Familias: normas, conflictos y cambios sociales (s. XIV-XX)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

XXXVII Seminario de Historia Econ\u00f3mica y Social<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girona,  2-3 julio 2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde algunas posiciones historiogr\u00e1ficas se ha otorgado a las estructuras familiares un gran protagonismo como factor de cambio social y econ\u00f3mico. A partir de las hip\u00f3tesis planteadas inicialmente por Hajnal (1965), se ha sostenido que el European Marriage Pattern (EMP) habr\u00eda favorecido una mayor inserci\u00f3n de las familias en los mercados, especialmente mediante la movilizaci\u00f3n del trabajo femenino, as\u00ed como mayores posibilidades de acumulaci\u00f3n de capital humano. Por el contrario, la familia troncal, de larga tradici\u00f3n en muchas regiones, habr\u00eda sido considerada, desde esta perspectiva, una r\u00e9mora para aquellos cambios sociales capaces de impulsar el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estas interpretaciones, sin embargo, chocan con la experiencia hist\u00f3rica de regiones como Catalu\u00f1a, donde la prevalencia de la familia troncal en la sociedad rural se habr\u00eda mantenido en un contexto de notable desarrollo econ\u00f3mico durante los siglos XVIII y XIX. A nuestro parecer, se ha minusvalorado, impl\u00edcita o expl\u00edcitamente, la plasticidad de la familia troncal ante los cambios sociales y econ\u00f3micos, as\u00ed como su capacidad para modificar o transgredir aspectos b\u00e1sicos de las reglas consuetudinarias en respuesta a dichos cambios. Por ello, resulta necesario explorar con mayor detalle los cambios en las estructuras familiares y en las normas que las regulaban, poniendo especial \u00e9nfasis en la capacidad de negociaci\u00f3n de sus miembros y, en particular, en el posible empoderamiento de las mujeres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invitamos a presentar propuestas de intervenci\u00f3n en el XXXVII Seminari d\u2019Hist\u00f2ria Econ\u00f2mica i Social<\/em><\/strong> de la Universitat de Girona que aborden estas cuestiones en distintos contextos geogr\u00e1ficos, desde una perspectiva hist\u00f3rica y a partir de documentaci\u00f3n de archivo. Interesan especialmente aquellos enfoques que pongan \u00e9nfasis en el dinamismo de las reglas que reg\u00edan la constituci\u00f3n de las familias \u2013reflejadas, con frecuencia en las cl\u00e1usulas de los contratos matrimoniales\u2013, el papel de los conflictos intrafamiliares en dicha flexibilidad y la capacidad de negociaci\u00f3n de los distintos actores. Asimismo, son de inter\u00e9s las aportaciones que analicen la dote como indicador de desigualdades sociales y el peso de los ahorros procedentes de soldadas \u2013pagos salariales\u2013 en la conformaci\u00f3n de dichas dotes, con sus implicaciones en t\u00e9rminos de capacidad de agencia femenina. Por \u00faltimo, tambi\u00e9n interesan los an\u00e1lisis que conjuguen las trasformaciones en las estructuras familiares y las pr\u00e1cticas sucesorias de los distintos grupos sociales con procesos m\u00e1s amplios de cambio social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los interesados pueden presentar una propuesta de intervenci\u00f3n a rosa.congost@udg.edu<\/a>. Plazo: 15 marzo 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families: Norms, Conflicts, and Social Change (14th\u201320th Centuries)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

XXXVII Seminar on Economic and Social History<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girona, July 2\u20133, 2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some historiographical positions have given family structures a prominent role as a factor of social and economic change. Based on the hypotheses initially proposed by Hajnal (1965), it has been argued that the European Marriage Pattern (EMP) would have favoured greater integration of families into markets, especially through the mobilization of female labour, as well as greater opportunities for human capital accumulation. By contrast, the stem family, with a long tradition in many regions, has been considered, from this perspective, an impediment to those social changes capable of driving economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These interpretations, however, clash with the historical experience of regions such as Catalonia, where the prevalence of the stem family in rural society appears to have persisted in a context of notable economic development during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In our view, the plasticity of the stem family in the face of social and economic change, as well as its ability to modify or transgress basic aspects of customary rules in response to such changes, has been implicitly or explicitly underestimated. It is therefore necessary to explore in greater detail the changes in family structures and in the norms that regulated them, placing particular emphasis on the bargaining capacity of their members and, in particular, on the possible empowerment of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite proposals for oral presentations for the XXXVII Seminar on Economic and Social History <\/em><\/strong>at the University of Girona addressing these issues across different geographical contexts, from a historical perspective and based on archival sources. We particularly welcome contributions that emphasize the dynamism of the rules governing family formation\u2014often reflected in the clauses of marriage contracts\u2014the role of intrafamily conflict in shaping this flexibility, and the bargaining power of the different actors involved. Contributions examining the dowry as an indicator of social inequalities, as well as the role of savings derived from wages in the formation of dowries and their implications for women\u2019s agency, are also encouraged. Finally, we welcome analyses that link transformations in family structures and inheritance practices among different social groups to broader processes of social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
