Download or read book Historia de la Iglesia en Hispanoam rica y Filipinas siglos XV XIX Aspectos generales written by Pedro Borges and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de la Iglesia en Hispanoamérica y Filipinas durante la época española está necesitada de una visión de conjunto que, superando la brevedad de un esbozo, la sintetice sin incurrir en prolijidad. Tal es el objetivo que persiguen estos dos volúmenes, cuya concepción obedece al criterio de que el lector culto, el investigador no especializado en este campo e incluso los alumnos de centros de estudios superiores dispongan de un instrumento de lectura, de consulta o de estudio que les oriente en el planteamiento, en el enfoque y en el actual estado de conocimiento de los diversos aspectos de esa historia, cronológicamente breve, temática-mente complicada e ideológicamente controvertida. El primer volumen no es una introducción al segundo, ni éste es una continuación de aquél. El primero está concebido como una amplia y desmenuzada síntesis de los numerosos aspectos que ofrece la historia en América y Filipinas, a fin de proporcionar una idea suficientemente fundada del funcionamiento y actividad de esta institución. Con él queda básicamente trazada la historia de la Iglesia en el espacio geográfico señalado. Si a este primer volumen se le ha adicionado el segundo no es porque el primero sea algo incompleto, sino porque las conveniencias históricas y las necesidades del mundo hispanoamericano y filipino aconsejan dejar en claro cómo se plasmaron las variadas facetas de la Iglesia, aludidas anterior-mente, en las diversas naciones o regiones que hoy constituyen el antiguo Nuevo Mundo. Esta faceta de lo nacional o regional es lo que ha inducido a que los colaboradores del segundo volumen sean en su mayoría naturales o residentes de la nación que historian, criterio del que solamente se ha prescindido cuando las circunstancias han obliga-do involuntariamente a ello y que en el primero no se ha tenido en cuenta por la índole supranacional de los temas. Es de esperar que con la presente Historia, por la autoridad que al tratamiento de cada tema le otorga la reconocida preparación de los diversos auto-res, sirva de punto de partida para enfocar en adelante correctamente la actividad de la Iglesia en Hispanoamérica y Filipinas encuadrándola debidamente en lo que por lo general se desconoce: el verdadero ambiente y las auténticas dimensiones en las que se desarrolló esa actividad.

Book The Jesuits

    Book Details:
  • Author : John W. O'Malley
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2016-01-28
  • ISBN : 1487511930
  • Pages : 804 pages

Download or read book The Jesuits written by John W. O'Malley and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years scholars in a range of disciplines have begun to re-evaluate the history of the Society of Jesus. Approaching the subject with new questions and methods, they have reconsidered the importance of the Society in many sectors, including those related to the sciences and the arts. They have also looked at the Jesuits as emblematic of certain traits of early modern Europeans, especially as those Europeans interacted with 'the Other' in Asia and the Americas. Originating in an international conference held at Boston College in 1997, the thirty-five essays here reflect this new historiographical trend. Focusing on the Old Society- the Society before its suppression in 1773 by papal edict- they examine the worldwide Jesuit undertaking in such fields as music, art, architecture, devotional writing, mathematics, physics, astronomy, natural history, public performance, and education, and they give special attention to the Jesuits' interaction with non-European cultures, in North and South America, China, India, and the Philippines. A picture emerges not only of the individual Jesuit, who might be missionary, diplomat, architect, and playwright over the course of his life in the Society, but also of the immense and many-faceted Jesuit enterprise as forming a kind of 'cultural ecosystem'. The Jesuits of the Old Society liked to think they had a way of proceeding special to themselves. The question, Was there a Jesuit style, a Jesuit corporate culture? is the thread that runs through this interdisciplinary collection of studies.

Book The King s Living Image

    Book Details:
  • Author : Alejandro Caneque
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-04-15
  • ISBN : 113594508X
  • Pages : 418 pages

Download or read book The King s Living Image written by Alejandro Caneque and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To rule their vast new American territories, the Spanish monarchs appointed viceroys in an attempt to reproduce the monarchical system of government prevailing at the time in Europe. But despite the political significance of the figure of the viceroy, little is known about the mechanisms of viceregal power and its relation to ideas of kingship. Examining this figure, The King's Living Image challenges long-held perspectives on the political nature of Spanish colonialism, recovering, at the same time, the complexity of the political discourses and practices of Spanish rule. It does so by studying the viceregal political culture that developed in New Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the mechanisms, both formal and informal, of viceregal rule. In so doing, The King's Living Image questions the very existence of a "colonial state" and contends that imperial power was constituted in ritual ceremonies. It also emphasizes the viceroys' significance in carrying out the civilizing mission of the Spanish monarchy with regard to the indigenous population. The King's Living Image will redefine the ways in which scholars have traditionally looked at the viceregal administration in colonial Mexico.

Book Franciscan Spirituality and Mission in New Spain  1524 1599

Download or read book Franciscan Spirituality and Mission in New Spain 1524 1599 written by Steven E. Turley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franciscans in sixteenth-century New Spain were deeply ambivalent about their mission work. Fray Juan de Zumárraga, the first archbishop of Mexico, begged the king to find someone else to do his job so that he could go home. Fray Juan de Ribas, one of the original twelve 'apostles of Mexico' and a founding pillar of the church in New Spain, later fled with eleven other friars into the wilderness to escape the demands of building that church. Fray Jerónimo de Mendieta, having returned from an important preaching tour in New Spain, wrote to his superior that he did not want to enlist again, and that the only way he would return to the mission field was if God dragged him by the hair. This discontent was widespread, grew stronger with time, and carried important consequences for the friars' interactions with indigenous peoples, their Catholic co-laborers, and colonial society at large. This book examines that discontent and seeks to explain why the exhilaration of joining such a 'glorious' enterprise so often gave way to grinding discontent. The core argument is that, despite St. Francis's own longing to do mission work, his followers in New Spain found that effective evangelization in a frontier context was fundamentally incompatible with their core spirituality. Bringing together two streams of historiography that have rarely overlapped - spirituality and missions - this book marks a strong contribution to the history of spirituality in both Latin America and Europe, as well as to the growing fields of transatlantic and world history.

Book The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America written by Virginia Garrard-Burnett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region's religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.

Book The Lawyer of the Church

    Book Details:
  • Author : Pablo Mijangos y Gonzalez
  • Publisher : U of Nebraska Press
  • Release : 2015-06
  • ISBN : 0803276648
  • Pages : 383 pages

Download or read book The Lawyer of the Church written by Pablo Mijangos y Gonzalez and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico's Reforma, the mid-nineteenth-century liberal revolution, decisively shaped the country by disestablishing the Catholic Church, secularizing public affairs, and laying the foundations of a truly national economy and culture. The Lawyer of the Church is an examination of the Mexican clergy's response to the Reforma through a study of the life and works of Bishop Clemente de Jesús Munguía (1810-68), one of the most influential yet least-known figures of the period. By analyzing how Munguía responded to changing political and intellectual scenarios in defense of the clergy's legal prerogatives and social role, Pablo Mijangos y González argues that the Catholic Church opposed the liberal revolution not because of its supposed attachment to a bygone past but rather because of its efforts to supersede colonial tradition and refashion itself within a liberal yet confessional state. With an eye on the international influences and dimensions of the Mexican church-state conflict, The Lawyer of the Church also explores how Mexican bishops gradually tightened their relationship with the Holy See and simultaneously managed to incorporate the papacy into their local affairs, thus paving the way for the eventual "Romanization" of Mexican Catholicism during the later decades of the century.

Book Literary Culture and U S  Imperialism

Download or read book Literary Culture and U S Imperialism written by John Carlos Rowe and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Carlos Rowe, considered one of the most eminent and progressive critics of American literature, has in recent years become instrumental in shaping the path of American studies. His latest book examines literary responses to U.S. imperialism from the late eighteenth century to the 1940s. Interpreting texts by Charles Brockden Brown, Poe, Melville, John Rollin Ridge, Twain, Henry Adams, Stephen Crane, W. E. B Du Bois, John Neihardt, Nick Black Elk, and Zora Neale Hurston, Rowe argues that U.S. literature has a long tradition of responding critically or contributing to our imperialist ventures. Following in the critical footsteps of Richard Slotkin and Edward Said, Literary Culture and U.S. Imperialism is particularly innovative in taking account of the public and cultural response to imperialism. In this sense it could not be more relevant to what is happening in the scholarship, and should be vital reading for scholars and students of American literature and culture.
