This topic stems from the works of Max Weber, though its origin is older. This article offers an analysis of that theme in the historiography of English Protestantism. In the first place, it describes the progress of the issue in historiography and presents the criticisms it received at different times. Secondly, it showcases recent advances in the history of emotions which could be helpful for a better approach. Lastly, it highlights the need to observe the polemical dimension of discourses about Protestant affliction. It argues that the study of that affliction requires special consideration of the context of production and the specific vocabulary of primary sources. En los estudios históricos sobre el protestantismo existe un topos que consiste en asociar distintas denominaciones, en especial el calvinismo, con la producción de un sufrimiento psicológico profundo y patológico. Este tópico deriva en cierta medida de la obra de Max Weber, aunque su origen es más antiguo. Este artículo ofrece un análisis de ese tema en la historiografía sobre el protestantismo inglés. En primer lugar, describe el derrotero de ese problema historiográfico y presenta las críticas que se realizaron en distintos momentos. En segundo término, da cuenta de los aportes recientes de la historia de las emociones que podrían permitir un enfoque superador. Finalmente, destaca la necesidad de observar la dimensión polémica de los discursos acerca de la aflicción protestante y sostiene que, para estudiarla, es preciso considerar especialmente el contexto de producción y el vocabulario específico de las fuentes primarias. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/10147 10.34096/ahamm.v55.2.10147 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/10147/9946 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/10147/9951 Derechos de autor 2022 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 55 Núm. 2 (2021) 1853-1555 1514-9927 Max Weber Protestantism affliction despair melancholy Max Weber protestantismo aflicción desesperación melancolía “His Commandments Are Not Grievous”: An Historiographical Approach of Protestantism’s Relation to Affliction “Sus mandamientos no son penosos”: un abordaje historiográfico de la relación entre protestantismo y aflicción info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=moderna&d=10147_oai
