Grenzen - Kulturhistorische Annäherungen
Con autorización de la editorial para este libro.Grenzen haben wieder Konjunktur trotz Globalisierung und Vernetzung. Seit jeher bergen sie die Ambivalenz von Anziehung und Abstoßung, von Trennung und Überschreitung in sich. Doch wie werden und wurden Grenzen konstruiert und gedacht? Welche sozialen, politischen und kulturellen Auswirkungen haben sie?
Im vorliegenden Band beschäftigen sich AutorInnen aus geschichts- sowie kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive mit unterschiedlichen Phänomenen von Grenzen und Grenzziehungsprozessen vom 16. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert. Thematisiert werden Konstruktionen und Imaginationen von Souveränität und Identität, Nation Building, Grenzräume als interkulturelle und ökonomische Kontaktzonen im Spannungsfeld von Zentrum und Peripherie, spezifische Funktionen von Grenzräumen sowie die Rolle und Situation von Grenzbevölkerungen. Die Fallbeispiele stammen aus Europa, den Amerikas und den Philippinen und beschäftigen sich auch mit der Symbolik von Grenzen in Film, Computerspielen und Architektur.Eberhard Crailsheim: Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist Teil eines Projekts, das vom Horizon 2020

Les marchands français à Séville (1580-1650) : les exemples de Pedro de la Farxa, Lanfran David et Pedro de Alogue
Au centre du réseau marchand qui traverse l’Atlantique et relie les régions américaines à celles de l’Europe, se trouvent la ville de Séville et l’Andalousie occidentale. À partir de la fin du xve siècle, cette ville a joué le rôle de centre administratif, institutionnel et surtout commercial. Bien que les recherches sur le rôle de Séville dans le commerce avec l’Amérique soient étendues, sa fonction pour le négoce européen n’est pas tellement connue. Il est frappant que le commerce français ..
Extranjeros entre dos mundos: una aproximación proporcional a las colonias de mercaderes extranjeros en Sevilla, 1570–1650
This paper analyzes the foreign presence in the commerce of Seville during
the Golden Age of Spain. As a hub between Europe and America, the city attracted
a considerable number of foreigners who participated in the commerce with both
continents. In the majority of cases, their role was seen as negative by the Spanish
observers, as they allegedly were in charge of almost 90 percent of the Indies trade. This
article examines several sources to ascertain the proportions between the different
foreign nations, as well as the relations between Spaniards and foreigners among the
richest merchants of the city. Documents from the notaries of Seville prove to be most
relevant, as well as tax lists of merchants. First, the period between 1570 and 1650
is considered as a whole to differentiate the foreigners from various regions of Europe.
Second, the scrutiny of sample years gives information of the changes that occurred
during the time of consideration. And third, the analysis of various tax lists offers a picture
of the proportions between Spaniards and foreigners in the American and European
commerce of the cit
Seville and Manila: Illegal trade, corruption, and the phenomenon of trust in the Spanish Empire
At the beginning of the early modern period, the two port cities of Seville and Manila became bottlenecks in the rich inter-oceanic trade connecting Europe, America and Asia. To control this trade, the Spanish Crown tightly regulated all traffic between these continents and levied heavy taxes on all merchandise. The stricter the regulations became, the more the merchants tried to outwit them through contraband trading and bribery. Within this setting, it was often impossible for merchants to bring cases of non-compliance of agreements to the official courts. Hence, the question arises, how were merchants, lacking an institution in charge of penalizing dishonest commercial conduct, able to find the trust in partners to establish trans-oceanic trading networks? This note argues that the answer lies in the common ground that united certain groups of shared mental models, which enabled the merchants to trust in the social coercive power of these groups and consequently to trust their partners overseas.This investigation is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No653508 (Phil-Threats
