and comments we collected.Our research's main result is the identification of framing sche…
Philippine Style on Wood Screens
Early modern altarpieces constitute one of the most numerous collections of art in the Philippines and one of the most characteristic elements of religious heritage. Even so, art historians have paid little attention to their development and their chronology. This paper aims to provide a formal framework to date the archipelago’s altarpieces from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, highlighting both the European reference points and loc…
The heritage character and service quality in urban defensive structures renovated as hotels
This work seeks to demonstrate the importance of the interests of lodging service users in non-hotel resources, directly or indirectly, linked to hotels. For this, Spanish hotels located in defensive structures belonging to the Paradores chain have been selected. The conceptual framework starts from the evaluative models of the quality of service modified to this study. Then, a Big Data tool has been developed that allows for the analysis of 3372…
Mestizo Musical Iconography
During the eighteenth century, the artistic exchange between the Chinese coasts and the rest of the world was noteworthy. One of the most significant pieces resulting from these encounters is the Santo Niño cradle owned by the Money Museum in Manila. It was probably made during the 18th century and was executed using Chinese gold filigree. On top, a group of musical angels can be found. They play different instruments, such as a harp, an erhu, 二胡…
Transcultural Fights
Defensive architecture in Southeast Asian port cities during the eighteenth century is a topic never addressed from a transnational perspective. This paper aims to analyze it as a phenomenon of scientific transfer, considering fortifications as a remarkable example of “open air science.” First, it shows the complex situation among antagonistic powers in the Malay and South China seas. From here, it aims to identify the connections between Dutch a…

Archaeological Knowledge Production and Global Communities
Archaeology and material cultural heritage enjoys a particular status as a form of heritage that, capturing the public imagination, has become the locus for the expression and negotiation of regional, national, and intra-national cultural identities. One important question is: why and how do contemporary people engage with archaeological heritage objects, artefacts, information or knowledge outside the realm of an professional, academically-based…
Military Engineering in Eighteenth-Century Havana and Manila
The Spanish defeat in the Seven Years War led to a reassessment of the overseas fortification system. This paper analyses the role played by military engineers in the debate over the reconstruction of fortresses in Havana and Manila, and the influence of French discussions on the topic. The results were the product of Franco-Spanish cooperation that improved formal education. The conclusion is that the combined Bourbon response substantially adva…
Architectural Hybridity in Iberian Southeast Asia, 1580–1640
The Union of the Iberian Crowns (1580–1640) promoted a wider cultural exchange between Portuguese and Spanish Asian settlements in Asia. This paper identifies the remarkable circulation of artisans and patrons and the development of new building techniques during this period, which allowed for a shared cultural dialogue that may be best described as forms of mestizage . So, it tries to address the mobility of patrons and architects, which helps e…
La fortificación del archipiélago filipino en el siglo XVIII. La defensa integral ante lo local y lo global
Este estudio pretende demostrar el interés filipino en crear planes de fortificación complementaria durante el siglo XVIII ante amenazas locales y conflictos globales. Además de las fronteras internas con los igorrotes y los moros, hubo de abordarse el temor a ataques británicos e incluso holandeses. Esta nueva forma de plantear la defensa, teniendo en cuenta varios enclaves complementarios, fue fruto de la cooperación cultural de diferentes trad…
The Agote Map of Hainan Island, China
The idea of cartography as an example of Western imposition or process of cultural transfer is one that has long fascinated scholars interested in the margins of empires. This article analyses the maps in the possession of Manuel Agote, a Spanish factor in Canton at the end of the eighteenth century. The focus is on the use made by Agote of a Chinese map of Hainan, together with the European maps available already in China for commercial interest…

Esta informacin se pondr en relacin con las diferentes representaciones pictricas del jardn, conservadas tanto en grabados o acuarelas como en pintura…
Mestizaje y globalización en la arquitectura en Filipinas. Obando y Los Baños, dos casos de iglesias franciscanas de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII
La presencia de los franciscanos en los alrededores de Manila tuvo una gran relevancia arquitectónica durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Recientemente se han localizado en el AFIO dos nuevos dibujos de esta fecha. Se trata de los croquis de la ermita de la Virgen de Salambao (1765) y de la iglesia de Los Baños (1782). Las constituciones franciscanas tenían especial cuidado con la arquitectura, lo que obligó a plantear soluciones concretas …
Iconografía musical en el camarín de Santa Ana de Sapa (Manila)
La escasez de representaciones artísticas conservadas en Filipinas dificulta el estudio de la iconografía musical y, con ello, de las prácticas interpretativas y constructivas de los instrumentos. El análisis de este conjunto pictórico permite ofrecer nuevos datos sobre la producción pictórica y la representación musical en los territorios asiáticos del mundo hispánico
Noticias sobre el Colegio de San Ildefonso de Manila y el desarrollo de las artes en Filipinas durante el siglo XVIII
El Colegio de San Ildefonso, actualmente más conocido como iglesia de Santa Cruz de Manila fue una de las fundaciones más importantes de la Compañía de Jesús en el archipiélago. Su subasta tras la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús generó una importante documentación inédita hasta el momento. De esta colección se conserva un inventario que muestra cómo muchos documentos hacían referencia a las distintas actividades artísticas y arquitectónicas pro…
