Summary

TLDRProfessor Basílio's lecture delves into the emergence of the modern state, highlighting the transition from medieval fragmentation to centralized power. The crisis of the 14th century, marked by plague, famine, and peasant revolts, set the stage for the rise of absolute monarchy. This new order saw the nobility relinquish certain rights to maintain privileges, while the bourgeoisie, through financial support, gained economic advantages. Meanwhile, peasants, striving for better living conditions, were subjugated by the state's military might, leading to their proletarianization. The modern state's control over bodies, especially women's, aimed to increase the workforce and solidify its power, reflecting a hierarchical and exclusionary perspective that persists even today.
