Godparenthood and the Council of Trent: crisis and transformation of a social institution (Italy, XV-XVII th centuries)

En las sociedades europeas de la época moderna, a través del bautismo se establecía un particular tipo de parentesco, el parentesco espiritual, que involucraba a los padrinos, las madrinas, los recién nacidos y los progenitores. Los lazos nacidos de este tipo de parentesco eran sobre todo de naturaleza horizontal y tenían una gran importancia, al ser utilizados por los padres de los menores para establecer redes de alianza social. Hasta el Concilio de Trento fue normal que en muchas partes de Italia y Europa los pequeños tuviesen un gran número de padrinos, cuya elección venía determinada por la puesta en práctica de estrategias sociales de una cierta complejidad. El Concilio puso fin a esta costumbre al establecer un máximo de un padrino y una madrina por menor, lo que significó la estandarización y la uniformización de la enorme variedad de modelos de padrinazgo existentes hasta entonces en el continente. Sin embargo, la imposición de un nuevo modelo de padrinazgo basado en la pareja generó una serie de resistencias en las poblaciones locales no estudiadas hasta el presente, además de propiciar una rápida verticalización de las relaciones sociales asociadas al mismo. En adelante, el padrinazgo contribuiría a fomentar y a reforzar en la las relaciones de patronazgo social de las elites sobre los demás grupos que formaban parte de la sociedad. Todas estas cuestiones se abordan a partir de lo sucedido en el norte de Italia entre los siglos XV y XVII, gracias al manejo de una amplia y extensa base documental

PRINT MEDIA ECONOMIC-POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IN PREACHING FOREST AND LAND FIRES IN SOUTH OF SUMATERA 2016

Print media coverage of land and forest fire control (karhutla) in the Daily Sumatera Ekspres, Sriwijaya Post and Koran Sindo discuss the reality that has been constructed in accordance with their interests. The three newspapers have their own news composition in discussing and constructing the reality of the forest fire control policy in South Sumatra. The difference arises in relation to business interests and political interests, these two interests are unable to avoid the three newspapers from partiality. The era of media capitalism makes mass media products, including news become commodities. This means that the discourse produced by the media is no longer focused on the interests of the audience as consumers, but discourse is directed at attracting market attention and obtaining economic benefits. Media idealism is increasingly eroded by the influence of the penetration of the ideology of capitalism. The ideology displayed by the mass media has an important influence in building views for certain goals to be achieved in its reporting

Pandemics and asymmetric shocks: evidence from the history of plague in Europe and the Mediterranean

The history of plague suggests that severe pandemics can have extremely important and potentially permanent asymmetric economic consequences. However, these consequences depend upon the initial conditions and could not be foretold a priori. To support this view, this short article illustrates the ability of major plagues to cause asymmetric shocks. The Black Death might have been at the origin of the Great Divergence between western Europe and East Asia, but also within Europe it had quite heterogeneous consequences. The last great European plagues of the seventeenth century favoured the rise of North Europe to the detriment of the South. Additionally, within Italy, they had a differential impact allowing for the rise of the Sabaudian State and contributing to the decline of the Republic of Venice. The article argues that the implication for today societies facing COVID-19 is that given that the final demographic and economic consequences of this pandemic are impossible to predict, collective answers to the crisis, possibly coordinated by the EU, are highly advisable
