Formas de la corporalidad en el pensamiento ilustrado entre España y América Latina
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-12-19) Morgan, Muriel; Sidy, Bettina; Vacca, Laura Celina
This work presents some insights around corporeality in the kingdoms of Spain during the Bourbon Reforms. These policies involved a substantial change in the government’s management, representation and handling of bodies. Intellectuals of the Spanish Enlightenment aimed to intervene on bodies to internalise an «ideal body type», tied to notions of robustness, skills, strength, manual labors and work discipline. We will focus on three paradigmatic intellectuals: Campomanes, Jovellanos and Cabarrús. Through specific mechanisms, tied to certain institutions, they proposed the interiorization of this prototype of ideal corporeality. We will argue that, from these authors point of view, mind and body had to be pragmatically nourished in order to mold useful citizens in terms of productivity.

Política, sociedad y religión en Arequipa: una mirada desde el laicado católico militante (1885- 1919)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-12-19) Iberico Ruiz, Rolando
The article analyzes the relationship between religion, society and politics from the perspective of militant Catholic laity in Arequipa. The study identifies two paradigms to understand this relationship influenced by the episcopal understanding of the socio-political context. The first paradigm was characterized by the desire to «Christianize» the country’s social and political institutions, that is, to monopolize the state institutions. The second paradigm, the Catholic societies sought to maintain the presence of Catholicism in society and politics by inter-vening in them. Through the public actions, the Catholic laity gave an implicit recognition of the emerging plurality of social and political options in Arequipa.
