Una escritura providencialista y perspicaz: el proyecto historiográfico de la Compañía de Jesús en Antequera y su impacto (1599-1623)

The following article aims to highlight the historiographical project of the Society of Jesus as a method for achieving high levels of power and social discipline in a short period of time, as well as to analyse the impact of its presence and writings in Antequera. Through a detailed study of the reactions of individuals, religious orders and secular clergy, some of which provoked major lawsuits, as well as an exhaustive analysis of the narrative, its style and socio-cultural intervention, this work shows the central role of the Colegio de la Anunciación as a major agent in Antequera's daily life, politics and customs during the Early Modern Age.
