Escuela de Verano en Historia Conceptual Modernidades iberoamericanas "Conceptos políticos y sociales"
El Colegio de México-México DF, 25 de julio al 5 de agosto de 2016
Organizan: Centro de Estudios Históricos-El Colegio de México, Centro de Historia Intelectual-Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Iberconceptos, Concepta. International Research School in Conceptual History and Political Thought, Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas-UNAM
Con el apoyo de: Universidad del País Vasco, Universidad de São Paulo, Università di Torino, Universidad Nacional de Colombia


Conformada por un grupo internacional de profesores especialistas en historia conceptual, la Escuela se propone analizar discursos, lenguajes y conceptos claves en la historia iberoamericana.
Los asistentes serán invitados a reflexionar sobre nuevas formas de pensar la historia y las ciencias sociales desde perspectivas descentradas de la nación y de los nacionalismos donde la modernidad iberoamericana es considerada desde una perspectiva atlántica, plurilinguistica y plurietnica.
El objetivo de la Escuela de Verano en Historia Conceptual consiste en introducir a los participantes en el estudio de ideas, lenguajes, conceptos, metaforas e imagenes que, en diferentes tiempos y espacios, articularon distintas formas de modernidad en Iberoamérica. La perspectiva adoptaba por los docentes de la Escuela pondrá especial énfasis en la temporalidad e historicidad de dichos lenguajes y conceptos.
En primer lugar, se desarrollarán las principales perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas en la historia conceptual (Begriffsgeschichte, Escuela de Cambridge, Historia conceptual de lo político).
En segundo lugar, se analizarán los usos de los lenguajes y de conceptos políticos y sociales en las lenguas europeas (español y portugués) y autóctonas de América a partir de las experiencias de Iberconceptos.
En tercer lugar, conferencistas invitados disertarán sobre nuevos enfoques historiográficos en Iberoamérica a partir de sus investigaciones en curso.
En cuarto lugar, se presentaran y comentarán en un formato de taller los proyectos de investigación y/o trabajos en proceso que presenten los participantes.
La Escuela se desarrollará durante diez días hábiles y su organización se basa en cursos, conferencias y un taller.
Con un perfil internacional, está dirigida tanto a estudiantes de posgrado (maestría y doctorado) de diversos países y distintas disciplinas académicas (Historia, Antropología, Ciencias Sociales y Políticas, Filosofía y otras Humanidades), como a profesores e investigadores interesados en la historia conceptual como herramienta heurística para sus trabajos.

The participation of the subaltern groups to the Spanish-American independent movements is at the centre of this article. Though historiography has always underestimated their contribution to the wars that liberated Spanish American territories from Spain, subaltern sectors (indigenous, free people of colour and slaves) played indeed a very important and active role during the this period. Not only they participated to the armies that defeated the Spanish, but they had significant political objectives to attain. Like the elites, they understood that the collapse of the Spanish monarchy had opened some possibilities of action, unimaginable before 1808. Wars implied de facto an improvement of the social and political conditions of popular groups: for the free coloureds meant the access of citizenship; for slaves, the acquisition of freedom; for the indigenous people, the defence of their lands.

The role played by free people of color in the colonial societies of the Atlantic world is at the centre of this essay. Their ambiguous status makes them a privileged group to study when examining the negotiation and formation of racial identity as well as the definition of citizenship requirements in colonial and post-colonial contexts. Through an analysis of the contributions made by recent studies, this article proposes an historiographical survey of the transformation of racial and social hierarchies and of the shaping of new citizenship rights during the age of revolutions.

By analyzing a number of trials concerning land disputes that took place between the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth, this essay examines how freemen of color accessed property in the Pacific lowlands along the frontier of the Spanish empire, stretching from modern-day Colombia to Ecuador. Characterized by alluvial gold fields, this region was home to a significant population of Africans – both enslaved and free – who had mixed with local indigenous groups, in contrast to the very small presence of whites and the colonial authority. The mines thus became a resource for slaves to acquire freedom and land. In this particular context, the African diaspora communities living in this region considered the appeal to justice for the acknowledgment of their property rights more of a strategy to achieve citizenship, rather than the beginning of a process of ethno-genesis.

Les travaux rassemblés dans ce volume décrivent de manière originale l'effrondement des empires atlantiques en Amérique et l'accession à la modernité politique des nouveaux États. Ils s'attachent à des thématiques variées comme l'esclavage et son abolition aux États-Unis, l'image d'Haïti, la complexe délimitation des frontières « nationales », le confédéralisme ou encore la construction de la légitimité au Brésil.

Il passaggio dell'America spagnola all'indipendenza non è semplicemente una guerra di liberazione coloniale. È un processo frammentato e complesso, contraddistinto da continuità e discontinuità, da violenze e vendette collettive, in cui le esperienze al di là e al di qua dell'Atlantico si influenzano a vicenda. È la prima dissoluzione di uno di quei grandi insiemi multicomunitari, i sistemi imperiali dell'età moderna, che nel corso dell'Otto e del Novecento daranno vita a una pluralità di stati nazionali. Restituendo centralità alla dimensione imperiale, il libro propone una nuova interpretazione dell'indipendenza e della nascita degli stati ispano-americani: le rivoluzioni politiche e sociali non sono la causa del crollo della monarchia spagnola, ma la sua conseguenza. Solo molto lentamente, attraverso violente guerre e continue negoziazioni, si andranno configurando quegli spazi attorno a cui si formeranno le nuove nazioni.

The Atlantic World between Modern and Contemporary History: Periodization, Boundaries and Key-Words. A Roundtable.
by discussing prevailing notions of periodization as well as its spatial, chronological, and thematic contours. First, while the Atlantic history paradigm implies a reconsideration of the traditional partition between early modern and late modern history, works in this field by and large focus on the early modern period. Second, the issue of periodization raises other questions, like the relation between the Atlantic and the global. Third, the focus on a «longer Atlantic», encompassing the 19th century implies, among other things, a re-assessment of the relation between Atlantic history and the history of political ideas and institutions. Finally, Atlantic history came to the fore mostly in the Anglo-Saxon world, also as a reaction to historiographical traditions marked by exceptionalism, but until today its impact in continental and especially Mediterranean Europe has been quite limited.
