Deliberating on ForeignnessFigueras i Gibert, Jan (Avtor) craft guildsearly modern CataloniaFrench migrationintegrationdeliberationelectoral reformsRecent scholarship has portrayed European craft guilds as more inclusive towards new members than previously assumed. Their role in the integration of newcomers into urban communities has been highlighted as a gateway to a practical notion of citizenship. However, the role of guild deliberation practices in the integration of migrant individuals has not been examined. The present work aims to address this issue through a case study of late sixteenth-century Catalonia. Between 1580 and 1600, the wool weavers’ guild of the town of Terrassa integrated large numbers of French migrants into its membership. Through a series of institutional and electoral reforms, the deliberative practices of the guild gradually evolved to further include the foreigners, initially underrepresented.20252026-06-15 22:03:17Delo ni kategorizirano30127slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
