Matrimonial conflict under control. The intermediation of the community as an agent for the resolution of disputes between married couples (Seville, s.XVIII)
Disciplines

Abstract

Texts of communications defended at the 13th Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Foundation of Modern History, following a peer-blind evaluation. This communication draws attention to the mechanisms for settling disputes between spouses during the 16th century, focusing our attention on the intermediation of government officials (ecclesiastical and secular), family members and other parties involved. Daily discord, gender-based violence, infidelity or economic affairs lie behind much of modern marriage clashes, a destabilising situation that is intended to be eradicated by all spectators. Through its intervention to achieve marital peace, the community actively cooperates in the resumption of the relationship and cohabitation (if it has previously broken down), before or after the commencement of the divorce proceedings. The thematic choice made allows us to enter an area of everyday life in Seville that goes beyond what is purely marital: the success of cohabitation is a necessary element for the bankruptcy of families, the neighbourhood, and society as a whole. As a source of information for this proposal, the separation files kept in the General Archive of the Arzobispado of Seville have been used, which offer a very rich prospect of the Andalusian matrimonial conflict.
