Abstract


From 1750 onwards a reformation movement that intended to carry out a profound reorganization in the administrative, military, economic and ecclesiastical spheres, was intensified in Hispanic America. Focusing my research on nunneries, I intend to reconstruct these women’s practices and analyze in what way, up to what extend, and in the midst of what tensions and contradictions, these and subsequent reforms were experimented in cloistered convents in New Spain, Perú and Buenos Aires.
