The Institutions of the Habsburg Low Countries (XVI-XVIII c.)Lieu: Radboud Universiteit NijmegenDate de l’événement: 26-27 May 2016Résumé/argumentSince the 1970s the institutional history of the Habsburg Low Countries has regained the interest of historians, chief among them Professor Hugo de Schepper, whose dissertation on the ‘Collateral Councils’ in the period 1579-1609 has influenced a generation of younger scholars. Professor De Schepper was also one of the organizers of the first Hispanic-Dutch Conference in 1984, which was followed by six more editions and included Belgian historians in the last meeting of 2007.This conference intends to continue the tradition of the Hispanic-Dutch-Belgian meetings and will bring together a number of established and early-career researchers working in the field of the institutional history of the Habsburg Low Countries from the 16th to the 18th century. It aims to draw attention to a broad range of political, economic, religious and cultural institutions by focussing on the enriching approaches that have shaped historical research on institutional history in the past few decades. At the same time, it hopes to bring into the limelight some exciting new (and often interdisciplinary) perspectives that characterize current research in the field.The conference will be held in honour of Prof. De Schepper at his former home institution, the University of Nijmegen (currently Radboud University). Prof. De Schepper is currently in the process of revising and updating his doctoral dissertation, which will be published by the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium in 2016 and will be presented to the audience by the author himself.Programme / ProgramaThursday, 26 May 2016 / Jueves, 26 de Mayo de 2016Morning / Mañana (9:30-12:30)9:30-10:00 Opening of the conference and welcome / Recibimiento de seminaristas y entrega de documentación10:00-10:45 Opening lecture by Professor Hugo de Schepper and presentation of his book ‘De Regeringsraden naast Landsheren en Landvoogden in de Habsburgse Nederlanden’ / Discurso del profesor Hugo de Schepper y presentación de la edición de su libro ‘Los Consejos de Gobierno a latere principis o de su theniente general en el Flandes de los Austrias’10:45-11:00 Break / DescansoSession Political Institutions I / Sección Instituciones Políticas11:00-11:20 René Vermeir (Universiteit Gent) – ‘Statebuilding from below: the case of the Estates of Flanders during the 17th century’’11:20-11:40 Alícia Esteban Estríngana (Universidad de Alcalá de Henares) – ‘El príncipe y su sucesión: la alternativa de separar o conservar los Países Bajos en el reinado de Felipe II’11:40-12:00 Bram De Ridder (KU Leuven) – ‘Passports as an institutionalized form of Habsburg-Dutch border control during the Eighty Years War’12:00-12:30 Discussion / Debate12:30-13:30 Lunch / DesayunoAfternoon / Tarde (13:30-16:40)Session Court Institutions / Sección Instituciones Cortesanas13:30-13:50 José Eloy Hortal Muñoz (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) – ‘History and evolution of one Court of the Spanish monarchy: the creation of the Maison Royale de Bruxelles’13:50-14:10 Cristina Bravo Lozano (Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Sevilla) – ‘Decoro, ejemplaridad y persuasión: la identidad confesional de la real capilla española en La Haya (1648-1702)’14:10-14:30 Steven Thiry (Universiteit Antwerpen) – ‘Gideon’s Tribulation.
