El discurso político en los cuerpos complejos de la monarquía castellana (s. XIII-XVIII). Narrativas de poder, comunicación y negociación

The present selection of articles aims to conclude the monographic dossier bout the complexity exhibited by political discourses in European society –most specifically in the case of Castilian political society– during Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Ages. Registered within a corporate vision, deeply hierarchical and organic, these structured systems of definition, identification, and communication that give meaning organize and legitimize the aggregate set of the network of actors that define the different bodies and corporations. Its analysis allows us to compose the different social markers that constitute it and grant it intelligibility. The papers that we are pleased to present here are undertaken in dialogue with those included in the first part of the dossier, dealing with players such as the monarchy, aristocratic and urban elites or urban and urban-rural commoners as well as with different settings for socio-political interaction such as the Court, the ‘Cortes’ – deliberative assemblies of the kingdom– or the communal self-government institutions.
