Mediterranean dynastic, diplomatic, and military endeavors called for effective propaganda, both in the metropolis and in viceregal territories, such as southern Italy. Such efforts include architecture, both ephemeral and permanent, the decoration of palaces, court portraiture, and historiography. The advent of a Monarchia Hispanica under Habsburg rule required careful elaborations of national, religious, racial, and gender identities, across a mosaic of multilingual and multiethnic populations. This workshop aims to highlight some of these strategies, and to create a forum for discussion of further research avenues, under the guidance of scholars from Spanish and American universities. It is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University, and the University of Valencia, with additional support from the Fulbright Commission and the BBVA Foundation.ProgrammeVendredi 28 avril 201709.00Registration.09.15Welcome &#38; opening remarks.09.30Viceregal Palaces in the Dominions of the Crown of Aragon: Charting a Mediterranean ArchitectureProf. Mercedes Gómez-Ferrer (Universitat de València).10.45Icons of Dynastic Authority.
