Project: "Clientelist Networks and Corruption in the Inquisitorial Tribunal of Cartagena de Indias, 1640–1650"

---

This doctoral research analyzes the inquisitorial visitation carried out between 1643 and 1645 to the Tribunal of the Holy Office in Cartagena de Indias, with the aim of studying corruption practices, clientelist networks, and the dynamics of informal power involving the inquisitors. Based on the analysis of primary sources, the project offers a critical reinterpretation of the role of the inquisitorial tribunal in the New Granada Caribbean, particularly in its connection to the slave trade. From a social and cultural history perspective, it explores the tensions between the imperial apparatus and local actors, as well as the ways in which these actors mobilized in contexts of institutional crisis. The research contributes to ongoing debates on power dynamics, agency, and resistance in the colonial Latin American world.
