Models of life and culture in early modern Navarre
The main models of life and culture in the evolution of society and the cultural imaginary in early modern Navarre (16th-18th centuries) will be studied. It will analyse the fundamental characteristics of groups, estates and figures core topic of Navarrese history and culture, both in the sphere of the community itself and in its international projection.
In the last two decades, the research in the field of Humanities has made an important leap towards multidisciplinarity and partnership. Moreover, this work, carried out from a cultural perspective, has opened up numerous avenues and perspectives for work when it comes to understanding the defining features of a society in the past and their effects on the present. This can be seen not only in the material realities that have been preserved through literature or art, but also in the behaviour that still survives or is remembered today.
For this reason, Navarre is a magnificent platform for its knowledge and for the understanding of a whole set of facts, attitudes and evolution not only from a local perspective, but also in the context of the European society of Modernity. To this end, it has the necessary elements (artistic, literary, philological, historical) thanks to the preservation of an important artistic, book and archive heritage, a fundamental basis for the humanistic research and for the project proposed here.
On the other hand, a research of such dimensions needs to be disseminated as widely as possible, not only among specialists, but also among a broad public interested in cultural aspects. To this end, we have important tools at our disposal, in what is known as "Humanities Digitales", an area in which the group de research Siglo de Oro (GRISO) of the University of Navarra has been a pioneer in Spain, as demonstrated by the organisation of an international congress on the topic, as well as the very structure for the dissemination of the results of the research team.
The present project proposes as results a series of publications on the general topic of project "Models of life and culture in early modern Navarre" through different means of dissemination: books, digital publications, articles in scientific publications, blog entries and video. knowledge dissemination The results will also be presented at academic congresses and at conferences in Navarre.
Objectives
To examine the most significant models of life and culture in the evolution of Navarrese society and cultural imaginary between the 16th and 18th centuries.
The research will focus on the models selected as basic, which offer both social and individual dimensions and which constitute nuclear models, capable of illuminating the historical process with which modernity began and which leads up to the present day. The following models and figures will be analysed.
-
goal Models of power and authority, courtly and political : viceroys, civil servants, local nobility and models of courtly culture in modern Navarre. The saint's model : Francis Xavier and missionary globalisation. The moral and religious writer and the work of Malón de Echaide. An enlightened bishop: Martínez Compañón.
-
goal Intellectual and scientific models. The master Azpilcueta and Jerónimo de Ayanz. Artistic and literary models. The figure of the conquistador: Pedro de Ursúa. Models and anti-models in everyday and popular behaviour: attitudes towards violence, feelings, beliefs or uses of language.
-
goal Disseminate the results of research at different levels: printed publications, electronic publications, Internet networks, videos, conferences and presentations at various congresses.
Aspects
innovative
The project will attempt to examine the presence and projection of Navarrese personalities in universal culture, in an organised manner and from a mixed perspective of "recovery of a cultural heritage" and specific analysis of documents and texts that have so far received little attention. It will also attempt to outline a necessarily partial but systematic panorama, highlighting a series of stories and cultural models capable of teaching useful lessons for the present day. The application of digital technologies (publishing and dissemination) represents an important advance in innovation in relation to traditional media, which will also be taken into account.
In short, the innovative aspects refer to the recovery of models and images - to date little studied - and to the mechanisms of projection for the public, which will be organised in digital form using the means available to the team and those developed by the same project.
