Grandmother, Birth Assistant, Godmother. Grandparents and Newborns in a Spanish Mountain Village (Pedro Bernardo, Ávila, 1850-1861)
Where a grandmother was alive, she took a very active part in the care of her grandchildren, from the very beginning of their existence. There is considerable evidence for this thesis from Castilian rural communities, rooted in longstanding modes of life and with family structures that encouraged close interaction between the generations. Drawing on mid-19th century parish registers from Pedro Bernardo (Ávila) this case study analyses the ratio o…
Los bautizados de socorro de Pedro Bernardo (Ávila). Un momento de transición en el registro de la muerte neonatal
Emergency baptism refers to the number of infants born with little chances of survival. The logical place to look for this type of baptism seems to be the baptismal register. However, to get a complete picture, an examination of registers of deaths is necessary. This is the conclusion drawn from registers kept by the parish priest of Pedro Bernardo (Ávila) from 1845 to 1860. These books provide surprising data which urge for a revision of current…
Manos y materia. Volver tangible la sociabilidad en el parto áureo
Quienes asisten a un nacimiento traen al mundo una nueva vida y moldean a la vez su futura identidad. Separan dos cuerpos, exponen al neonato, lo examinan y pronuncian el veredicto sobre su aceptación para luego incorporarlo en el grupo. Los gestos de parteras, familiares o ayudantes celestiales crean así seres vivos y, al mismo tiempo, miembros de la comunidad. Sus manos se vuelven vehículos de sociabilidad y socialización, tanto como pueden señ…
Escenarios de parto y bautismo de urgencia en libros de bautismo del siglo XVII
During the 17th century, there is a steady increase of references to emergency baptism in Spain. These references facilitate important insights into the circumstances of childbirth. The data reviewed in this paper mostly stems from the parish registers of San Justo y Pastor and San Pedro de Barajas, and they cover the years from 1611 to 1663. This information reveals some tendencies regarding the number and ratio of infants born in precarious con…
Midwife Diplomacy. The Recruitment of a Midwife for Empress Margarita María Teresa de Austria (1666-1673)
During her stay in Vienna, from 1666-1673, empress Margarita María Teresa de Austria, who was of Spanish origins, gave birth four times and died when she was pregnant with a fifth child. The question of what midwife would best serve her was repeatedly discussed at the highest diplomatic level. The reputation of these midwives depended not only on their performance in the delivery room. Royal midwifery was linked to culture and language, to the in…
Childbirth Rhythms and Childbirth Ritual in Early Modern Spain, together with some Comments on the Virtues of Midwives
Childbirth in Early Modern Spain can be viewed as an area where ignorant midwives and cruel doctors ruled over terrified women who, deprived of all choices, were condemned to passively endure the ordeal of parturition. Medical and judicial sources seem to strengthen this vision.Yet, when we apply Mary Douglas’s theory of ritual, another picture emerges which might be just as valid for wide sections of social experience. Consequently, this articl…
The Ambassador at the Theatre
Quelle a été l’influence du théâtre sur les stratégies de communication de l’ambassadeur des Habsbourgs à la cour d’Espagne, à une époque où la dissimulation était devenue un outil indispensable ? L’article aborde cette question en s’appuyant sur les informations fournies par le journal du comte Franz E. Pötting : routine des entretiens quotidiens et soirées au théâtre, dominé par le génie de Calderón
