"Tro ubling Devotion: Laywomen and the Making of Colonial Catholicism in New Spa in"
In this talk\, Dr. JESSICA DELGADO will present some of the significant historiographical contributions of studying religio n in colonial Mexico from the starting point of laywomen's participation an d experience. Looking at laywomen's interactions with clergy\, ecclesiastic al courts\, sacraments and other church rituals\, and cloisters\, the large r study from which this talk is taken argues that women were central in the gradual process of creating colonial religious culture in New Spain. The t alk will synthesize some of the most important findings of this larger stud y\, focusing on the ways that centering laywomen impacts a number of histor ical and theoretical debates in the field of colonial Latin American histor y and the history of early modern Catholicism.
