Abstract

HAUSSER, Christian  and  PIETSCHMANN, Horst. Los imperios ibéricos de la época moderna: Tendencias historiográficas recientes. Travesía (San Miguel de Tucumán) [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.1, pp.31-53. ISSN 2314-2707.

The article studies the more recent historiography about the Spanish and Portuguese empires. It identifies several types of interpretations and the use of "empire" as a concept in different contexts, academic traditions and epochs. In doing so, it points to the achievements made and to the gaps that still exist, especially in the context of Renaissance humanism. It is the article's goal to facilitate a dialogue between academics about a topic that in the last decade or so has revealed crucial for the study of Ibero-American as well as for European history.

Keywords : Spain; Portugal; Empire; Early Modern History; Concept; Historiography.
