El presente articulo brinda un panorama de la manera en que fue recibida la Constitucion de Cadiz en la Nueva Espana, particularmente durante el periodo que va de septiembre de 1812 a agosto de 1814. El documento gaditano volveria a regir en suelo novohispano, pero esta vez por menos tiempo aun (mayo 1820-septiembre 1821). Como lo sugiere la segunda parte del titulo de este trabajo, la Constitucion de 1812 fue cumplida de un modo parcial en el virreinato novohispano. Esto se explica, sobre todo, a causa de la situacion belica en la que se encontraba a raiz de la sublevacion popular que inicio el padre Miguel Hidalgo en septiembre de 1810.

In this article I do not try to analyze the whole works of Blanco White, but only to refer the main subjects in his analysis about the American situation.

This article gives an overview of the historiographic revolution that the study of the Enlightenment has gone through in the last fifteen years in the Western world and assesses part of the recent bibliography on the Spanish and Spanish American Enlightenments. It is also a critical analysis not only of Jonathan Israel’s perspective on the Spanish American Enlightenment, but mainly, in a more general sense, of the a-critical application of the categories ‘Enlightenment’ and ‘Counter- Enlightenment’ to Spain and, particularly, to the Spanish American case. As the Spanish American Enlightenment shows, this was a social and intellectual process with a series of peculiarities or specificities that complicate the indiscriminate application of the aforementioned categories. A critical review of Israel’s interpretation of the Spanish American Enlightenment and especially the ambiguous character of the Spanish American Counter-Enlightenment brings to the fore the need for a more subtle and ...
