Download or read book Baroque Horrors written by David Castillo and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Castillo takes us on a tour of some horrific materials that have rarely been considered together. He sheds a fantastical new light on the baroque." ---Anthony J. Cascardi, University of California Berkeley "Baroque Horrors is a textual archeologist's dream, scavenged from obscure chronicles, manuals, minor histories, and lesser-known works of major artists. Castillo finds tales of mutilation, mutation, monstrosity, murder, and mayhem, and delivers them to us with an inimitable flair for the sensational that nonetheless rejects sensationalism because it remains so grounded in historical fact." ---William Egginton, Johns Hopkins University "Baroque Horrors is a major contribution to baroque ideology, as well as an exploration of the grotesque, the horrible, the fantastic. Castillo organizes his monograph around the motif of curiosity, refuting the belief that Spain is a country incapable of organized scientific inquiry." ---David Foster, Arizona State University Baroque Horrors turns the current cultural and political conversation from the familiar narrative patterns and self-justifying allegories of abjection to a dialogue on the history of our modern fears and their monstrous offspring. When life and death are severed from nature and history, "reality" and "authenticity" may be experienced as spectator sports and staged attractions, as in the "real lives" captured by reality TV and the "authentic cadavers" displayed around the world in the Body Worlds exhibitions. Rather than thinking of virtual reality and staged authenticity as recent developments of the postmodern age, Castillo looks back to the Spanish baroque period in search for the roots of the commodification of nature and the horror vacui that accompanies it. Aimed at specialists, students, and readers of early modern literature and culture in the Spanish and Anglophone traditions as well as anyone interested in horror fantasy, Baroque Horrors offers new ways to rethink broad questions of intellectual and political history and relate them to the modern age. David Castillo is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.

Download or read book Sex Identity and Hermaphrodites in Iberia 1500 1800 written by Francisco Vazquez Garcia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern European thought held that men and women were essentially the same. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal arguments began to turn against this ‘one-sex’ model, with hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought in northern Europe.
Download or read book Tratado de la redondez de la tierra written by Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta es la primera edicion critica en espanol del Tratado sobre la redondez de la Tierra, ensayo cosmologico y geografico nacido de la "ciencia infusa" (conocimento transmitido por la divinidad), atribuido a Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda (Agreda, Soria, Espana, 1602-1665). Maria Coronel de Arana es posiblemente una de las figuras mas misteriosas y controvertidas de la Edad Moderna. No solo como personaje historico o literario, su vida y su obra reunen numerosos aspectos aun por descifrar que han dado lugar a una sugerente mitologia cultural de dimension transatlantica, abierta a sumar nuevas interpretaciones y significados. Figura politica, teologica y legendaria, Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda se transforma en un significante cultural que no deja de acumular capas de sentido. Una de ellas, todavia poco explorada, es la atribucion del Tratado sobre la redondez de la tierra. Este volumen indaga en las razones para la atribucion a Sor Maria de Jesus, considerando su dimension de imagen cultural y transoceanica que rebasa la individualidad concreta. Tratamos diferentes aspectos de la vida, la obra, el contexto cultural y la tradicion desde la que se la leyo y puede leerse tambien en el siglo XXI. El Tratado se enmarca en el espacio de produccion cultural femenina conventual, sin el que no puede entenderse la figura de la autora, ni la escritura de mujeres en la epoca, no solo observando los generos mas conocidos del convento, sino una tradicion todavia por recuperar: la del conocimiento cientifico, que, aunque presente entre sus muros, apenas ha recibido atencion critica.
Download or read book Hermaphroditism Medical Science and Sexual Identity in Spain 18501960 written by Richard Cleminson and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2009-10-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English to analyse the medical category of 'hermaphroditism' in Spain over the period 1850-1960. It attempts to show how the relationship between the male and female body, biological 'sex', gender and sexuality constantly changed in the light of emerging medical, legal and social influences. Tracing the evolution of the hermaphrodite from its association with the 'marvellous' to the association with intersexuality and transexuality, this book emphasizes how the frameworks employed by scientists and doctors reflected not only changing international paradigms with respect to 'hermaphrodite science' but also social anxieties about shifting gender roles, the evolving discourse on sexuality and, in particular, the increased visibility of the 'sexual deviancies' such as homosexuality and changing legislation on marriage and divorce. Finally, we hope to open a space whereby the voice of 'hermaphrodites' and 'intersexuals' themselves could be heard in the past as agents in the construction of their own destiny as figures deemed 'in-between' by medicine and society.
Download or read book Lorca After Life written by Noël Valis and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reflection on Federico García Lorca’s life, his haunting death, and the fame that reinvigorated the marvelous in the modern world “A galaxy of critical insights into the cultural shock waves circling and crisscrossing Lorca’s execution and his unknown resting place, there is not a single book on Lorca like this one.”—Andrés Zamora, Vanderbilt University There is something fundamentally unfinished about the life and work of Federico García Lorca (1898–1936), and not simply because his life ended abruptly. Noël Valis reveals how this quality gives shape to the ways in which he has been continuously re-imagined since his death. Lorca’s execution at the start of the Spanish Civil War was not only horrific but transformative, setting in motion many of the poet’s afterlives. He is intimately tied to both an individual and a collective identity, as the people’s poet, a gay icon, and fabled member of a dead poets’ society. The specter of his violent death continues to haunt everything connected to Lorca, fueling the desire to fill in the gaps in the poet’s biography.

Download or read book Histories of the Normal and the Abnormal written by Waltraud Ernst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating volume tackles the history of the terms 'normal' and 'abnormal'. Originally meaning 'as occurring in nature', normality has taken on significant cultural gravitas and this book recognizes and explores that fact. The essays engage with the concepts of the normal and the abnormal from the perspectives of a variety of academic disciplines – ranging from art history to social history of medicine, literature, and science studies to sociology and cultural anthropology. The contributors use as their conceptual anchors the works of moral and political philosophers such as Canguilhem, Foucault and Hacking, as well as the ideas put forward by sociologists including Durkheim and Illich. With contributions from a range of scholars across differing disciplines, this book will have a broad appeal to students in many areas of history.
