Description
Durante el siglo XVII, desde Madrid, el rey y sus ministros del Consejo de Indias gobernaban territorios esparcidos entre Filipinas, Santo Domingo, México, Perú, Chile, Nueva Galicia, etc. En suma el Nuevo Mundo o las Indias Occidentales. Para superar distancias inéditas, la autoridad real recurrió masivamente a los papeles: cartas, cédulas, memoriales, informaciones, etc. fueron el principal medio de comunicación entre las dos orillas del Atlántico y más allá del Pacífico. Al estudiar un personaje secundario y desconocido, Juan Díez de la Calle, oficial de la Secretaría de Nueva España del Consejo de Indias entre 1624 y 1962, Guillaume Gaudin disecciona las prácticas de gobierno de este primer imperio global: la Monarquía Católica. Podría ser una sencilla biografía de un madrileño atrapado en las redes del Imperio… una biografía administrativa, política, intelectual en un momento crucial. Es todo esto, sin duda, y mucho más. Es una instantánea de la gestión cotidiana de la documentación en un organismo único en la historia, el de la Monarquía Hispánica en su extensión americana y asiática.
