Abstract:

This lecture attempts to explain the connections between concepts such as Consent, Monarchy and Indigeneity in relation to the legacies of British and Spanish presence in the Americas. The objective is to identify the importance of monarchies as contemporary political institutions. The lecture includes some recent examples that illustrate the relevance of the topic. Finally, in this review of contemporary political questions about empire and colonialism, concepts are understood as “tools for the collection of facts, containers of data” (Giovani Sartori 1970).
