Descripción
Sumario:This work is born from the conception of a double approach: to investigate the contributions of the judicial source to social history on the one hand, and to shed some light on the life of slaves in Cordoba in the eighteenth century on the other. The objectives of this article are focused on trying to make an interweaving between the Hispanic legislation regarding the treatment and the economy of the correction of slaves in the domains of the colonial empire, and the judicial practices that in fact were framed in the Cordovan context of the late eighteenth century. In the development of this work we will try to identify the existence of a daily and private violence that was part of the disciplinary actions of the slave masters, and to see the particular performance of society and the administrative apparatus in these situations. On the other hand, we will try to demonstrate the need to broaden the view of the regulations of the colonial social order to the spheres more peripheral to the legal order.
