TEMPERE, Delphine. Life Trajectories of the Crew of the Spanish Fleets in Early Globalization. Hist. mex. [online]. 2023, vol.73, n.1, pp.205-255.  Epub 26-Jun-2023. ISSN 2448-6531.  https://doi.org/10.24201/hm.v73i1.4669.

This article studies the crews of Spanish ships during the seventeenth century - sailors, pages, cabin boys, artillerymen and captains - in order to reflect on “early globalization.” It examines their role as intermediaries between distant worlds and bearers of knowledge during this initial globalization process. First, it sketches a portrait of these seamen to define the outlines of their global lives. It then analyzes the material lives of crews in order to emphasize the characteristics of a world that was beginning to be globalized. Finally, it studies the attitudes toward death found among the crewmen to reveal the extent to which their lives and their religious beliefs reflected this consciousness.

Palavras-chave : globalization; crews; Spanish fleets; seventeenth century.
