The Portuguese Restoration of 1640 and Its Global Visualization
The Portuguese Restoration of 1640 ended the dynastic union of Portugal and Spain. This book pioneers in reconstructing the global image discourse related to the event by bringing together visualizations from three decades and four continents. These include paintings, engravings, a statue, coins, emblems, miniatures, a miraculous crosier and other regalia, buildings, textiles, a castrum doloris, drawings, and ivory statues. Situated within the academic field of visual studies, the book interrogates the role of images and depictions before, during, and after the overthrow and how they functioned within the intercontinental communication processes in the Portuguese Empire. The results challenge the conventional notion of center and periphery and reveal unforeseen entanglements as well as an unexpected agency of imagery from the remotest regions under Portuguese control. The book breaks new ground in linking the field of early modern political iconography with transcultural art history and visual studies.
The Portuguese Revolution (1640-1668)

Society and Government in Colonial Brazil, 1500-1822
Professor Russell-Wood’s detailed studies of Brazilian social history in the colonial era have long been recognised as model contributions to the history of class, race, gender and religion. This collection combines work on particular persons and groupings with survey articles on the role of the port and the frontier in colonial Brazil and on its historiography. The author describes the administration and structure of government, and the realities of royal power, with examples drawn from the port cities and the mining townships of the interior, then moves on to examine the interplay of class, religion and race with reference to brotherhoods of persons of African descent and the racially ex...
Military Revolution and the Thirty Years War 1618–1648
Military Revolution and the Thirty Years War 1618–1648 investigates change and decline in military institutions during a period of protracted and destructive European warfare. Conceptual background is provided by the Military Revolution thesis, which argues that changes in military technology and tactics drove revolutionary transformation in the way states organised and waged war in the early modern era. This transformation of military institutions became evident during the long and destructive Thirty Years War in 1618–1648. The outcome of the Military Revolution was the centralised fiscal-military state that possessed a strong claim to the monopoly of violence within its territorial bou...

Por toda la tierra
Los trabajos aquí reunidos tratan sobre las relaciones hispano-lusas entre 1580 y 1700 bajo la mirada de la historia global. Naturalmente, podemos seguir leyendo el ciclo portugués de la Monarquía Hispánica con el lenguaje de la historia política, económica y social más o menos convencionales. Sin embargo, el enfoque mundialista también ayuda a reinterpretar la experiencia imperial hispánica. De hecho, los siglos XV a XVIII representaron la primera fase del proceso globalizador contemporáneo. Fue entonces cuando se establecieron sus tres rasgos decisivos: la conexión planetaria consciente e irreversible; la progresiva integración económica, a veces tan dramática, con sus desigu...
