acase@tulane.edu / Esta tesis examina las representaciones escritas que se hicieron de la multitud urbana protagonista de la Rebelión de los Barrios de Quito, de 1765, que surgieron en los mismos días de la revuelta y continuaron hasta fines del siglo XVIII. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es considerar cómo estas representaciones de la llamada plebe quiteña develan una percepción de este grupo propia de las élites a la vez que construyen unas narrativas particulares del alzamiento y unas identidades específicas de los sujetos que lo protagonizaron y de la sociedad colonial de la Audiencia de Quito. El primer capítulo revisa el campo semántico que conforma la voz española plebe, en su desarrollo histórico diacrónico. Se analizan los orígenes del concepto en la República romana, la transmisión de la noción a España, su equivalencia en los textos medievales y su consolidación en los tratados renacentistas. Finalmente, se repasa el traslado del término a los virreinatos americanos, donde la voz adquiere connotaciones propias de ese contexto. El capítulo segundo explora los documentos oficiales que reposan en archivos de España y América Latina. Analiza las representaciones que los testigos del alzamiento hicieron de la plebe de Quito, motivados por el impulso de diferenciarse de ellos y resaltar su propia actuación. El tercer capítulo estudia la Compendiosa relación de la cristiandad de Quito (1773), del jesuita Bernardo Recio. Se argumenta que su representación de la plebe como un ejército infernal y de la Rebelión de los Barrios de Quito como una lucha espiritual, constituyen una defensa de la Compañía de Jesús en el contexto de la expulsión de la orden de los territorios de la Corona española, en 1767. El cuarto capítulo analiza el relato de de la Rebelión de los Barrios en la Historia del Reino de Quito en la América Meridional, del jesuita expulso Juan de Velasco (1789). Para Velasco, la Rebelión de los Barrios es el resultado de una crisis política y social en la Audiencia de Quito. La solución que propone Velasco sugiere una apología de la Compañía y un ejemplo de patriotismo criollo. / 1 / Carla Estefania Flores Ortiz

The Cristero Rebellion and the Sinarquista Movement were reactionary forces that opposed the progression of the Mexican Revolution in the first half of the twentieth century. This thesis compares the two movements, with particular emphasis on their ideologies. Both groups embodied Catholic resistance against an anticlerical and socialist Mexican government. The struggle between the church and state, which can be traced to colonial times, reached a zenith with the highly anticlerical Mexican Revolution of 1910. As revolutionary ideology was vigorously implemented by the Mexican state, Catholics rallied behind the church and sought recourse in violence. This culminated in the Cristero Rebellion of 1926-29, with disastrous results. In the 1930s, when the new threat of socialism emerged, Catholics abandoned the path of bloodshed and supported the Sinarquista Movement. These movements represented the ultimate expression in religious protest, yet little is written that compares the Sinarquistas with the Cristeros. Moreover, some historians contended that the two groups had little in common. In essence, present historiography views the movements as two separate events. This thesis argues that while a few differences exist, the Sinarquistas shared many of the goals, ideologies, and demographics of the Cristeros. Moreover, it concludes that the Sinarquista Movement was essentially a continuation of the Cristero struggle.

Nearly all of the histories of Shays's Rebellion point to debt as the reason why farmers in western Massachusetts rose against the courts and the state government in the fall and winter of 1786-87. Recent scholarship demonstrates a new line of reasoning based on the tax records of those involved. The following thesis, a screenplay, offers a fictional telling of this insurgency. The story is told using language pulled from contemporary letters and documents and follows a line of causation pointing to inequitable state tax structure and poor representation as the provocation. The response that ensued was not a rebellion -- it was a Regulation.

The central theme in the following five chapters is that the native African in Rhodesia, confronted less than a century ago by modern civilization, has been deprived of his homeland and purposely restrained from progressing politically toward the leadership of his own nation.
