Book Renaissance Papers 2023

Download or read book Renaissance Papers 2023 written by James M. Pearce and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Papers collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. This volume examines the sacred and the profane in the early modern period. The 2023 volume features essays from the conference held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as essays submitted directly to the journal. The opening essay juxtaposes Socratic irony and Hermeticism in its exploration of the Neoplatonic influences in Spenser's Faerie Queene. It is followed by three analyses of religious poems; the first demonstrates the ways in which William Baldwin resurrects Edward the sixth in his "Funeralles of King Edward" to promote his own evangelical agenda; the second takes a close look at Herrick's "Rex Tragicus," arguing that it is a powerful expression of "English religious identity." The final essay in this group seeks to complicate the history of the early modern female sonneteer. Returning to the secular, the next essay compares a work by Polish writer Andrzej Modrzewski to Sir Thomas More's Utopia. Art history is the focus of the following triad of essays, which illuminate the visual cultures of the Netherlands and Spain; they address the collaborative organization of the Spanish sculptor Alonso Berruguete's workshop, the related phenomenon of fiction, faith, and spectacle in Maarten van Heemskerck's religious imagery, and the political dimensions of the aesthetics of Habsburg portraiture. The volume concludes with an exuberant analysis of the role of fiction in the art of biographical writing, using the example of Katherine Rundell's Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne. Contributors: Sunmin Cha, Ilenia Colón Mendoza, Scott Lucas, Gerardo Rappazzo Amura, Mary Ruth Robinson, Jesse Russell, Paul J. Stapleton, John Wall, Vaclav Zheng.

Book San Jos   S  nchez del R  o y m  rtires de M  xico

Download or read book San Jos S nchez del R o y m rtires de M xico written by Luis Laureán Cervantes and published by Encuentro. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joselito, como llaman en su tierra mexicana a san José Sánchez del Río, mártir a los catorce años, es uno de los más jóvenes del Martirologio católico. También es de los más recientes, declarado santo por el papa Francisco en 2016. Sin llegar a empuñar las armas, no temió arriesgar su vida por Cristo y por la Iglesia, uniéndose a los cristeros en el convulso México de hace cien años. ¿Qué pasó para que muchos católicos se alzaran contra el gobierno? ¿Fue legítima la guerra de los cristeros? El autor de este libro, natural del pueblo del joven mártir, no sólo responde a estas preguntas con documentos, sino que logra describir el ambiente que se vivía en Sahuayo dejando hablar a testigos directos de los hechos. A las decenas de miles víctimas causadas por la guerra, se suman en torno a 500 sacerdotes y no pocos católicos laicos asesinados por odio a la fe. La Iglesia ha reconocido ya como mártires a 40 de ellos, que también son presentados en este libro. En el siglo XX, en México, a causa del liberalismo radical —en otros lugares, bajo otros signos ideológicos— la sangre de los cristianos fue derramada sobre el altar del utópico ídolo moderno del «progreso». ¡Mártires de la esperanza!

Book The Routledge Companion to Ethics  Politics and Organizations

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Ethics Politics and Organizations written by Alison Pullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations synthesizes and extends existing research on ethics in organizations by explicitly focusing on ‘ethico-politics’ - where ethics informs political action. It draws connections between ethics and politics in and around organizations and the workplace, examines cutting-edge areas and sets the scene for future research. Through a wealth of international and multidisciplinary contributions this volume considers the broad range of ways in which ethics and politics can be conceived and understood. The chapters look at various ethical traditions, as well as the discursive deployment of ethical terminology in organizational settings, and they also examine large scale political structures and processes and how they relate to different forms of politics which affect behaviour in organizations. These many possibilities are united by a focus on how ethics can be used to inform and justify the exercise of power in organizations. This collection will be a valuable reference source for students and researchers across the disciplines of organizational studies, ethics and politics.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Vicente Calderón cumple 50 años, pero el Atlético de Madrid tiene más de 113 años de historia en los que fue acomodándose en distintas casas que ayudaron a su evolución. 50 años del Vicente Calderón nos sitúa en los campos en los que jugó antes de llegar a la ribera del Manzanares. Conoceremos los proyectos, sueños e ilusiones de los directivos que hicieron grande al Atlético, descubriremos la intrahistoria de la salida del Metropolitano y los obstáculos que hubo para culminar la obra del nuevo estadio. Un trabajo periodístico, riguroso y documentado que contextualiza el porqué de algunas decisiones que, en su momento, no fueron entendidas por los aficionados y desgastaron a personajes importantes en la historia, como Javier Barroso. Descubriremos a Vicente Calderón. Sabremos quién era y cómo llegó a manejar la nave rojiblanca; profundizaremos en su figura, en su personalidad, en su amor por el Atlético de Madrid. Sabremos más del estadio, de sus trasformaciones, de sus instalaciones, de su evolución en el mundo del fútbol, su aportación y todos sus rincones. También hablaremos de pasión y de los momentos históricos vividos en el césped. Recordaremos a los grandes jugadores, los grandes partidos, las grandes victorias y alguna que otra decepción. En definitiva, la vida de un campo contada por los que sudaron allí la camiseta. Pero el Calderón es mucho más que fútbol. Es también un templo de la música. Nos vamos a sumergir en la intrahistoria de los grandes eventos realizados en estos 50 años. Si el Calderón está en el centro del mundo futbolístico, también es un referente musical a nivel mundial. Por él han pasado los más grandes y muchas generaciones de fans han vibrado allí con sus ídolos. El Calderón cumple 50 años. Pasa sin miedo. Todo el que entra sale enamorado.

Book Between Exaltation and Infamy

Download or read book Between Exaltation and Infamy written by Stephen Haliczer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day in 1599, in the Spanish village of Saria, seven-year-old Maria Angela Astorch fell ill and died after gorging herself on unripened almonds. Maria's sister Isabel, a nun, came to view the body with her mother superior, an ecstatic mystic and visionary named Maria Angela Serafina. Overcome by the sight of the dead girl's innocent face, Serafina began to pray fervently for the return of the child's soul to her body. Entering a trance, she had a vision in which the Virgin Mary gave her a sign. At once little Maria Angela started to show signs of life. A moment later she scrambled to the ground and was soon restored to perfect health. During the Counter-Reformation, the Church was confronted by an extraordinary upsurge of feminine religious enthusiasm like that of Serafina. Inspired by new translations of the lives of the saints, devout women all over Catholic Europe sought to imitate these "athletes of Christ" through extremes of self-abnegation, physical mortification, and devotion. As in the Middle Ages, such women's piety often took the form of ecstatic visions, revelations, voices and stigmata. Stephen Haliczer offers a comprehensive portrait of women's mysticism in Golden Age Spain, where this enthusiasm was nearly a mass movement. The Church's response, he shows, was welcoming but wary, and the Inquisition took on the task of winnowing out frauds and imposters. Haliczer draws on fifteen cases brought by the Inquisition against women accused of "feigned sanctity," and on more than two dozen biographies and autobiographies. The key to acceptance, he finds, lay in the orthodoxy of the woman's visions and revelations. He concludes that mysticism offered women a way to transcend, though not to disrupt, the control of the male-dominated Church.
