Orphans and adoption in early modern Castilian villages
The high mortality rates of early modern rural Castile left multitudes of children without mothers and fathers. Castilian villagers found various informal ways to deal with these children: many were placed in adoptive homes; others in service or with guardians. Increasingly, though, the responsibility was institutionalized, as foundling hospices became centers for receiving and distributing orphans. The transfers of children to host families, whe…

Juveniles in the rural work force of sixteenth‐century castile
Peasant children in sixteenth‐century Castile helped their families with various domestic chores and agropastoral jobs. Used as unpaid workers, they enabled the typical peasant family to diversify its activities, and often to raise its standard of living. Hired juvenile workers were also quite important in Golden Age Castile. These seemingly entered the job market because their own families lacked the resources to enable them to remain at home. T…

Peasant communalism and anti-communal tendencies in early modern Castile∗
Communalism was of vital importance in the peasant society of late medieval and early modern Castile. Various forms of public ownership were protected by local and royal law. Nevertheless, despite the many apparent advantages of the system, and despite its legal safeguards, it was progressively eroded during the 16th century by a current ofindividualism. The very peasants who supposedly benefitted from the communal system, in fact constantly atta…
Concerning Pigs, the Pizarros, and the Agro-Pastoral Background of the Conquerors of Peru
The history of the Pizarros, conquerors of Peru, is inseparably bound with images of swine. If we are to believe the chronicler Gómara, the Pizarro-pig association began when the illegitimate infant Francisco was abandoned at a church door, where he survived by suckling a sow for several days. Later, according to Gómara, the young Francisco's father recognized his offspring, but only to make him his swineherd. Though the former of these two stori…
Villa-Lobos as Pedagogue
Heitor Villa-Lobos, Brazil's most famous composer, was also an ardent nationalist. On returning to his own country from Europe in 1930, he designed and organized a nationwide program of music education with a strong emphasis on Brazilian identity and solidarity. Its distinguishing element was the use of canto orfeônico, a technique of mass a capella singing in which the pitches are indicated by the conductor's hands. Despite the prevailing partia…
