Resumen

  • español

    Este primer volumen busca construir una mirada sintética y comprensiva de las principales tensiones que estructuraron la vida política, entendida de forma amplia, de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. La emergencia de un orden republicano a principios del siglo XIX, tras el colapso de la monarquía española, supuso una transformación vertiginosa, inédita y radical. Los años que siguieron pusieron en el centro de las comunidades del antiguo virreinato un conjunto de retos colectivos cuyas soluciones no estaban en el repertorio de experiencias locales ni podían ser anticipadas. La primera mitad del siglo XIX estuvo marcada por una intensa experiencia de lo político, muy alejada de la antigua representación de las revoluciones hispanoamericanas como transformaciones meramente nominales, calco de otras revoluciones —la francesa o la norteamericana—, o resultado de su influencia. La emergencia de la república dio paso a la forja de nuevos y múltiples actores y su institución abrió un escenario de negociaciones contenciosas, difíciles e impredecibles.

    Histories of the Political is a five-volume intellectual and editorial project that seeks to produce a new history of our republican life. It takes up the legacy of the efforts of other historians and responds to the need for new public narratives that critically gather the growing bibliographic production. The replacement of the singular (history) with the plural (histories)—humbler and less definitive—recognizes that the catalog of readings of a period is multiple and contentious and that the layers of human experience are immeasurable and impossible to grasp in their totality. This history resists being told from a single perspective and in a single tone. Therefore, it offers a plurality of histories and the experience of a wide range of actors in different scenarios and temporalities organized around seven problematic nodes. In this way, the political does not offer a totalizing or universal view; however, it does not entail a renunciation of a comprehensive narrative either. This account bets on an overall view and transcends casuistry.

    This first volume seeks to construct a synthetic and comprehensive view of the main tensions that structured political life—broadly understood—in the first half of the nineteenth century. The emergence of a republican order at the beginning of the nineteenth century, after the collapse of the Spanish monarchy, was a vertiginous, unprecedented, and radical transformation. The years that followed placed at the center of the communities of the former viceroyalty a set of collective challenges whose solutions were not in the repertoire of local experiences and could not be anticipated. The first half of the nineteenth century was marked by an intense political experience far removed from the old representation of the Spanish-American revolutions as merely nominal transformations, a copy of other revolutions—the French or the American—or the result of their influence. The emergence of the republic gave way to the forging of new and multiple actors, and its institution opened up a scenario of negotiations.
