The construction of military edifices in Spanish Caribbean was overseen by engineers, as previous studies have largely shown, but forced labor played a key role in the processes, an understudied aspect. Hundreds of enslaved workers in San Juan de Puerto Rico or San Juan de Ulúa (Veracruz, Mexico) and thousands in Havana (Cuba) helped create the bui...
El Colegio de San Ildefonso, actualmente más conocido como iglesia de Santa Cruz de Manila fue una de las fundaciones más importantes de la Compañía de Jesús en el archipiélago. Su subasta tras la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús generó una importante documentación inédita hasta el momento. De esta colección se conserva un inventario que muestra c...
En la Edad Moderna, las fortificaciones diseñadas por los europeos en América y el
Sudeste asiático tuvieron que adaptarse a un contexto geográfico muy diferente a la
prevista por los planteamientos teóricos previos1
. Desde las bahías de bolsa hasta los
cerros de origen volcánico pasando por los arrecifes de coral, el medio planteaba un

Entrevista a Alfredo J. Morales
The transmission of European engravings to China had significant artistic consequences during the eighteenth century, at a key moment in the development of relations between the Chinese emperor and the pope. In Buildings on Paper: A 1713 Inventory of European Engravings for the Chinese Emperor, Pedro Luengo analyzes a previously unknown collection...
We studied the use of archaeological scholarly knowledge for supporting and promoting national identity by global non-professional communities. The data collection consisted of asynchronous online text-based Facebook focus group discussions in Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Lithuania, and Spain. After, we conducted a qualitative content analysis...
Chinese quarters developed significantly during the eighteenth century along the coasts of East and Southeast Asia, exhibiting a common urban milieu in cities such as Manila, Batavia, Hoi An, and Nagasaki. Sharing similarities, they can be found both in states ruled by Asians and by Europeans, allowing for a comparison. This paper aims to prove tha...
Early modern altarpieces constitute one of the most numerous collections of art in the Philippines and one of the most characteristic elements of religious heritage. Even so, art historians have paid little attention to their development and their chronology. This paper aims to provide a formal framework to date the archipelago’s altarpieces from t...

El contexto musical de la corte del VI conde de Luque ha sido subrayado por estudios previos, pero no así el origen de sus instrumentos. Este trabajo pretende reconstruir algunos procesos de adquisición y construcción, así como sus autores. Para ello, se ha partido de la documentación histórica conservada. Como resultado se han identificado varias...
The book demonstrates the importance of addressing the history of Southeast Asia as a multi-layered framework, rather than a series of entangled histories. In doing so, Manila is contextualized not merely as a Spanish settlement connected to New Spain via America, but instead within Southeast Asia, situated between the Chinese and the Sulú Seas, an...
The topic of museum illumination and conservation has been richly developed in recent years to take steps toward a zero-energy building concept. Most artworks preserved in museums’ expositions were designed for specifically defined light contexts, wherein daylight and seasonal changes were part of the artistic effect, an issue which has received li...
Historical building techniques have been pointed out as a sample of local resistance to colonial technical influence during the early modern period, although this could not be proven by chemical analysis. A clay brick with an attached lime mortar sample was acquired from the former San Francisco Church’s foundation in Intramuros, Manila, Philippine...

During the eighteenth century, the artistic exchange between the Chinese coasts and the rest of the world was noteworthy. One of the most significant pieces resulting from these encounters is the Santo Niño cradle owned by the Money Museum in Manila. It was probably made during the 18th century and was executed using Chinese gold filigree. On top,...
Defensive architecture in Southeast Asian port cities during the eighteenth century is a topic never addressed from a transnational perspective. This paper aims to analyze it as a phenomenon of scientific transfer, considering fortifications as a remarkable example of “open air science.” First, it shows the complex situation among antagonistic powe...

Este estudio pretende demostrar el interés filipino en crear planes de fortificación complementaria durante el siglo XVIII ante amenazas locales y conflictos globales. Además de las fronteras internas con los igorrotes y los moros, hubo de abordarse el temor a ataques británicos e incluso holandeses. Esta nueva forma de plantear la defensa, teniend...
The Union of the Iberian Crowns (1580–1640) promoted a wider cultural exchange between Portuguese and Spanish Asian settlements in Asia. This paper identifies the remarkable circulation of artisans and patrons and the development of new building techniques during this period, which allowed for a shared cultural dialogue that may be best described a...
The Spanish defeat in the Seven Years War led to a reassessment of the overseas fortification system.

The Franciscan presence around Manila had a high architectonic relevance during the second half of the eighteenth century. Recently two new drawings of that time have been found in AFIO. They are plans of the Church of Virgen de Salambao (1765) and that of Los Baños (1782). The Franciscan constitutions had a special attention to architecture, there...
As Maravall pointed out, the Baroque culture has to be understood as being deeply linked with the social context of the seventeenth century[1]. The same author insisted on the importance of taking into account all its peculiarities[2]. From this perspective, the European expansion during the sixteenth century and its consequences throughout the sev...
La escasez de representaciones artísticas conservadas en Filipinas dificulta el estudio de la iconografía musical y, con ello, de las prácticas interpretativas y constructivas de los instrumentos. El análisis de este conjunto pictórico permite ofrecer nuevos datos sobre la producción pictórica y la representación musical en los territorios asiático...
The comprehension of Manila as arisic and architectonic scenery involves taking into account diferent naionaliies located not only inside Intramuros, but also in suburbs. The British atack of 1762, and the later modiicaion of the wall and its nearness would change deiniively this area of the city. Diferents locaions of the Parian have been placed a...
The funeral practices promoted by the European Catholic missionaries in China provide an interesting
example of the adaptation of the Asian world in the 17th and 18th century. In this scope
one must highlight the speciic problem of the worship of the ancestors and more speciically the
design of the spirit tablets for this purpose. The movement of t...

El cinturón de arrabales de Manila sufrió un amplio desarrollo arquitectónico, urbanístico y artístico durante el siglo XVIII. Su población mayoritariamente sangley era a su vez una feligresía muy distinta a la de Intramuros, pues necesitaba de un adoctrinamiento específico. Las obras artísticas, dirigidas en su mayoría por maestros orientales, era...
Tondo church is one of Manila Extramuros parish founded contemporary with the capital. Unfortunately,
the knowledge about its building is scanty, in spite of the evident entail with the architecture of Intramuros.
Therefore, the location and study of documents as the notebook of works of 1727, will allow to face in a
future, not only the architectu...

I am trying to organize an international group of researchers working on cultural dialogues in South-East/South Asian territories during the 18th century. These processes can be found in architecture, languague, arts, crafts, sciences... All of them will be welcomed. Once we get several perspectives, we will try to find how to work together, applying for a Spanish call. Thank you!
We are seeking how interesting can be this topic for a future proposal. We will try to give a transdisciplinary persective, not only from the Humanities, and we are open to any idea that can help us to understand this problem.
War Heritage, even when it is from old times, play a different role in Heritage interpretation. This problem is similar in Macao, Manila, Sapporo, Sao Paulo, Veracruz or San Agustin de la Florida, just to give some examples. Although they are samples of technical dialogue, now are explained mainly as Imperial tools.
We are thinking on the next call of Uses of Past and we are seeking different kind of researchers from diferent "heritage disciplines", such as Anthropology, Architecture, Tourism, Languague, Gastronomy, History, Biology...
