Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, the kitchen is the heart of family and community life. Yet, while everyone has a story to tell about their grandmother's kitchen, the myriad activities that go on in this usually female world are often devalued, and little scholarly attention has been paid to this crucial space in which family, gender, and community relations are forged and maintained. To give the kitchen the prominence and respect it merits, Maria Elisa Christie here offers a pioneering ethnography of kitchenspace in three central Mexican communities, Xochimilco, Ocotepec, and Tetecala. Christie coined the term "kitchenspace" to encompass both the inside kitchen area in which everyday meals for the family are made and the larger outside cooking area in which elaborate meals for community fiestas are prepared by many women working together. She explores how both kinds of meal preparation create bonds among family and community members. In particular, she shows how women's work in preparing food for fiestas gives women status in their communities and creates social networks of reciprocal obligation. In a culture rigidly stratified by gender, Christie concludes, kitchenspace gives women a source of power and a place in which to transmit the traditions and beliefs of older generations through quasi-sacramental food rites.

Download or read book Theater of a Thousand Wonders written by William B. Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great many shrines of New Spain have become long-lived sites of shared devotion and contestation across social groups. They have provided a lasting sense of enchantment, of divine immanence in the present, and a hunger for epiphanies in daily life. This is a story of consolidation and growth during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, rather than one of rise and decline in the face of early stages of modernization. Based on research in a wide array of manuscript and printed primary sources, and informed by recent scholarship in art history, religious studies, anthropology, and history, this is the first comprehensive study of shrines and miraculous images in any part of early modern Latin America.

Download or read book Transforming Saints written by Charlene Villaseñor Black and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming Saints explores the transformation and function of the images of holy women within wider religious, social, and political contexts of Old Spain and New Spain from the Spanish conquest to Mexican independence. The chapters here examine the rise of the cults of the lactating Madonna, St. Anne, St. Librada, St. Mary Magdalene, and the Suffering Virgin. Concerned with holy figures presented as feminine archetypes—images that came under Inquisition scrutiny—as well as with cults suspected of concealing Indigenous influences, Charlene Villaseñor Black argues that these images would come to reflect the empowerment and agency of women in viceregal Mexico. Her close analysis of the imagery additionally demonstrates artists' innovative responses to Inquisition censorship and the new artistic demands occasioned by conversion. The concerns that motivated the twenty-first century protests against Chicana artists Yolanda López in 2001 and Alma López in 2003 have a long history in the Hispanic world, in the form of anxieties about the humanization of sacred female bodies and fears of Indigenous influences infiltrating Catholicism. In this context Black also examines a number of important artists in depth, including El Greco, Murillo, Jusepe de Ribera, Pedro de Mena, Baltasar de Echave Ibía, Juan Correa, Cristóbal de Villalpando, and Miguel Cabrera.

Download or read book The Folklore of Spain in the American Southwest written by Aurelio M. Espinosa and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado holds a unique place in the world of Spanish folk literature. Isolated from the rest of the Spanish-speaking world for most of its history since its first settlement in 1598, it has retained, even into our own time, much of its Hispanic folkloric heritage from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-ballads, songs, poems, folktales, sayings, anecdotes, proverbs, riddles, and folk drama. In this book, written in the late 1930s and never before published, Aurelio M. Espinosa, New Mexico’s pioneer folklorist, presents the first comprehensive, authoritative account of the relict folklore, bringing together the results of his collecting during the first third of this century, in the Southwest and in Spain, and his many ground-breaking scholarly studies.

Download or read book Impresiones a Colores written by Xelhua RodÉ and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impresiones a Colores son una serie de relatos que compendian veinte años de la vida del autor y que, mediante la secuencia no cronológica expone las realidades sociales y culturales que se concretan en la comunidad mexicana; el autor hace un recorrido atrevido expresando con libertad poética, las sensaciones que le transcurren; en algunos momentos se declara dadaísta y surrealista. Como Tzara balbucea los sonidos en el intento de la experiencia cero o Kandinsky se pierde en el caballete. La vida cotidiana le permite al autor inventarse y recrear mediante ejercicios de narrativa, de versificación, destacar los problemas sociales y la importancia de la vida en familia. El libro intenta acercarse al lector en un viaje sincrético, volátil y sensacional que le permiten al autor construir un enfoque de vida diaria grandemente enriquecido por la cotidianeidad, el amor a su familia y a su única hija, -que estuvo a punto de perder- hacen un vuelco fundamental que describe las Líneas de Tiempo y su entorno vital. Es una obra provocadora que más allá de la exposición de personajes y aventuras relatadas, desencadena quizá al análisis posterior de la realidad, oponerse al positivismo todavía vigente en algunos contextos.
