Download or read book Spanish Books in the Europe of the Enlightenment Paris and London written by Nicolás Bas Martín and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spanish Books in the Europe of the Enlightenment (Paris and London) Nicolás Bas examines the image of Spain in eighteenth-century Europe, and in Paris and London in particular. His material has been scoured from an exhaustive interrogation of the records of the book trade. He refers to booksellers’ catalogues, private collections, auctions, and other sources of information in order to reconstruct the country’s cultural image. Rarely have these sources been searched for Spanish books, and never have they been as exhaustively exploited as they are in Bas’ book. Both England and France were conversant with some very negative ideas about Spain. The Black Legend, dating back to the sixteenth century, condemned Spain as repressive and priest-ridden. Bas shows however, that an alternative, more sympathetic, vision ran parallel with these negative views. His bibliographical approach brings to light the Spanish books that were bought, sold and ultimately read. The impression thus obtained is likely to help us understand not only Spain’s past, but also something of its present.

Download or read book Diablo novohispano written by Alberto Ortiz and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2015-05-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El diablo llegó a América protegido por el imaginario colectivo y el mito tradicional, pero los autores del discurso contra la magia y los propios colonizadores afirmaron que siempre había estado allí, fungiendo como señor de los naturales, proclamándose dios entre las supersticiones y las idolatrías. Así que fue necesario gestionar en la continuidad de los discursos que alertaban, aleccionaban y protegían contra un enemigo capaz de disfrazarse y adoptar formas rituales autóctonas; comenzó entonces una nueva etapa en la redacción de textos asimilados a la tradición del discurso demonológico. La atención se centró en la idolatría; el enfoque remozó su prejuicio diferenciador, y el formato recurrió al tratado, al informe, y la literatura. En el presente libro se analizan algunas muestras representativas de este proceso cultural acaecido en la época novohispana, pero detectable aún bajo las bases de nuestra idiosincrasia, a la luz de la teoría que Occidente había legado para comprender la presencia del mal y sus representantes en el mundo.

Download or read book Deconstructing the Model in 20th and 21st Century Italian Experimental Writings written by Beppe Cavatorta and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of original analyses of experimental works that exist well outside of the established territory inhabited by the Italian literary canon, or which purposely position themselves at its margins, this volume proposes a new way to understand the goals of literary experimentation as a means to break the canon and give literature the same freedom that is easily granted to other arts. This serves to allow literature itself to intersect with those other art forms, while enhancing the powerful and positive outcomes of literary experimentation. Specifically, the volume explores a series of 20th- and 21st-century Italian works that are characterized by a non-normative approach to language or the act of writing itself. The contributors, while addressing diverse writers, and often even adopting different theoretical interpretations of experimentalism itself, all analyze the intersection between experimental literatures and other art forms, as well as cross-disciplinary and non-traditional approaches to the theme of experimentation.

Download or read book EL VERDADERO DIABLO written by Duncan Heaster and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El origen esencial del mal y del pecado humano es en verdad una pregunta profunda; pero sólo cuando la enfrentamos nos sentimos capacitados para encargarnos del pecado y del mal, y encontrar un camino de victoria. Culpar de todo a un Diablo personal con cuernos, cola y tridente me parece que es una forma de escapismo, de evadir el asunto, recurriendo rápidamente a una respuesta simplista, pero equivocada. Especialmente cuando se ha entendido que realmente esta idea del Diablo no se halla en ningún pasaje de la Biblia, sino que es más bien una acumulación de siglos de especulación y adaptación de mitos paganos. En el capítulo 1, procuro demostrar que esto es en verdad lo que ha sucedido. En todo ese capítulo y en los que siguen, procuro demostrar cómo el pueblo de Dios lamentablemente aceptó muchos de los mitos circundantes acerca de una figura de Satanás; pero los escritores de la Biblia procuraron activamente deconstruir los mitos por medio de aludir a ellos y dejar al descubierto su falacia.

Download or read book Ancient Beliefs and Customs of the Tagalogs written by Jean-Paul G. POTET and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a provisional essay, followed by a vocabulary and an index, on the Tagalogs' world view in the Sixteenth Century. It is mainly based on the entries of the earliest dictionaries of the Tagalog language. These were written by Spanish lexicographers about half-a-century after the conquest of the Philippines (Cebu 1565, Manila 1571). Additional data are drawn from Spanish chronicles. Many of the recorded beliefs and customs were already obsolete at the turn of the Seventeenth Century. Some are extremely surprising, starting from the primeval myth according to which the world had no solid land at its beginning, but only two fluids, water and air.
