[ES]Las sociedades de la edad moderna eran, esencialmente, conflictivas. Dentro de esta problemática social proponemos un estudio de aquella conflictividad que tiene como origen el complejo mundo de la medición en la época moderna y, en consecuencia, los límites de las cosas. Si bien es un tema que no ha sido abordado en la investigación, existen precedentes que nos dejan a las puertas de su análisis. Quizás la obra más representativa fuera Las medidas y los hombres de W. Kula, aunque ha habido otros intentos similares, como el estudio de Whitrow sobre la concepción social del tiempo. La naturaleza de los conflictos nos obligan a acudir a la documentación judicial, pero no sólamente: mucha de la conflictividad no llega a los tribunales (con lo que deberemos atender a la documentación notarial) y otra, aún llegando, finaliza sin sentencia judicial, por acuerdos o convenios entre las partes. Haberá que adentrarse igualmente en cualquier otra documentación que nos ayude a la comprensión del sistema métrico antes de la revolución del XVIII; así, los textos legales de ayuntamientos, como ordenanzas o actas municipales, pueden ser sumamente interesantes. He aquí una propuesta de investigación y una puesta a punto del estado de la cuestión
[EN]Early modern history societies were, essentially, conflictives. Our investigation is focus on those conflicts that were born because of the metric system complexity and, consequently, the undefined limits of things. This issue has not been researched yet, but there are certains studies that help us to start our research. Maybe the best work was made by W. Kula, titled Measures and men, although it was not the only one attempt: there is also another work about timing and its conception by differents groups of the society ( e.g: laboral work). The origin of the conflicts requires looking for documentation from the court, but not only: there is a lot of these conflicts that were not solved in the court and even if these conflicts arrived at court, there are again a lot of them who were detained and solved either by deals or agreements without court decision. In add, we should study any other documentation about the metric system before the Revolution of 18th century, as well as legal papers from councils. This is only a research proposal and a review of this issue from precedents works.
