Download or read book C mo ser una mujer del Renacimiento written by Jill Burke and published by Editorial Crítica. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una historia alternativa del Renacimiento contada por las mujeres detrás de las pinturas. Belleza, maquillaje, arte, poder: Cómo ser una mujer en el Renacimiento presenta una historia alternativa de este fascinante período contada por las mujeres detrás de las pinturas. El Renacimiento fue una época obsesionada por las apariencias: el mundo visual se pobló de desnudos de la mano de artistas como Miguel Ángel y Tiziano y emergió una vibrante escena literaria alrededor de consejos de belleza, cosméticos y adornos. Jill Burke nos lleva desde las bulliciosas plazas del mercado italiano hasta los niveles más altos de la sociedad renacentista para acercarnos a las vidas de cortesanas, artistas, actrices y escritoras que se labraron un espacio propio, así como aquellas que ganaron poder e influencia en el despiadado mundo de la corte o las que se rebelaron contra las restricciones de su época en un momento en el que las valoraciones sobre los cuerpos y el color de la piel estaban en el punto de mira debido al contexto colonial. Esta vívida exploración de la vida íntima de las mujeres renacentistas nos invita a cuestionar las ideas de tenemos sobre nuestro propio cuerpo a la vez que desentraña los orígenes de los ideales de belleza que todavía nos acompañan en la actualidad. «Nunca verás los retratos del Renacimiento de la misma manera.» Maggie O'Farrell, autora de Hamnet y El retrato de casada

This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia draws on recent research to underscore the various ways Iberian women influenced and contributed to their communities, engaging with a broader academic discussion of women’s agency and cultural impact in the Iberian Peninsula. By focusing on women from across the socioeconomic and religious spectrum—elite, bourgeois, and peasant Christian women, Jewish, Muslim, converso, and Morisco women, and married, widowed, and single women—this volume highlights the diversity of women’s experiences, examining women’s social, economic, political, and religious ties to their families and communities in both urban and rural environments. Comprised of twelve essays from both established and new scholars, Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia showcases groundbreaking work on premodern women, revealing the complex intersections between gender and community while highlighting not only relationships of support and inclusion but also the tensions that worked to marginalize and exclude women.

Download or read book An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain written by Adrienne Laskier Martín and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern Spanish literature is remarkably rich in erotic texts that conventionally chaste critical traditions have willfully disregarded or repudiated as inferior or unworthy of study. Nonetheless, eroticism is a lightning rod for defining mentalities and social, intellectual, and literary history within the nascent field that the author calls erotic philology. An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain takes sexuality and eroticism out of the historical closet, placing them at the forefront of early modern humanistic studies. By utilizing theories of deviance, sexuality, and gender; the rhetoric of eroticism; and textual criticism, An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain historicizes and analyzes the particular ways in which classical Spanish writers assign symbolic meaning to non-normative sexual practices and their practitioners. It shows how prostitutes, homosexuals, transvestites, women warriors, and female tricksters were stigmatized and marginalized as part of an ordering principle in the law, society, and in literature. It is against these sexual outlaws that early modern orthodoxy establishes and identifies itself during the Golden Age of Spanish letters. These eroticized figures are recurring objects of contemplation and fascination for Spain's most canonical as well as lesser known writers of the period, in a variety of poetic, prose and dramatic genres. They ultimately reveal attitudes towards sexual behavior that are far more complex than was previously thought. An Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain thoughtfully anatomizes the interdisciplinary systems at the heart of the varied sexual behaviors depicted in early modern Spanish literature.
Download or read book A World Torn Apart written by Victoria Carpenter and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays derives from a conference on Violence, Culture and Identity held in St Andrews in June 2003. It is a contribution to the understanding of representations of violence in Latin American narrative. The collected essays are dedicated to the study of the problematic history of violence as a means of 'civilizing' the region: violence used by dictatorial regimes to eradicate the collective memory of their actions; violence as a result of the history of marginalizing segments of the population; sexual violence as an attempt at complete control of the victim. The essays establish a clear link between historical, political and literary constructs spanning the past five hundred years of Latin American history. Close readings of political texts, historical documents, prose, poetry and films employ identity theories, postcolonial discourse, and the principles of mimetic and sacrificial violence. The volume adds to the ongoing critical investigation of the relationship between Latin American history and narrative, and to the key role of representations of violence within that narrative tradition.
Download or read book Women Ethnicity and Nationalisms in Latin America written by Natividad Gutiérrez Chong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between gender and nationalism is a compelling issue that is receiving increasing coverage in the scholarly literature. With case studies covering Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia and Mexico, this is the first book to explore these links in the context of Latin America. It includes contributions from Latin American scholars to offer a unique and revealing view of the most important political and cultural issues. The work opens by outlining four dimensions in the relationship between gender and nationalism. These are: the contribution of women to nation building and their exclusion from it by the state and its institutions; the role of women in contemporary ethnic and nationalist movements; the place of the female body in the myths and traditions surrounding the nation; and the role of women in forging the intellectual and artistic culture of the nation. It then provides both theoretical and empirical explorations of these themes, with chapters covering the debate on multiculturalism and gender in the construction of the nation, the struggles of ethnic women to participate politically in their communities and studies of the first Mexican filmmaker, Mimi Derrba and the indigenous heroine Dolores Cacuango from Ecuador.

Download or read book Deza and Its Moriscos written by Patrick J. O'Banion and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bainton Prize for History and Theology Honorable Mention Deza and Its Moriscos addresses an incongruity in early modern Spanish historiography: a growing awareness of the importance played by Moriscos in Spanish society and culture alongside a dearth of knowledge about individuals or local communities. By reassessing key elements in the religious and social history of early modern Spain through the experience of the small Castilian town of Deza, Patrick J. O'Banion asserts the importance of local history in understanding large-scale historical events and challenges scholars to rethink how marginalized people of the past exerted their agency. Moriscos, baptized Muslims and their descendants, were pressured to convert to Christianity at the end of the Middle Ages but their mass baptisms led to fears about lingering crypto-Islamic activities. Many political and religious authorities, and many of the Moriscos' neighbors as well, concluded that the conversions had produced false Christians. Between 1609 and 1614 nearly all of Spain's Moriscos--some three hundred thousand individuals--were thus expelled from their homeland. Contrary to the assumptions of many modern scholars, rich source materials show the town's Morisco minority wielded remarkable social, economic, and political power. Drawing deeply on a diverse collection of archival material as well as early printed works, this study illuminates internal conflicts, external pressures brought to bear by the Inquisition, the episcopacy, and the crown, and the possibilities and limitations of negotiated communal life at the dawn of modernity.
Download or read book Beyond Spain s Borders written by Anne J. Cruz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prolific theatrical activity that abounded on the stages of early modern Europe demonstrates that drama was a genre that transcended national borders. The transnational character of early modern theater reflects the rich admixture of various dramatic traditions, such as Spain’s comedia and Italy’s commedia dell’arte, but also the transformations across cultures of Spanish novellas to French plays and English interludes. Of particular import to this study is the role that women and gender played in this cross-pollination of theatrical sources and practices. Contributors to the volume not only investigate the gendered effect of Spanish texts and literary types on English and French drama, they address the actual journeys of Spanish actresses to French theaters and of Italian actresses to the Spanish stage, while several emphasize the movement of royal women to various courts and their impact on theatrical activity in Spain and abroad. In their innovative focus on women’s participation and influence, the chapters in this volume illustrate the frequent yet little studied transnational and transcultural points of contact between Spanish theater and the national theaters of England, France, Austria, and Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra busca analizar cómo las relaciones de los sexos condicionan la evolución de las sociedades y la necesidad de que las mujeres encuentren, al fin, su espacio propio. Esta Historia de las mujeres responde a la necesidad de ceder la palabra a las mujeres. Alejadas, desde la Antigüedad, del escenario donde se enfrentan a los dueños del destino, reconstruir su historia significa describir su lento acceso a los medios de expresión y su conversión en persona que asume un papel protagonista. Este análisis implica, asimismo, que las relaciones entre los sexos condicionan los acontecimientos, o la evolución de las sociedades. No se buscan conclusiones tajantes sino que las mujeres encuentren, al fin, su espacio propio. Tomando la periodización habitual y el espacio del mundo occidental, esta obra se divide en cinco volúmenes independientes pero complementarios. Este segundo volumen aborda el cambio que para la mujer y su imagen supone la consolidación del cristianismo.
