Download or read book The Ascetic Spirituality of Juan de vila 1499 1569 written by Rady Roldán-Figueroa and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan de Ávila (1499-1569) was one of the most significant exponents of Spanish Golden Age spirituality. His work throughout Andalusia gave rise to the school of Avilista spirituality, a spirituality adopted by both lay men and women as well as secular and regular members of the clergy who were inspired by his stress on moral and spiritual formation and were bound together by the observance of a rigorous program of spiritual discipline. Scholars have increasingly identified him as the author of a distinctively judeoconverso spirituality. Currently, however, there are no comprehensive studies of his spirituality that seriously take into account his judeoconverso background. The present work seeks to analyze his ascetic spirituality and place it against its proper early-modern Spanish context.
Download or read book San Juan de Dios fundador de la Fraternidad Hospitalaria written by José Luis Martínez Gil and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra se sumerge en el mundo del siglo XVI —Renacimiento, Siglo de Oro, Nuevos descubrimientos—, para encontrarse con la figura señera, humilde y fascinante de Juan de Dios, el Loco de Amor que fructificó en Granada. Es una fuente llena de documentos históricos e inéditos. No hay que buscar su aportación en los círculos de la cultura convencional. Juan eligió la marginación y pobreza —inmensos en su época—, supo mirarlos con los ojos limpios de las Bienaventuranzas y quedarse con ellos. Revolucionó el viejo hospital de la Edad Media —pequeño e infecto—, con el nuevo carisma de la Fraternidad (Hospitalidad) para convertirlo en «hogar de acogida» al servicio de la persona enferma, olvidada y rechazada, afirmando su grandeza y dignidad irrepetibles. Para ello se hizo «Siervo de los Pobres de Jesucristo», los cargó sobre sus hombros, supo darles ternura a manos llenas y mucho amor, claves del humanismo evangélico. Al mismo tiempo, fue el laico consagrado que denunció proféticamente ante el príncipe Felipe II, que tanto le quiso, la situación de injusticia en que malvivían los pobres en su propia casa (Hospital Real): «que por no aver camas ni adonde acogerlos muchos de ellos ordinariamente mueren por los suelos y sin confessión, y ... las mulas y cavallos de qualquier súbdito de Vuestra Majestad en esta Corte tienen mejores caballerizas». Con la misma fuerza profética denunció la actitud de parte de la nobleza y la alta jerarquía eclesiástica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

Book excerpt: Berlin Free University is an imagination of what a building might be - a building designed to function as a piece of the city, adapting to the needs of its users while generating opportunities for social interaction. The university offers a window onto the politicized and optimistic discourse of the Sixties and Seventies, but at the same time illuminates contemporary debates around large projects of infrastructure and public space. This extensive study of the building combines texts with a visual survey containing specifically commissioned photographs as well as archive material, plans and construction details.

Download or read book The Poisoned Water written by Fernando Benítez and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation makes available to English-speaking readers a powerful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by building it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feeding on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.

Download or read book Tourism Imaginaries written by Noel B. Salazar and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.
