| Summary: | <p class="p1">This paper studies the disputes and controversies that arose in the female convents of the Crown of Aragon against the decrees issued at the end of the reign of Felipe IV that sought to impose strict respect for the enclosure, limiting visits and contacts with the external world. This enquiry shall help us to complete our knowledge about the polemics over enclosure that took place in Early Modern Spain. On the other hand, studying these tensions allows us to deepen in the analysis of the social and cultural dynamics of obedience in that religious female world during the Ancien Régime and also in its limits.</p> |
