“Sepan quantos esta carta de procuraçion vieren…”: un análisis de la comunicación política y los sectores populares en Castilla bajomedieval a partir del caso de Alfonso Sánchez del Tiemblo

Abstract

The theoretical models contributed by the anthropologist Eric Wolf and the sociologist Charles Tilly to analyze the dynamics of political power, and its multiple forms of representation; are useful for studying the circuits of political communication of the popular sectors in late medieval Castile. Both provide methodological tools to decipher socio-political logics and to access the analysis of both what has been said and what has been silenced by the representatives of the base communities, in the context of the unstable balances of political power in the large royal councils of the period.
