Moral y virtud, senderos que se bifurcan. Virreinato de Nueva Granada 1770-1808
A través de una historia conceptual de la moral y la virtud centrada en el virreinato de la Nueva Granada, el artículo caracteriza el fundamento del denso entramado teológico-político de la monarquía hispana. El artículo constata el carácter medular y difuso de la moral e identifica tres núcleos conceptuales del entramado moral: la costumbre, la doctrina de lo lícito e ilícito y la facultad de los individuos para llevar a cabo una vida recta. Ide…
Hilda Sabato
Hilda Sabato is a referent of Hispano-American historiography. As a result of the launching of the first volume of the editorial project Historias de lo político en Colombia: imaginando repúblicas en tiempos de independencia, 1780-1852 (Bogotá: Universidad Nacional de Colombia; Universidad del Rosario, 2024), we took advantage of Hilda Sabato's presence in Bogotá to talk with her about the familial, political and intellectual context of her forma…
La producción historiográfica en Colombia en torno a la revolución y las independencias en las dos últimas décadas (2004-2024)
Colombia ha vivido, en la última década, dos ciclos conmemorativos en torno a la independencia (1810-2010; 1819-21-2019-21). La producción historiográfica sobre la Independencia y la revolución en Colombia ha pasado por un importante proceso de renovación, haciendo el salto desde la historia económica y social –que no tenía las herramientas para percibir y explicar la importancia de las vastas transformaciones políticas y culturales del periodo– …
El lenguaje de la secularización en América Latina. Contribuciones para un léxico
Este volumen es producto de una confluencia de experiencias historiográficas heterogéneas, forjadas en la práctica de la historia política, la historia religiosa y la historia conceptual desde diversos puntos de la geografía latinoamericana y reunidas en el grupo de trabajo, Religión y política, de la red Iberconceptos de historia conceptual comparada. Ofrece un acercamiento a la forma en que la producción histórica de campos diferenciados para l…
Caesarism in the Post-Revolutionary Age
Debates about the legitimacy and ‘essence’ of political rule and the search for ‘ideal’ forms of government have been at the very heart of political thought ever since antiquity. Caesarism in the Post-Revolutionary Age explores the complex relationship between democracy and dictatorship from the 18th century onwards. More concretely, it assesses how democracy emerged as something compatible with dictatorship, both at the level of political though…
The Conceptual History of Independence and the Colonial Question in Spanish America
The idea that Spanish American countries experienced colonialism was well accepted for most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The independence movements in the early nineteenth century were viewed as the result of struggles by oppressed nations against the metropole's tyranny. Recent historiography views the collapse of the monarchy as the result of the political and legal crisis brought about by the Napoleonic invasion and the illegal a…

Para aquellos otros (historiadores, filósofos, sociólogos, críticos literarios, etc.), que han empezado a mostrar inter…

Michel de Certeau y las ciencias sociales
La obra de Michel de Certeau se puede comprender a partir de tres ejes de reflexión fundamentales que aparecen en toda su obra. Estos la recorren de principio a fin, se manifiestan en su reflexión teológica, su interpretación histórica, su trabajo sociológico, su antropología política o en sus reflexiones de carácter psicoanalítico. En primer lugar, Certeau muestra una recurrente preocupación por los lugares y modos de producción del saber. En se…
Precarious Time, Morality, and the Republic
Spanish American countries exhibited during the nineteenth century many of the features Koselleck associated with the Sattelzeit, the transitioning period into our contemporaneity. However, the region's history was marked by social instability and political upheaval, and contemporaries referred to such experiences of time as precarious. In this article I explore the connection between this precarious time and the emergence of the sociopolitical c…
Ariadne’s Thread
A sense of optimism prevailed among broad sectors of revolutionaries during the period of the first republic (1810–1816) in New Granada, present-day Colombia. It was an optimism that saw in the concept of constitution a key to navigating the new political, social, cultural, and economic uncertainties and that found expression in the drafting and implementation of at least 16 constitutions during the first five years (1810–1815) of republican life…
La publicidad ilustrada y el concepto de opinión pública en la Nueva Granada
This paper explores the emergence of the phrase” public opinion “in New Granada during the period of the imperial political crisis between 1809 and 1810 and argues that it soon acquires the quality of basic socio-political concept, it is, corresponding to the advent, precar- ious and unequal of a local political modernity. However, since the issue seems so sudden and without foundation in the local political culture, the article follows the seman…
Tomen lo bueno, dejen lo malo
This article examines the work of the Caracas-born philosopher, Simón Rodríguez (1771-1854), with respect to the role that popular education should play in the new nations of the Americas. Rodríguez, like many of the new Creole elite, had rapidly understood that one of the main challenges facing the new states was the absence of a citizenry who could enliven civic and political life. Although popular education had already been extensively address…

Catastrophe, ambivalent praises, and liminal figurations in Pedro de Oña's temblor de Lima de 1609
Trauma and Narrative in Early Modernity
My reading of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega moves between the historical possibilities of inscription delimited by the two quotations taken from Theodor Adorno and Raul Porras Barrenechea. In the first quote, Adorno speaks of the essentially incomprehensible character of pain. Porras Barrenechea, on the other hand, acknowledges a productive quality to suffering in relation to a political body. While Adorno articulates a mostly—but not solely—twentiet…
