Resumen del Libro

Libro Rischio, catastrofe e gestione dell’emergenza nel Mediterraneo occidentale e in Ispanoamerica in età moderna : omaggio a Jean-Philippe Luis

[Italiano]: Il libro è il primo risultato di un progetto di ricerca interdisciplinare e internazionale sui disastri di origine naturale verificatisi nei territori governati dalle monarchie borboniche tra il XVIII secolo e l’inizio del XIX. I dodici saggi che lo compongono esplorano le strategie e le pratiche attraverso cui istituzioni e società cercarono di gestire, mitigare e prevenire gli effetti catastrofici di eruzioni, terremoti, inondazioni, carestie ed epidemie, in territori geograficamente lontani e diversi tra loro – dal Mediterraneo occidentale all’America centrale e meridionale – tra l’età dei Lumi e quella delle Rivoluzioni. Sebbene queste aree fossero governate da membri della stessa dinastia, l’organizzazione politico-amministrativa e i sistemi giuridici erano differenti e diverse erano anche le strategie di gestione dell’emergenza. Il progetto ha coinvolto tre gruppi di ricerca, incardinati in Università europee e ispano-americane, coordinati da Jean-Philippe Luis, Armando Alberola e Domenico Cecere. Il volume è dedicato alla memoria di Jean-Philippe Luis. / [English]: The volume includes a significant part of the findings of an interdisciplinary and international research project on disasters that occurred in the territories under the Bourbon monarchies between the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is composed of twelve essays that explore the strategies and practices by which institutions and societies sought to manage, mitigate and prevent the catastrophic effects of eruptions, earthquakes, floods, famine and epidemics. The articles address several territories, that are geographically distant and widely different from each other – from the western Mediterranean to Central and South America – between the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions. Although these areas were ruled by members of the same dynasty, the political and administrative structures and legal systems were different, and the emergency management strategies were dissimilar too. The project involved three research groups, based in European and Latin American universities, coordinated by Jean-Philippe Luis, Armando Alberola and Domenico Cecere. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Jean-Philippe Luis.

Las cicatrices de la independencia

La idea que nos ha sido legada de la independencia de Estados Unidos es la de una rebelión contenida, justa y sujeta a unos cauces ordenados, protagonizada por patriotas en defensa de sus nobles ideales frente a un imperio opresor que gozaba del monopolio de la violencia, un relato inspirador y estimulante que los fundadores hicieron todo lo posible por alimentar tras la guerra. Sin embargo, como el historiador Holger Hoock muestra en esta exhaustivamente documentada y bellamente escrita crónica del nacimiento de los Estados Unidos, la revolución no fue únicamente una batalla en la que...
