Taking into consideration this research universe, it was observed that the concept document has a privileged position in the “protective belt” of the “scientific research program” of Imre Lakatos adapted to IS by Miguel Rendón Rojas. However, it was seen repeatedly that the document was approached inaccurately in the field of IS, mainly when conceptual aspects related one moment by tradition, and the next by innovation were not counterbalanced. Bearing in mind the objective of the study and the identified problematics, we resorted to the disciplines of History, Diplomatics and Documentation as they were relevant to a historical and conceptual approach, precisely for having studied the document prior to IS. The research of these disciplines was justified by the hypotheses that they have influenced and/or contributed to the meaning of document while a category in the theoretical universe of IS. Based on this conjecture, the following objectives arose: a) to carry out a historical and conceptual study to learn to what extent the analyzed disciplines have contributed for the meaning of document in IS; and b) to understand the nature and the range of the concept in IS when seen under a social perspective that contemplated the dynamic relationship between tradition and innovation in its theoretical framework. Therefore, tradition and innovation are considered as antithetical categories of analysis inspired on those that make up Historik by Reinhart Koselleck and that represent respectively “reality rates” and “perspectives of the future” of the concept document, if seen, above all, from the point of view...

This thesis sets out to explore the place and agency of non-comital women in twelfth-century Anglo-Norman England. Until now, broad generalisations have been applied to all aristocratic women based on a long established scholarship on royal and comital women. Non-comital women have been overlooked, mainly because of an assumed lack of suitable sources from this time period. The first aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that there is a sufficient corpus of charters for a study of this social group of women. It is based on a database created from 5545 charters, of which 3046 were issued by non-comital women and men, taken from three case study counties, Oxfordshire, Suffolk and Yorkshire, and is also supported by other government records. This thesis demonstrates that non-comital women had significant social and economic agency in their own person. By means of a detailed analysis of charters and their clauses this thesis argues that scholarship on non-comital women must rethink the framework applied to the study of non-comital women to address the lifecycle as one of continuities and as active agents in a wider public society. Non-comital women’s agency and identity was not only based on land or in widowhood, which has been the one period in their life cycles where scholars have recognised some level of autonomy, and women had agency in all stages of their life cycle. Women’s agency and identity were drawn from and part of a wider framework that included their families, their kin, and broader local political, religious, and social networks. Natal families continued to be important sources of agency and identity to women long after they had married. Part A of the thesis applies modern charter diplomatic analysis methods to the corpus of charters to bring out and explore women’s presence therein. Part B contextualises these findings and explores women’s agency in their families, landholding, the gift-economy, and the wider religious and social networks of which they were a part.

For centuries, the theory and principles of diplomatics have played a role in the work of European archivists. In North America, however, its relevance is still under scrutiny. This thesis employs diplomatic analysis to test its validity when applied to modern documents and procedures. To investigate the significance of diplomatic methodology and analysis, this thesis first discusses the recent history and structure of the British Columbia court system. It then examines a selection of case files from the civil, probate and bankruptcy registries, and it assigns the documents within to one of the six phases of a procedure: initiative, inquiry, consultation, deliberation, deliberation control, and execution. The study concludes by discussing the diplomatic character of the procedures and its importance in the understanding of modern records. More specifically, it outlines how diplomatics and procedural analysis can assist records professionals in the development of classification systems and retention and disposition schedules; the design of automated records management systems; and archival appraisal, arrangement and description. / Arts, Faculty of / Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS), School of / Graduate

Administration of the City of Rakovnik in the Late Middle Ages This work deals with the administration of the city of Rakovnik in the Late Middle Ages as it is reflected in the contemporary municipal books and records of the time. The focus of this work is on the development and operation of the municipal administration, with special attention being given to the existence and activities of city officials, as well as the purpose of individual aspects of the city's administrative life, and the control over such activities maintained by municipal authorities.

A proposta deste trabalho é a análise diplomática de Consultas do Conselho Ultramarino, relativas à Capitania de São Paulo. Entende-se aqui por Diplomática o estudo da criação, forma e transmissão dos documentos, bem como a sua relação com os fatos que os geraram e com o órgão administrativo de onde emanaram. A proposta gerada neste trabalho decorreu da análise de 40 (quarenta) Consultas datadas dos séculos XVII e XVIII. As Consultas, transcritas com base em normas de edição semidiplomática, foram agrupadas de acordo com semelhanças estruturais e tiveram, então, seu discurso analisado do ponto de vista diplomático. A análise determinou estruturas formulares distintas para as Consultas de Mercê, de Partes e de Serviço Real. Assim, com o apoio da teoria diplomática, fica evidenciado que, apesar de todas as Consultas se caracterizarem como documentação opinativa, na qual o Conselho Ultramarino auxilia o rei de Portugal na tomada de decisões administrativas com relação às colônias, a diferenciação de cada uma delas se dá mais pela ação que originou a produção do documento do que pelo assunto nele tratado, de modo que essa ação resulta em diferentes estruturas e em fórmulas lingüisticamente diversificadas. / This paper proposes the diplomatic analysis of \"Consultas\" produced by \"Conselho Ultramarino, and concerning to \"Capitania de São Paulo\". It is understood by Diplomatics the study of creation, form and transmission of records, as well as their relationship with the facts that originated them, and with their creator. The assertions formulated in the paper are substantiated on the analysis of 40 (forty) \"Consultas\" dated from XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. The transcription of the corpus is based on rules of semidiplomatic edition and it was gathered according to structural similitudes, followed by the analysis of its discourse, under the diplomatic point of view. The analysis lays down distinctive patterns for each kind of \"Consulta\": \"de Merce\", \"de Parte\" and \"de Serviço\". Then, with the support of diplomatic theory, it is possible to assume that although \"Consultas\" are documents that help the king in his resolutions concerning to the colonies, the differences between each one of them derive from the action that originated the writing of the document, rather than from the subject comprised on it, so that the action results on different structures and on different linguistic formulae.

Geralmente considerados material de segunda classe, os chamados recortes de jornal têm sido frequentemente marginalizados no plano do tratamento documental. Entretanto, sua presença nos arquivos, não raro formando conjuntos volumosos, é inegável e impõe desafios e dilemas aos arquivistas e profissionais que se dedicam a organizá-los e descrevê-los. Neste sentido, um dos problemas mais sensíveis tem sido o reconhecimento das espécies e tipos documentais resultantes da atividade jornalística, geralmente denominadas, nos instrumentos de pesquisa, de forma genérica e inadequada. Alinhando conceitos e noções da arquivística, da diplomática, das ciências da comunicação e da linguagem, procuramos identificar as espécies documentais usualmente encontradas sob a forma de recortes nos arquivos, definindo-as em glossário. Procuramos, ainda, reconhecer a condição arquivística e o caráter instrumental dos recortes de jornal, examinando, a partir de exemplos observados em arquivos pessoais, a lógica de sua acumulação como reflexo de uma prática social cujas origens remetem a uma tradição muito mais antiga do que se supõe. / Usually considered as second-class material, the so-called newspaper clippings have been marginalized at the level of archival processing. However, their existence in the archives is unquestionable and challenges archivists and other professionals who organize and describe them. In this sense, one of the most sensitive problems has been the identification of the forms resulting from journalistic processes, usually named in generic and inadequate ways in archival finding aids. By aligning concepts and notions from the fields of Archival Science, Diplomatics, Communication, and Language, this study aims to detect the forms usually named generically as clippings and to define them in a glossary. It also seeks to reaffirm the archival condition and the instrumental character of newspaper clippings, considering the accumulation of such material as the reflection of a social practice rooted in an ancient tradition.

This thesis argues that the Middle English alliterative prosody of the Piers Plowman tradition was influenced by a discourse combining law, history, homily and poetry which was inherited from the administrative practices of the Anglo-Saxon period. As literary and legal textual genres developed recognizably distinct formal characteristics in the later Middle Ages, the combination of homiletic rhetoric and alliterative sound-patterning evoked a surviving discourse in which the formal characteristics of poems and documents were less clearly distinguished. Thus insofar as it evoked Anglo-Saxon textual culture, Piers Plowman provided a formal model which was particularly suitable to criticisms of political institutions that consolidated their power by developing new distinctions between the genres of bureaucratic texts. In each of the texts and traditions studied – Wulfstan’s homiletic law code I–II Cnut and its Latin translations, The First Worcester Fragment, Laȝamon’s Arthurian Brut chronicle-poem, The South English Legendary "Life of St. Egwine", and the Piers Plowman tradition poem Mum and the Sothsegger – apparently “literary” devices are used to authorize historically-based “legal” claims, particularly on behalf of ecclesiastical institutions looking to maintain their local influence in the face of increasingly consolidated royal administrative authority. Though oaths played a much less important procedural role after the Norman Conquest than they did in the Anglo-Saxon period, the appearance of "creative" authenticating procedures in "commemorative" texts created the appearance of orality to post-Conquest readers, to criticize a government which claimed its English "common" law to originate in the remotest recorded antiquity, even as it abandoned the practices actually recorded in the earliest surviving law codes and documents to be written in England. Comparing these texts allows a deeper understanding of their shared authenticating strategies, and also a re-appraisal of the methods we use to describe the relationships between medieval documents and authors, literature and law, texts and contexts. Appended to the dissertation is an edition of the SEL "Life of St. Egwine." Because Egwine's hagiographic tradition is so thematically invested in political concerns and closely interconnected with legal documents attributed to Egwine himself, the edition provides an opportunity to take a "disjunctively" literary and diplomatic approach to the tradition, in the process exploring some of the practical implications of the larger theoretical issues raised by the thesis as a whole.
