Los procesos inquisitoriales —analizados con una metodología interdisciplinar—permiten rescatar historias y manifestaciones de sororidad ocultas o tamizadas bajo el peso de un imaginario colectivo alimentado por una mentalidad patriarcal, que presume que las rivalidades e insolidaridades son atributo inherente a la psicología femenina. En esta aportación, tras unas reflexiones teóricas, se abordan distintas vertientes de amistad y hospitalidad femenina, desde la óptica de la ética del cuidado, tanto en momentos dolorosos —soledad, enfermedad o sufrimiento— como en contextos de alegría compartida. A tal fin se analizan sus testimonios y conversaciones, muchas producidas en la intimidad del hogar, extraídas de las causas judiciales del Santo Oficio, instruidas a judeoconversas acusadas de herejía, procedentes de diversas localidades del reino de Aragón a fines de la Edad Media, en un contexto en que comienza a eclosionar el concepto de individualidad y donde la mujer goza de mayor autonomía de la que los textos proyectan.
The interdisciplinary analysis of inquisitorial trials allows us to recover narratives and expressions of sisterhood that have been obscured or overlooked due to the influence of a mindset moulded by patriarchal assumptions. These assumptions imply that rivalry and a lack of solidarity are attributes of female psychology. This study explores various aspects of female friendship and hospitality from the perspective of the ethics of care, both in moments of pain, such as solitude, illness or suffering, and contexts of shared joy. To this end, we analyse their testimonies and conversations, many of which were conducted in the privacy of their home, extracted from judicial cases of the Holy Office brought against Jewish Conversos accused of heresy, from various towns in the Kingdom of Aragon at the end of the Middle Ages. It is important to note that this context was one in which the concept of individuality was beginning to emerge and in which women enjoyed greater autonomy than the texts suggest.
