Download or read book Representing Women s Political Identity in the Early Modern Iberian World written by Jeremy Roe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring textual, visual and material culture, this volume presents a range of new research into the experiences, agencies and diverse political identities of Iberian women between the fifteenth and early-eighteenth century. Representing Women’s Political Identity in the Early Modern Iberian World explores how the political identities of Iberian women were represented in various forms of visual culture including: religious paintings and portraiture; costume; and devotional and funerary sculpture. This study examines the transmission of Iberian culture and its concepts of identity to locations such as Peru, Goa and Mexico, providing a rich insight into Iberia’s complex history and legacy. The collection of essays explores the lives of protagonists, which vary from queens and members of the nobility to painters and nuns, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of both the elite and non-elite woman’s experience in Spain, Portugal and their overseas realms during the early modern period. By addressing the significance of gender alongside the visual representation of political ideology and identity, this book is an invaluable source for students and researchers of early modern Iberia and the history of women.

Download or read book Seeing Politics Otherwise written by Patricia I. Vieira and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When confronting twentieth-century political oppression and violence, writers and artists in Portugal and South America have often emphasized the complex relationship between freedom and tyranny. In Seeing Politics Otherwise, Patricia Vieira uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore the interrelation of politics and representations of vision and blindness in Latin American and Iberian literature, film, and art. Vieira's discussion focuses on three literary works: Graciliano Ramos's Memoirs of Prison, Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden, and José Saramago's Blindness, with supplemental analyses of sculpture and film by Ana Maria Pacheco, Bruno Barreto, and Marco Bechis. These artists use metaphors of blindness to denounce the totalizing gaze of dictatorial regimes. Rather than equating blindness with deprivation, Vieira argues that shadows, blindfolds, and blindness are necessary elements for re-imagining the political world and re-acquiring a political voice. Seeing Politics Otherwise offers a compelling analysis of vision and its forcible deprivation in the context of art and political protest.
Download or read book By Heart de Memoria written by María de los Angeles Torres and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving account of the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath, eleven women who lived through it as children or young adults recall the events of the last forty years. In Torres's words, This book, which began in Miami, looking toward the island, ends on the island as it gazes toward the exile community. These poets, artists and scholars represent each post-revolution exile generation. Some left Cuba in the Peter Pan airlift, some left afterward, some never left at all. Others - like the editor - left as children only to return and leave again, disillusioned with both the exile community and with Castro's island. Together they testify to the powerful intersections of memory, politics, nation, and exile.

Download or read book Estudio de la memoria y la orientaci n espacial en el ser humano written by María Rosa Cánovas López and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La memoria espacial es la parte de la memoria encargada del recuerdo de toda la información que tiene que ver con el espacio en el que nos movemos y nuestro lugar dentro del mismo, por lo que resulta una de las funciones clave para poder desenvolvernos en nuestro día a día. Los estudios realizados con modelos animales en diversos paradigmas de aprendizaje, como la piscina de Morris y el laberinto radial, han aportado la mayor parte del conocimiento que tenemos en la actualidad sobre la memoria y la orientación espacial, proporcionando además pruebas irrefutables del papel crítico que desempeña la formación hipocampal en estas habilidades cognitivas. Desafortunadamente, las tareas de orientación espacial en humanos permanecieron poco desarrolladas hasta hace relativamente pocos años. Un acontecimiento clave para el progreso en su estudio fueron los avances en el desarrollo de las técnicas de realidad virtual, las cuales han permitido la creación de entornos virtuales en los que investigar la cognición espacial destacando aquellos entornos que se basan en paradigmas de aprendizaje utilizados en roedores. Estas tareas han demostrado ser sensibles no sólo en la medición de la orientación espacial en humanos, sino también al efecto que ejercen sobre la misma las lesiones o alteraciones hipocampales, incluso las modificaciones hipocampales menores como las existentes entre individuos de distinto sexo. Sin embargo, una de las mayores desventajas de las tareas desarrolladas hasta la fecha es la limitada capacidad de regulación de los niveles de dificultad de la tarea a las capacidades de la muestra de estudio. El trabajo de la presente tesis doctoral se ha orientado al desarrollo y validación de una novedosa tarea de realidad virtual denominada la "Sala de las Cajas", basada en modelos animales que permite regular la dificultad y facilita la comparativa entre especies. A lo largo de los cuatro estudios que componen la presente tesis doctoral se demuestra que la "Sala de las Cajas" constituye una herramienta fiable, fácil de administrar y de rápida adquisición para la investigación del aprendizaje y la memoria espacial en humanos. Los resultados confirman la utilidad de adaptar la dificultad de la tarea a las características de la muestra de estudio. En este sentido, se demuestra que las diferencias entre ciertas poblaciones y condiciones ambientales sólo emergen ante niveles adecuados de dificultad. Además, la tarea permite configurar las características del entorno, demostrando que el número y la localización de las pistas disponibles son importantes atributos a considerar en la investigación de la navegación espacial humana. La validez de la tarea se ha visto confirmada primero por la correlación positiva de la "Sala de las Cajas" con la adaptación virtual de la piscina de Morris, uno de los paradigmas más empleados para el estudio de la memoria espacial y la navegación en humanos y roedores; segundo, al demostrar, en un estudio realizado con pacientes con lesiones del lóbulo temporal, que el hipocampo es esencial para la correcta ejecución de la tarea en línea con otros estudios en animales y humanos y, por último, al revelar también nuestra tarea el dimorfismo sexual ampliamente constatado en memoria espacial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few events have stirred the emotions and caught the imaginations of intellectuals as did the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. The Spanish Civil War in Literature examines the diverse literatures that the war inspired: a literature relating directly to the war, a literature of exile arising from the forty-year dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and a polemical literature embracing pro-Franco and Loyalist sympathies.In this book, specialists from a variety of fields explore these literatures within comparative and interdisciplinary frameworks. They reflect upon film, poetry, novels, painting, discourse, biography, and propaganda. The essays are grouped according to the original languages of the works they discuss—French, Russian, English, and Spanish.
Download or read book Dwellers of Memory written by Pilar Riano-Alcala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political, drug-related, and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and, cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows. The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make, sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. The violence has not completely taken over their cultural worlds or their subjectivities. Practices of remembering and forgetting are key methods by which these youth rework their identities and make sense of the impact of violence on their lives. While the experience of violence is rooted in urban space and urban youth, the memory dwellers use a sense of place, oral histories of death, and narratives of fear as survival strategies for inhabiting violent neighborhoods. The book also examines fissures in memory, the contradictory constructions of young people's subjective selves, and practices of gendered violence and terror. All have and continue to pose risks to the historical memory and cultural survival of the residents of Medellin. Dwellers of Memory offers an alternative ethnographic approach to the study of memory and violence, one that calls into question whether the, role of the ethnographer of violence is to be a mere witness of terror, or to oppose it by writing against it. It will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and students of, ethnography.
Download or read book A Political History of Spanish written by José Del Valle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish is spoken as a first language by almost 400 million people in approximately 60 countries, and has been the subject of numerous political processes and debates since it began to spread globally from Iberia in the thirteenth century. A Political History of Spanish brings together a team of experts to analyze the metalinguistic origins of Spanish and evaluate it as a discursively constructed artefact; that is to say, as a language which contains traces of the society in which it is produced, and of the discursive traditions that are often involved and invoked in its creation. This is a comprehensive and provocative new work which takes a fresh look at Spanish from specific political and historical perspectives, combining the traditional chronological organization of linguistic history and spatial categories such as Iberia, Latin America and the US, whilst simultaneously identifying the limits of these organizational principles.
Download or read book Living the Death of Democracy in Spain written by Susana Belenguer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together new interdisciplinary perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, its victims, its contentious ending, and its aftermath. In exploring the slow demise of the Spanish Republic and the course of the Civil War, the authors have chosen to range in turn over cinematic, literary and historical depictions of the era. In addition, reactions elsewhere in Europe to the Spanish conflict are examined; the role of the International Brigades is looked at afresh; the fate of children displaced during the Civil War is explored; and the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement is revisited. The volume shows that to be any kind of soldier in the armies of the Republic, or even to be seen as a Republican sympathiser, was to become a "non-person" in the new order in Spain under Franco, and sets what supporters of the Republic had to endure within the wider European and international context of the period. This book offers timely fresh insights into the failure of the Spanish Republic and into a society that tried in vain to unite its divided people during what was a seismic era in Spain’s history. This book was originally published as a special issue of Bulletin of Spanish Studies.
Download or read book The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction written by Linda Gordon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1904, New York nuns brought forty Irish orphans to a remote Arizona mining camp, to be placed with Catholic families. The Catholic families were Mexican, as was the majority of the population. Soon the town's Anglos, furious at this "interracial" transgression, formed a vigilante squad that kidnapped the children and nearly lynched the nuns and the local priest. The Catholic Church sued to get its wards back, but all the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled in favor of the vigilantes. The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction tells this disturbing and dramatic tale to illuminate the creation of racial boundaries along the Mexican border. Clifton/Morenci, Arizona, was a "wild West" boomtown, where the mines and smelters pulled in thousands of Mexican immigrant workers. Racial walls hardened as the mines became big business and whiteness became a marker of superiority. These already volatile race and class relations produced passions that erupted in the "orphan incident." To the Anglos of Clifton/Morenci, placing a white child with a Mexican family was tantamount to child abuse, and they saw their kidnapping as a rescue. Women initiated both sides of this confrontation. Mexican women agreed to take in these orphans, both serving their church and asserting a maternal prerogative; Anglo women believed they had to "save" the orphans, and they organized a vigilante squad to do it. In retelling this nearly forgotten piece of American history, Linda Gordon brilliantly recreates and dissects the tangled intersection of family and racial values, in a gripping story that resonates with today's conflicts over the "best interests of the child."
Download or read book Museums Exhibitions and Memories of Violence in Colombia written by Jimena Perry and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how recent Colombian historical memories are informed by cultural diversity and how some of the country’s citizens remember the brutalities committed by the Army, guerrillas, and paramilitaries during the internal war (1980-2016). Its chapters delve into four case studies. The first highlights the selections of what not to remember and what not to represent at the National Museum of the country. The second focuses on the well-received memories at the same institution by examining a display made to commemorate the assassination of a demobilized guerrilla fighter. The third discusses how a rural marginal community decided to vividly remember the attacks they experienced by creating a display hall to aid in their collective and individual healing. Lastly, the fourth case study, also about a rural peripheric community, discusses their way of remembering, which emphasizes peasant oral traditions through a traveling venue. By bringing violence, memory, and museum studies together, this text contributes to our understanding of how social groups severely impacted by atrocities recreate and remember their violent experiences. By drawing on displays, newspapers, interviews, catalogs, and oral histories, Jimena Perry shows how museums and exhibitions in Colombia become politically active subjects in the acts of reflection and mourning, and how they foster new relationships between the state and society. This volume is of great use to students and scholars interested in Latin American and public history.
