Abstract
En este artículo se abordan las ideas
heredadas de la tradición romanística y
patrística que contribuyeron a la formulación
medieval de la infirmitas o fragilidad
de las mujeres. Se presenta un análisis de
larga duración en que se explora cómo los
discursos de la infirmitas se plasmaron en
las compilaciones legales de Castilla en forma
de restricciones a la capacidad de obrar
de las mujeres, prohibiciones de ejercicio y
disfrute de cargos u oficios públicos y articulación
de figuras jurídicas tendentes a
la protección de la supuesta fragilidad de
cuerpo y mente, tanto en el ámbito civil
como en lo criminal. Cierra esta perspectiva
formal, teórica, un acercamiento crítico
a los datos de participación de las mujeres
ante los tribunales de Antiguo Régimen.
This article deals with the inherited ideas from the romanistic and patristic tradition that contributed to the medieval formulation of women’s infirmitas or fragility. A long-term analysis is presented in which it is explored how the infirmitas discourses were reflected in legal compilations of Castilla in the form of restrictions on women’s capacity to act, prohibitions on the exercise and enjoyment of public offices and the articulation of legal figures tending to protect the supposed fragility of her body and mind, both in the civil and criminal spheres. This formal, theoretical perspective, closes with a critical approach to the data on women’s participation in Ancient Regime Castilian courts.
