Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Preguntas, interrogantes, enigmas de la historia, que son tratados por Callejo a lo largo de las doscientas ochenta y tres páginas que componen este libro en las que hallará la magia de la brujería, de sus brujos y brujas.” (Francisco Contreras Gil, Web Comentarios de libros) “Uno de los rasgos más predominantes en el libro Breve historia de la brujería, es que a través de una prosa clara, directa, fácil de seguir, y didáctica a la par que sugerente, analiza con fino bisturí todo un mundo de superchería alojando luz sobre caminos que han sido enajenados por la cerrazón de la mente humana.” (Blog Historia con minúsculas, 14 de marzo de 2012) “Desde luego el libro no tiene desperdicio. Quien creyera que sólo existió una inquisición está equivocado, quien pensara que la caza de brujas comenzó en la época medieval, va por mal camino, y quien esté convencido de que esta caza es sólo cosa de la religión, no conoce con profundidad la misoginia que se escondía bajo esta causa y los intereses personales de quienes participaron en ella.” (Anika, Web Anika entre libros) Capaces de crear tempestades y arruinar las cosechas a golpe de conjuro. La verdadera historia de estas mujeres masacradas y perseguidas por toda Europa. Es mucha la leyenda que existe sobre la brujería y las brujas, y es mucho lo que se ignora de estas mujeres, bien por su hermetismo, bien porque sus prácticas fueron perseguidas y borradas de la historia por la religión hegemónica. Jesús Callejo hace gala en este libro de sus inmensos conocimientos sobre brujería y nos abre las puertas al mundo oculto de estas heréticas mujeres cuyo único pecado fue tener un concepto de la vida y sus misterios distinto al imperante en la época. Breve Historia de la Brujería no descubre los pormenores de los aquelarres, los términos que se usaban para pactar con Satanás, los conjuros y oraciones que utilizaban las brujas; pero también las dramáticas cifras de su persecución y exterminio por Europa y Norteamérica. Con el humor y la profundidad que caracteriza a Jesús Callejo, nos ofrece en los tres primeros capítulos de la obra un criterio de demarcación de la brujería que contribuye no poco a despejar dudas y a desmentir tópicos sobre las brujas y sus prácticas esotéricas; una vez explicados los pormenores de los aquelarres o los libros de brujería, pasa a desarrollar la historia de la persecución a estas mujeres, por motivos religiosos pero sin olvidar la misoginia imperante en la época, en Europa y América descubriéndonos datos tan curiosos como que la Inquisición no asesinó a tantas brujas como se cree en comparación con la iglesia alemana o francesa; el último capítulo está dedicado a la vigencia de las prácticas esotéricas en el S. XXI, a través del neopaganismo de figuras como Castaneda o de corrientes como la Wicca. Completa este volumen una valiosísima información: tablas en las que se muestra el número de brujas ajusticiadas por países teniendo en cuenta los habitantes que tenían en la época o grabados en los que se enseñan las distintas torturas que se infligían a estas hijas de Hécate y Diana. Razones para comprar la obra: - Jesús Callejo es un experto en el tema de la brujería y en la divulgación del mismo. - El libro trata un tema de actualidad debido al resurgimiento del neopaganismo. - Los estudios sobre la Inquisición y las partes más herméticas del catolicismo, tienen hoy plena vigencia. - El estilo del autor que mezcla perfectamente agilidad, humor profundidad y rigor. Un libro imprescindible que arroja una luz necesaria sobre este mundo, oscuro y cerrado, que no obstante, no es menos oscuro que la religión que se dedicó a su persecución y exterminio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra propone desmitificar un tema de ayer, de hoy y de siempre, tan sugestivo, atrayente y lleno de misterio como ha sido y continúa siendo la brujería. La brujería ha sido y es uno de tantos fenómenos de tipo paranormal que ha vivido la historia de la humanidad, surgido por un cúmulo de circunstancias políticas, sociales, económicas, a las que se debe añadir las espirituales, mentales y religiosas. Desde su aparición sobre la Tierra, los seres humanos han sentido la necesidad de buscar enlaces con ese supuesto o real más allá y de contestar a las preguntas: ¿quiénes somos?, ¿de dónde venimos? y ¿a dónde vamos?, sin conseguir unas respuestas plenamente satisfactorias. Las brujas han sido, para bien o para mal, un vehículo de unión con lo desconocido. El profesor Cardona ha puesto los puntos sobre las íes sobre ellas, reflejando los cambios de mentalidad en las diversas épocas y países, llegando hasta la época presente y profundizando en la brujería española y latinoamericana y en las injustas persecuciones de que fue objeto desde mediados de la Edad Media hasta el siglo XVII. En la obra se han analizado también las misas negras y la perduración de la brujería en el continente africano, para terminar con una aproximación a las fiestas populares protagonizadas por brujas o demonios.
Download or read book Historia de la brujer a written by Jeffrey Burton Russell and published by Paidos Iberica Ediciones S A. This book was released on 1998 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obsesion por la brujeria que asolo Europa durante los siglos XVI y XVII costo la vida a mas de cien mil personas y aun hoy conserva intacta la inquietante imagen de ciertos hechiceros y brujas famosos por sus magicos poderes. Sin embargo, y a pesar de la importancia de este extrano episodio de la historia humana, se trata de un tema que hasta el momento ha sido objeto de muy pocos estudios y comentarios, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta sus innumerables ramificaciones historicas, antropologicas y religiosas, entre otras muchas. Pues bien, en este libro lucido y provocador, el profesor Russell proporciona el mejor resumen realizado hasta la fecha respecto a tan compleja materia. A partir de fructiferas comparaciones entre la brujeria moderna y la antigua, la obra ilustra el modo en que esta ultima desarrollo una especialisima combinacion de hechiceria, herejias cristianas medievales los cataros, por ejemplo, paganismo, folclore e incluso teologia escolastica: una mezcla explosiva que ha intrigado y confundido a todos los investigadores que se han acercado a ella desde entonces. Si existieron o no esas practicas diabolicas que llevaron a la hoguera a tantos hombres y mujeres es algo que, tras la lectura de este libro, podra aun ser objeto de todo tipo de especulaciones. Lo que si quedara claro, sin embargo, es el hecho de que fueron muchas las personas que creyeron en todo esto, y entre ellos no solo ignorantes campesinos, sino tambien eruditos e intelectuales. Lo cual, claro esta, no significa nada en si mismo, pero en cualquier caso resulta muy util como inicio de cualquier acercamiento a un tema tan controvertido como este.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume encyclopedia describes and explains the variety and commonalities in Latina/o culture, providing comprehensive coverage of a variety of Latina/o cultural forms—popular culture, folk culture, rites of passages, and many other forms of shared expression.

This important work examines the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific traditions in rich detail, providing an accurate and comprehensive treatment of what constitutes "the Latino experience" in America. The entries in this three-volume set provide accessible, in-depth information on a wide range of topics, covering cultural traditions including food; art, film, music, and literature; secular and religious celebrations; and religious beliefs and practices. Readers will gain an appreciation for the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific Latina/o traditions. Accompanying sidebars and "spotlight" biographies serve to highlight specific cultural differences and key individuals.

Download or read book World Literature in Spanish 3 volumes written by Maureen Ihrie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 1509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings. Providing a thorough introduction to Spanish-language literature worldwide and across time is a tall order. However, World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia contains roughly 850 entries on both major and minor authors, themes, genres, and topics of Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the present day, affording an amazingly comprehensive reference collection in a single work. This encyclopedia describes the growing diversity within national borders, the increasing interdependence among nations, and the myriad impacts of Spanish literature across the globe. All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear. While writings throughout the centuries are covered, those of the 20th and 21st centuries receive special consideration.
Download or read book Participatory Knowledge written by Charlotte A. Lerg and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With concepts of participation discussed in multiple disciplines from media studies to anthropology, from political sciences to sociology, the first issue of the new yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) dedicates a thematic section to the way knowledge can and arguably must be conceptualized as "participatory". Introducing and exploring "participatory knowledge", the volume aims to draw attention to the potential of looking at knowledge formation and circulation through a new lens and to open a dialogue about how and what concepts and theories of participation can contribute to the history of knowledge. By asking who gets to participate in defining what counts as knowledge and in deciding whose knowledge is circulated, modes of participation enter into the examination of knowledge on various levels and within multiple cultural contexts. The articles in this volume attest to the great variety of approaches, contexts, and interpretations of "participatory knowledge", from the sociological projects of the Frankfurt School to the Uppsala-based Institute for Race Biology, from the Argentinian National Folklore Survey to current hashtag activism and Covid-19-archive projects. HIC sees knowledge as rooted in social and political structures, determined by modes of transfer and produced in collaborative processes. The notion of "participatory knowledge" highlights in a compelling way how knowledge is rooted in cultural practices and social configurations.

Download or read book Hex written by Jenni Fagan and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerfully poignant tale of one of the most turbulent moments in Scotland's history: the North Berwick Witch Trials. IT'S THE 4TH OF DECEMBER 1591. On this, the last night of her life, in a prison cell several floors below Edinburgh's High Street, convicted witch Geillis Duncan receives a mysterious visitor – Iris, who says she comes from a future where women are still persecuted for who they are and what they believe. As the hours pass and dawn approaches, Geillis recounts the circumstances of her arrest, brutal torture, confession and trial, while Iris offers support, solace – and the tantalising prospect of escape. Hex is a visceral depiction of what happens when a society is consumed by fear and superstition, exploring how the terrible force of a king's violent crusade against ordinary women can still be felt, right up to the present day. 'This series has already produced two works of note and distinction. It raises the question – if a country cannot re-tell its history, will it be stuck forever in aspic and condemned to be nothing more than a shortbread tin illustration? Hex and Rizzio are showing the way towards a reckoning, and about time too' – Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday

Download or read book Jun pero Serra written by Rose Marie Beebe and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franciscan missionary friar Junípero Serra (1713–1784), one of the most widely known and influential inhabitants of early California, embodied many of the ideas and practices that animated the Spanish presence in the Americas. In this definitive biography, translators and historians Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz bring this complex figure to life and illuminate the Spanish period of California and the American Southwest. In Junípero Serra: California, Indians, and the Transformation of a Missionary, Beebe and Senkewicz focus on Serra’s religious identity and his relations with Native peoples. They intersperse their narrative with new and accessible translations of many of Serra’s letters and sermons, which allows his voice to be heard in a more direct and engaging fashion. Serra spent thirty-four years as a missionary to Indians in Mexico and California. He believed that paternalistic religious rule offered Indians a better life than their oppressive exploitation by colonial soldiers and settlers, which he deemed the only realistic alternative available to them at that time and place. Serra’s unswerving commitment to his vision embroiled him in frequent conflicts with California’s governors, soldiers, native peoples, and even his fellow missionaries. Yet because he prevailed often enough, he was able to place his unique stamp on the first years of California’s history. Beebe and Senkewicz interpret Junípero Serra neither as a saint nor as the personification of the Black Legend. They recount his life from his birth in a small farming village on Mallorca. They detail his experiences in central Mexico and Baja California, as well as the tumultuous fifteen years he spent as founder of the California missions. Serra’s Franciscan ideals are analyzed in their eighteenth-century context, which allows readers to understand more fully the differences and similarities between his world and ours. Combining history, culture, and linguistics, this new study conveys the power and nuance of Serra’s voice and, ultimately, his impact on history.
