Entre História e Dogmática
Frequentemente, a divisão romana entre direito público e direito privado é projetada em todos os períodos estudados na historiografia jurídica, desde o período colonial até a atualidade. Porém, essa distinção pode dificultar o estudo sobre as relações jurídicas com a terra, não só pela complexidade dessas relações, mas também porque essa divisão nem sempre é adequada para descrever o direito relativo a períodos anteriores ao século XIX, ou inclus…
Cómo Pensar La Tierra Y La Propiedad Más Allá De Las Dicotomías
Este artículo busca un lenguaje diferente, para repensar el problema del acceso a la tierra. En primer lugar, presentaré cómo el estudio de la tierra y la propiedad en el mundo ibérico ha solido recurrir a diferentes tipos de dicotomías. Las tres secciones que siguen pretenden presentar un marco referencial diferente, que intenta reorientar las formas de entender el acceso y la distribución de la tierra, pensando la regulación y las normas a part…
Norms beyond Empire
Norms beyond Empire seeks to rethink the relationship between law and empire by emphasizing the role of local normative production. While European imperialism is often viewed as being able to shape colonial law and government to its image, this volume argues that early modern empires could never monolithically control how these processes unfolded. Examining the Iberian empires in Asia, it seeks to look at norms as a means of escaping the often to…
Decentering Law and Empire
The Iberian empires in Asia set in motion a profound process of normative production and change. Whether it was in defining the relations between imperial polities, regulating social and religious life, establishing commercial treaties, organizing imperial or interstitial jurisdictions, or defining how inhabitants would be ruled, the presence of the Crowns of Portugal and Castile in Asia triggered an immediate need for regulation, provoking shift…
La diversidad como paradoja. Los puntos ciegos del derecho y su reconstrucción histórica
historian observe that which law does not? By understanding diversity as paradox, I will argue that a constructivist category of diversity will allow the legal historian to move between legal and non-legal sources without losing from sight the specificity of legal observation

The normativity of possession. Rethinking land relations in early-modern Spanish America, ca. 1500–1800
Diversity as Paradox
The Lived Space
By looking into sales of indigenous land in the territory of Valdivia between 1790 and 1830, this article discusses how legal interactions were tied to the local spaces of rural habitation. Since ownership was linked with possession and use in Spanish colonial law, local social relations and shared local knowledge were crucial for determining legal ownership and ensuring the validity of land transfers. This article provides insights into how law …
Do controle à reforma social
This article focuses on the circulation of ideas on social policies in Latin America through the discussions in the Latin-American scientific congresses. The main argument is that, although Latin-American scholars relied on European narratives to frame the social problems that affected the region, the policy solutions they found were not based on the direct importation of foreign models. Either by emphasising criminality or the need for social re…
Rumour Propagation as a Form of Social Control. A Case from Dictatorial Chile
Rumour Propagation as a Form of Social Control. A Case from Dictatorial Chile The following article discusses the role of media and civilian organisations in downplaying the role of rumour propagation in the Chilean dictatorship. After outright repression failed to control popular unrest during the national protests that took place between 1983 and 1984, the military regime attempted to keep people inside their homes by playing on their fears and…
