Project description
The transatlantic impact of religious agents
The journeys of religious agents from Lima to the Vatican hold valuable insights, yet their impact remains unclear. Unlocking this historical mystery is crucial for understanding global relationships. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the Procuradores project aims to shed light on these agents’ roles through a collaborative investigation. Specifically, it will organise a multinational investigation across archives in Chile, Peru, Spain, and Rome. The project will explore the dynamics between the Spanish Crown, the Holy See, and Peru. By analysing these agents, it aims to unveil their roles. With institutions like Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad de Barcelona, Procuradores promises fresh insights into centuries-old connections.
Objective
The proposal aims at conducting a historical investigation of human mobility in local and global contexts through the case study of
religious agents (the procuradores) that moved across the Atlantic from the ecclesiastic province of Lima to the Holy See to represent
their communities’ political and religious interests. Atop of a growing body of secondary sources and thanks to a multinational and
multi-archival investigation (Chile, Peru, Spain, Vatican, Rome), the research brings together several disciplines – history, geography,
social sciences, and law studies, in dialogue with Atlantic studies and the network analysis, in order to develop three original aims.
First, it will offer a new understanding of the relationship among the Spanish Crown, the Holy See and the Viceroyalty of Peru. The
research will investigate who the procuradores of the cathedrals were. The proposal aims at identifying both the secular and religious
procuradores who crossed the Atlantic, traveling from the dioceses to Rome. It will identify their social, institutional, political and,
eventually, religious belonging and affiliation. I will study the type of information the procuradores transmitted to the Holy See and
how it was used to build the networks of political and religious relations with the Spanish Monarchy. Once the procuradores have
been identified, it will be possible to analyse the information that reached Rome from the Viceroy of Peru (and those that did not), its
processing in the Curia, its use in the government of the Church, and its use in political and diplomatic relations with the Spanish
Monarchy. I will study how the procuradores interacted with the city of Rome.
The project will be implemented in 3 different institutions: Pontificia Universidad Cattolica de Chile (outgoing phase), Universidad de
Barcelona (5-month secondment) and Ca'Foscari Venice (incoming phase).
