Download or read book Braganza brooch written by Alicia Perea and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las obras de arte únicas provocan admiración, pero también dudas, porque se apartan de la norma, y recelos, por su excepcionalidad. Todos ellos son calificativos que cuadran con la fíbula Braganza, un broche de oro y esmalte, fechado en el siglo III a.C., que debió de pertenecer a un príncipe ibero que quiso representarse a sí mismo como héroe, desnudo, en la plenitud de la vida, con los atributos del guerrero, luchando contra un monstruo bicéfalo. La imagen es privilegio del aristócrata, para hacerse visible y respetable, para justificar su poder. La biografía más reciente de esta bellísima pieza de orfebrería helenística la sitúa, en un momento incierto del siglo XIX, en la colección de antigüedades de la familia real portuguesa de Braganza. Hacia 1950 pasa a una colección privada de Chicago. En los años setenta vuelve a Europa, donde se exhibe en Londres y Edimburgo, para ser discutida y admirada como objeto arqueológico raro, para el que los especialistas del momento no encuentran explicación; muchos de ellos la rechazan. Finalmente, en el año 2001 el Museo Británico la adquiere en subasta pública, y desde entonces forma parte de su exposición permanente. En el año 2007 la fíbula Braganza vuelve a viajar para reencontrarse con sus orígenes en la Península Ibérica. Será el motivo alrededor del que se monta la exposición "El Héroe y el Monstruo", en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid. Este regreso supuso dar a conocer al público español un objeto perdido de su patrimonio histórico. Porque la fíbula Braganza no es solo algo bello, sino que encierra gran cantidad de información social, económica e ideológica de nuestro remoto pasado. Para desvelar esos misterios un grupo de especialistas españoles e ingleses se reunieron e intercambiaron opiniones, dudas y certezas. El resultado es este volumen que incluye una apasionante trama de amor; un sorprendente estudio arqueométrico; el análisis de los usos y modos guerreros en la Europa del siglo III a.C.; la discusión de una escena magistral... y algún cuento maravilloso.

Download or read book EL VERDADERO DIABLO written by Duncan Heaster and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El origen esencial del mal y del pecado humano es en verdad una pregunta profunda; pero sólo cuando la enfrentamos nos sentimos capacitados para encargarnos del pecado y del mal, y encontrar un camino de victoria. Culpar de todo a un Diablo personal con cuernos, cola y tridente me parece que es una forma de escapismo, de evadir el asunto, recurriendo rápidamente a una respuesta simplista, pero equivocada. Especialmente cuando se ha entendido que realmente esta idea del Diablo no se halla en ningún pasaje de la Biblia, sino que es más bien una acumulación de siglos de especulación y adaptación de mitos paganos. En el capítulo 1, procuro demostrar que esto es en verdad lo que ha sucedido. En todo ese capítulo y en los que siguen, procuro demostrar cómo el pueblo de Dios lamentablemente aceptó muchos de los mitos circundantes acerca de una figura de Satanás; pero los escritores de la Biblia procuraron activamente deconstruir los mitos por medio de aludir a ellos y dejar al descubierto su falacia.

Download or read book Borderlands written by Gloria Anzaldúa and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta
