Published since 1965 by Casa de Velázquez, the Mélanges de la Casa de Velázquez cover scientific research in the humanities and social sciences on the Iberian Peninsula, the Maghreb and the Iberian Atlantic Area, without any period restrictions. The six-monthly journal encourages original diachronic, multiscalar or interdisciplinary approaches in order to explore new dynamics and confront different perspectives.
The former collection (1965-1996) is available in open access on persee.fr

Urbanismo y jerarquización urbana de los territorios americanos (1500-1700)

Urbanisme et hiérarchisation urbaine dans les territoires américains (1500-1700)
Urbanism and urban hierarchy in the American territories (1500-1700)

The aim of this dossier is to present the results of the JEURCAS (HAR2013-44014-P) and CEURAM (Casa de Velázquez-UCM) projects, in which many of the authors participated and in which an integrated historical analysis of cities was carried out—in a broad framework that connected Europe and America, open to the opportunities of interdisciplinarity and the contribution of renowned international specialists—following the parameters of analysis and study of the most renewed urban history. It is common knowledge that the urban models transferred to America were related to pre-existing forms. Therefore, this analysis was precisely based on the study of that set of contributions and continuities, with the purpose of understanding the processes during a period during which archaeological and documentary sources provide numerous data, enabling more ambitious analyses of the dynamics associated with such implantation.
