Abstract |
The controversial biographical trajectory of Pablo de Olavide is well known thanks to several research works that have analyzed much of his life and his actions. His reformist zeal, influenced by the ideas and currents of the Enlightenment, ended in a condemnation of the Inquisition, but, fortunately, this process allows us to know his particular way of understanding religion and leisure activities. These have been analyzed as a whole and, above all, focusing on what happened in the city of Seville, having left in the background what happened in those new colonies that were created under his orders in Sierra Morena and Andalusia from 1767 onwards. Hence, the objective of this work is to make an approximation to the leisure model that Olavide tried to implant in those populations, as well as the rejection or resistance that this generated in the clergy and the popular classes. © 2020 Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca. |
