SUMMARY:CSIS Seminar: ‘The wolf by the ears’ Jesús Sanjurjo 
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘The wolf by the ears’: defining anti-slave trade discourses in early 19th Spanish EmpireAbstractThe processes of construction, circulation and transformation of anti-slave trade public discourses in the Spanish Empire between 1810 and 1833 are assessed in this talk. It proposes a non-evolutionary approach to the development of these ideas both in metropolitan and colonial Spain and tackles the ideological tensions between liberalism, imperial rivalries and abolitionism. It highlights the need for (re) assessing the role of the Hispanic context and facilitating a wider study of the intellectual and political debates within early Liberalism. It thus aims to make an original contribution to current historiographical debates on anti-slave trade ideas, policies and discourses in the Atlantic world.Speaker biographyJesús Sanjurjo is a WRoCAH Doctoral Researcher and Teaching Assistant at the University of Leeds.
