Summary
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).
