During the late Middle Ages, the organization of voluntary jurisdiction in the customary regions of the Southern Low Countries was strongly determined by local developments. While it thrived in the major bishoprics of Liège and Tournai as well as in the commercial centers of Flanders and Brabant, historiography long assumed that the notary public f...
La comparaison entre les deux versions de la sociologie wébérienne de la domination permet de corriger l’appréciation de Marianne Weber : il ne s’agit pas de deux parties complémentaires d’un seul ensemble. Max Weber procède, dans la seconde version ordonnée autour des types de domination légitime, à une série de clarifications conceptuelles : il r...
Feudalism is a key issue when explaining the Middle Ages in the Argentine school today and always. In the framework of a national educational reform that comes to cause changes in the contents and teaching methods within the curricular designs, we observe that in the classroom practice and, especially in the school manuals used as historical source...

The Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia represents a peripheral region far from the centers of global capitalist production, and this is all the more apparent in Mithilanchal, a cultural domain spanning the Nepal/Bihar border. The agrarian structure can be considered ‘semi-feudal’ in character, dominated by landlordism and usury, and backed up by...
Desde que Pierre Toubert publicara su estudio sobre el Lazio, el incastellamento se convirtió en un importante punto de partida a la hora de explicar el feudalismo en buena parte del mundo mediterráneo. Lejos de intentar validar su viabilidad en la Península Ibérica, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio sobre el papel ejercido por las fortificaciones y ...
[ct] L’ús del lèxic del dret feudal per part dels trobadors de les corts occitanes durant els segles XII i XIII és la característica més innovadora d’aquesta manifestació artística. Aquesta convenció es manté, amb nivells d’intensitat variables, en la producció dels poetes catalans i valencians dels segles XIV i XV, que recullen i reelaboren la tra...
