QUIJANO, Francisco. Thinking the political community in 16th century New Spain. A work program in intellectual history. Sig. his [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.39, pp.24-49.  Epub Aug 03, 2020. ISSN 1665-4420.

In this programmatical article on intellectual history, I propose to study how the political community was conceived in 16th century New Spain, particularly in two of its forms: the city and the realm. The work program consists of an assessment of the historiography on the subject, a methodological strategy that recovers some assumptions from the so-called history of political languages and a description of the sources that could be used in the research.

Keywords : city; realm; monarchy; political thought; political languages.
