If the Middle Age was a time of local displacements, to relatively limited spaces, the Modern Age began precisely with the discovery of an unknown person in a distant new world. The man of the sixteenth century was a man in motion, in constant travel: the eagerness to discover and the thirst to access easily accessible riches brought him to America, crossing the ocean in walnut shells, recognizing themselves as adventurers and explorers. From a female gender perspective, this research will focus on considering
the consequences for women of the perpetual journey of the men with whom they were related. In general, it´s possible to notice three situations, one more frequent than the others: a few women ventured to leave Spain to move with their husbands; others, less numerous, did it alone, integrating small groups of embarked women. The majority, on the other hand, remained in their land, subjected to an arduous present, since neither married in practice, nor widows, did not have the power to be autonomous. In the colonial archives -the most significant being by corpus included and by digital accessibility the General Archive of the Indies, Seville, Spain- documents of a private nature are kept that illustrate the situations mentioned above. In this research, qualitative and based on the analysis of speeches, I have focused on a series of private letters, compiled by Enrique Otte and published digitally in the national Digital Library of Chile that bear witness to the experiences and representations of the “passage to the Indias” by married women. Si el medioevo fue tiempo de desplazamientos locales, a espacios relativamente acotados, la Edad Moderna se inicia justamente con el descubrimiento de un desconocido por distante nuevo mundo. El hombre del siglo XVI fue un hombre en movimiento, en viaje constante: el afán por descubrir y la sed por acceder a riquezas asequibles lo trajeron a América, cruzando el océano en cáscaras de nuez, reconociéndose como aventureros y exploradores. Desde una perspectiva de género femenino, este estudio se centrará en la consideración de las consecuencias que les significó a las mujeres el viaje perpetuo de los varones con los que estaban relacionadas. En general, es posible advertir tres situaciones, una de mayor frecuencia que las otras: unas cuantas mujeres se aventuraron a abandonar España para trasladarse acompañando a sus esposos; otras, menos numerosas, lo hicieron solas, integrando pequeños grupos de féminas embarcadas. La mayoría, en cambio, permaneció en su tierra, sometida a un presente arduo, ya que ni casadas en la práctica, ni viudas, no tenían potestad para ser autónomas. En los archivos coloniales -siendo el más significativo por corpus incluido y por accesibilidad digital el Archivo General de Indias, Sevilla, España- se guardan documentos de índole privada que ilustran las situaciones mencionadas más arriba. En esta investigación, cualitativa y basada en el análisis de discursos, me he centrado en una serie de cartas privadas, recopiladas por Enrique Otte y publicadas digitalmente en la Biblioteca Nacional digital de Chile que dan testimonio de las experiencias y representaciones del “paso a las Indias” por parte de mujeres casadas. |
