la Cofradía Colonial y las Mutualidades en el Liberalismo
Colonial confraternities and the mutual aid societies promoted by liberalism were institutions that, in their respective historical moments, formed part of the political culture that gave meaning to social integration. Institutions justify hierarchies, validate distinctions, and legitimize authority, but they also give meaning to everyday actions, reaffirming and making visible the connection of individuals with their community, with state administration, and with the transcendent. Therefore, reviewing their regulations and analyzing the practices they seek to govern allows us to reconstruct what is expected of individuals, recognize the values that underpin community relations, and understand the worldviews disseminated within a specific political culture.
