Abstract The present thesis focuses on the most important Spanish utopian writings of the 'long' eighteenth century, setting them in historical context within the tradition formally inaugurated by Thomas More's Utopia (1516). The works studied comprise the undated, anonymous Descripción de la Sinapia, península en la tierra austral, Gutierre Vaca de Guzmán's Suplemento de los viajes de Enrique Wanton al país de las monas, the anonymous 'Monarquía de los Ayparchontes' in the periodical El Censor, Andrés Merino's Monarquía columbina and Pablo de Olavide's 'Cartas de Mariano a Antonio' in El Evangelio en triunfo. The five texts have hitherto received varying degrees of academic attention, but less analysis than merited of their place within an ongoing, transatlantic, cultural tradition. Part I sets out historically the main ideological, literary and social characteristics of the genre: the theoretical conceptualisations of utopian writing as initiated by More, the foundations of the utopian tradition in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Hispanic world, and links between the utopian format and socially reformist texts in eighteenth-century Spain. Part II examines in detail the five chosen texts, exploring their differentiating features with respect to the prevailing utopian tradition and demonstrating their distinctiveness in relation to Spanish economic, political, religious and social structures, while probing their idealising strands on a spectrum stretching from reformism to utopian experimentalism. The analyses ultimately reveal great variety in the social focus of the texts and an eclectic approach to the salient features of the utopian generic tradition, as well as the widely contrasting links to Enlightenment ideals and thought.

However, utopian desire goes beyond being a mere mental concept and first crystallised as a fictional narrative when the English humanist Thomas More wrote his foundational work Utopia in 1516. Building on the Morean model, a utopian tradition subsequently flourished in Europe, but compelling utopian fictions were not written in Spain until the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This late manifestation of Spanish utopian writing can be seen to parallel the reformist spirit that characterised the political and cultural life of the Enlightenment era. It is in this context that the present thesis aims to set out new analyses of the most outstanding utopian works of the 'long' eighteenth century in Spain,1 a neglected area of study when compared with the scholarly interest in utopian narratives elsewhere in Europe during the same period. What is more, recent academic research, principally in the last forty years, has brought to light new texts relating to the utopian tradition — like the anonymous Sinapia or Andrés Merino's Monarquía columbina — and found references to lost works, such as José de Cadalso's Observaciones de un oficial holandés en el nuevamente descubierto reino de Feliztá.2 Scholarly surveys have also underscored the existence of utopian material in Spanish works belonging to other generic forms such as novels or in texts constituting narrative episodes published in contemporary periodicals.3 Seeking to contribute new perspectives to the existing field of utopian texts, the present thesis will analyse five works that are illustrative of these heterogeneous forms of textual expression. The texts have been chosen on the one hand because of their literary import — that is to say, their relationship to a literary tradition of utopian writing in Spain as well as in the rest of Europe — and on the other hand because of their links to reformist socio-political writings designed to contribute to the debate in Spain about society and its structures and practices. The five texts are also significant because of their variety and complexity, in that they highlight different features of the 1 By 'long' eighteenth century I understand the period between circa 1675 and 1808. 2 See José de Cadalso, Escritos autobiográficos y epistolario, ed. by Nigel Glendinning and Nicole Harrison (London: Tamesis, 1979). 3 Pedro Álvarez de Miranda, 'Sobre utopías y viajes imaginarios en el siglo XVIII español', in Homenaje a Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, ed. by Víctor García de la Concha (Salamanca: Biblioteca de la Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Salamanca, 1981); Elena de Lorenzo Álvarez, 'Literatura de viajes y utopías', in Literatura española del siglo XVIII, ed. by Alberto Romero Ferrer and Joaquín Álvarez Barrientos (Madrid: Liceus, 2005), pp. 1-21, <http://www.liceus.com>. 2 utopian tradition and display the experimental vision of their authors in setting their ideas within a utopian framework. The objective in grouping these writings together is to offer a fresh approach to the history of the Spanish utopian genre in the 'long' eighteenth century, one that takes into account the ideological and stylistic interplay between the selected texts and explores how each of them establishes a dialogue with literary utopianism as a genre. The works to be studied in detail, and in chronological sequence, are fictitious accounts of ideal societies and their corresponding social, political, economic and religious institutions. The first is the Descripción de la Sinapia, península en la tierra austral, 4 one of the most recently discovered texts that, although undated, may justifiably be included within the framework of the 'long' eighteenth century, as will be explained below. The second text is Gutierre Joaquín Vaca de Guzmán's Suplemento de los viajes de Enrique Wanton al país de las monas (1771),5 an extensive two-volume sequel composed by a Spanish author to an existing Italian work, and which can be read independently of the stimulus text, namely Zaccaria Seriman's Viaggi di Enrico Wanton alle terre incognite australi ed ai regni delle scimmie e dei cinocefali (1749- 64). The third work to be analysed is what can appropriately be called the 'Monarquía de los Ayparchontes' (1784-85), an anonymous utopian text that appeared in three instalments in the critical periodical El Censor.6 The fourth work in the corpus is Andrés Merino de Jesucristo's Monarquía columbina (pre-1787), 7 published 4 Descripción de la Sinapia, península en la tierra austral, in 'Sinapia': una utopía española del Siglo de las Luces, ed. by Miguel Avilés Fernández (Madrid: Editora Nacional, 1976), pp. 67-134. 5 [Gutierre] Joaquín [Vaca] de Guzmán y Manrique, Suplemento, o sea tomo tercero [–cuarto y último] de los viajes de Enrique Wanton al país de las monas (Madrid: Antonio de Sancha, 1778). Detailed bibliographical study has not been made of the text, but the first edition of the Suplemento is almost certainly that of 1771, since copies of volume 4 with that date are known to exist, though none have so far been located of volume 3. No copies of the 1771 edition of volumes 3 and 4 are available online. 6 The text itself is untitled with each of the three sections included in separate issues of the periodical. The society depicted is more than once referred to as a monarquía and therefore I will use the more appropriate title of 'Monarquía de los Ayparchontes'. Recent critics have expressly incorporated the word 'utopía' into the title without carefully considering what was in accord with the original author's concept of the text.

Through an analysis of the historical origins and changing meanings of “ilustrado” in Philippine literary and nationalist discourse, this article looks at the politics of reading and writing that have shaped international and domestic reception of the novel. While the novel seeks to resignify the hitherto class- bound concept of “ilustrado” to include Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), historical and contemporary usages of the term present conceptual and practical difficulties and challenges that require a new intellectual paradigm for understanding Philippine society.

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • Reception and Reaction to French Enlightenment and Revolution in Late Colonial/Early Independent Spanish America: New Granada, Peru and Venezuela 1790-1812
    Reception and Reaction to French Enlightenment and Revolution in late colonial/early independent Spanish America: New Granada, Peru and Venezuela 1790-1812 Richard Wallace, BA. Dissertation submitted to the University of Nottingham for the Degree of Master of Research September 2007 1 Abstract This dissertation explores the reception of French Enlightenment thought and the reaction to French revolutionary events in late colonial and early independent Spanish America between 1790 and 1812, focusing on New Granada, Peru and Venezuela. The years leading up to the historical and political processes known as Spanish American Independence witnessed radical transformations; during this period accepted wisdom was questioned, new discoveries were made and questions of political rights were open to debate. This dissertation, through a close reading of the contemporary periodical press and early discourses of Simón Bolívar, assesses the dissemination of the French Enlightenment and news of the ‘Age of Revolution’ in colonial society. The initial rejection of Revolutionary events is examined in the Papel Periódico de Bogotá , whilst the Mercurio Peruano charts scientific discovery through the 1790s. Following the Napoleonic invasion of the Iberian peninsula, 1808, the Gazeta de Caracas is studied to demonstrate the change in attitudes and cautious desire for autonomy. Finally, the early writings of Simón Bolívar are used to assess the compatibility and appropriation of Enlightenment thought and revolutionary models within colonial society. It will be shown that a public sphere did exist amongst a small, but highly educated, colonial elite in the 1790s, and that French Enlightenment ideas had been transmitted to Spanish America and were in circulation.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

Hernández-Sáenz Off. Hours Mon., Wed. 1:30-2:30 STH 2124 [email protected] The role played by the Iberian nations, often neglected by historians, was pivotal in the development of the Western world. The Iberian kingdoms were the first “modern” nations to expand and control overseas colonies across the Atlantic and to trade on a global scale, and their experiences are vital to the understanding of the leadership of Europe in the centuries to come. The conquest and colonization of previously unknown territories and peoples forced Europe to re-think its religious concepts, geographic knowledge and legal principles that were then adapted and imposed on the territories under its control. This course will examine the formation of Portugal, Spain and their American empires from the 14th century to the early 19th century. It will start with the consolidation of the Iberian kingdoms into two separate monarchies and the factors that paved the way for their early expansion into the Atlantic and conclude with the colonies’ attempts at independence. Students will analyze the numerous scientific, technological, geographic, political and economic factors that contributed to this expansion as well as its resulting consequences. Although the focus will be on the Spanish and Portuguese American colonies, the role of Spain and Portugal in European politics and economy and their African and Asian possessions will also be analyzed. The comparison of the various colonial experiences will contribute to an understanding of the global political, economic and scientific role played by the Iberian world.

    Anejos de DIECIOCHO 6 (Fall, 2020) 85 “PEJE ENTRE DOS AGUAS”: MESTIZO SUBJECTS IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY HISPANIC EMPIRE1 KAREN STOLLEY Emory University How might a discussion of eighteenth-century Ibero-American identity contribute to our thinking about “Enlightenment Identities,” the organizing theme of the 2019 meeting of the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, held in Edinburgh in July 2019? As the conference call for papers noted, the question of identity was much debated in the eighteenth century, “in ways ranging from the local, regional, colonial, national, federal, imperial, to the global.” Debates about identity in the eighteenth-century Ibero-American world were further shaped by notions of status and privilege that were grounded in a particular transatlantic historical context related to the evolution of Hispanic empire. Lived experience complicated enlightened philosophical thinking; practice complicated theory. Happily, scholars have come to appreciate the turn “from the theorized Enlightenment to the lived Enlightenment” (Astigarraga, López-Cordón and Urkia I:155).2 However, the specifics of how this turn plays out in Spain and its territories in the Americas are often overlooked in discussions of global Enlightenments, as readers of Dieciocho are well aware.3 This is my point of departure in this essay. The textual production of eighteenth-century Spanish America includes repeated references to mestizos —the mixed-blood sons and daughters of European-indigenous unions— that are often shockingly virulent critiques 1 This essay draws on a paper delivered at one of two sessions on Peripheral Identities in the Hispanic World at the meeting of the International Society for Eighteenth-Century studies (ISECS), Edinburgh, July 14-19, 2019.

Despite great strides in the field of Borderlands history in recent years the field surprisingly lacks studies on women in early Texas. My goal is to help fill that void by illustrating women’s roles during the construction of and transition between empire to republic. Past studies place women in an overall narrative that includes them as a minor element to colonial life in Texas. My study places women at the center of the narrative, uncovering the major contributions they made to the Spanish and Mexican frontier. In addition, I argue that Tejanas exerted a great deal of agency on the edge of Spanish and Mexican society. Using court records I show that Tejanas were active participants in the legal sphere of colonial life. These sources reveal that Tejanas exercised more economic and political freedom under Spanish and Mexican control then they did under the Republic of Texas.
