Beatas y endemoniadas/ Sanctimonious and diabolics
«De los sesenta y seis casos de " religiosidad heterodoxa " hallados en el tribunal inquisitorial de Cuenca y que la profesora Sarrión ha estudiado, la mayoría conciernen a mujeres que se ven, de esta manera, privilegiadas en esta obra, una circunstancia ésta que en mi opinión no hace sino aumentar el interés e importancia de este libro: si de la " gente común " sabemos poco, ¿cuánto menos no sabremos de esa mitad de ella formada por las mujeres? Interesa, pues, y mucho, saber acerca de cómo vivían las mujeres " normales " la religiosidad, más aún en una religión como la católica en la que las mujeres tenían, y continúan teniendo, bien -y bien injustamente por cierto- delimitados sus posibles papeles. Interesa aunque de lo que Adelina Sarrión nos hable aquí sobre todo sea de unos tipos de vivencias particulares, heterodoxas, vivencias asociadas a términos como " brujería " , " superstición " , " endemoniados " , " revelaciones " o " pactos con el demonio " . Al fin y al cabo también esos mundos, habitualmente ocultos, ayudan a comprender lo que con demasiada facilidad llamamos " normalidad " .»

Figuras femeninas en "El Quijote"
En el IV Centenario de la publicación de la primera parte del Quijote, un grupo de mujeres han querido hacer una lectura desde su orilla, desde su concepto del mundo. Vieron que los especialistas cervantinos se habían detenido en los protagonistas masculinos. Era normal porque en la cultura androcéntrica siempre son los hombres los que han marcad las pautas. Encontraron alguna excepción en el estudio que hizo la gran novelista Concha Espina, en algún opúsculo sobre Dulcinea y poco más. Así pues, las autoras de este homenaje a las mujeres del Quijote, eligieron una figura o un grupo de figuras femeninas de la novela, se metieron en su piel e intentaron situralas en el siglo de Cervant...
Imagining Histories of Colonial Latin America
Imagining Histories of Colonial Latin America teaches imaginative and distinctive approaches to the practice of history through a series of essays on colonial Latin America. It demonstrates ways of making sense of the past through approaches that aggregate more than they dissect and suggest more than they conclude. Sidestepping more conventional approaches that divide content by subject, source, or historiographical "turn," the editors seek to take readers beyond these divisions and deep into the process of historical interpretation. The essays in this volume focus on what questions to ask, what sources can reveal, what stories historians can tell, and how a single source can be interpreted in many ways.
The Conquest of the Soul
Carlo Borromeo earned sainthood by attempting to turn Milan into a holy city. This book is the first to interpret his program of penitential discipline as an effort to reshape Lombard society by reaching into the souls of its inhabitants.
The Inner Life of Catholic Reform
"While studies abound about Catholic Reform and its institutional or social history, its spiritual motives and practices, what one could call its "inner life," have been widely neglected. This book examines how these spiritual ideas and practices shaped the Catholic Reform and Catholic view of the world and led to a diverse but peculiarly theological imagination, a new outlook on the self and the world, and influenced human behaviors and sentiments. It tells the story of how the idea of the "inner reform of the soul" shaped a world religion. The historicization of these religious practices and beliefs makes this book also highly accessible to historians and anthropologists. It relies on a plethora of published and unpublished sources, and a wide field of secondary literature. Although the emphasis is on Europe, this book takes a global perspective by integrating material from Africa, America and Asia as it was in this era that Catholicism became a "world religion.""--
Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World
Devout laywomen raise a number of provocative questions about gender and religion in the early modern world. How did some groups or individuals evade the Tridentine legislation that required third order women to take solemn vows and observe active and passive enclosure? How did their attempts to exercise a female apostolate (albeit with varying degrees of success and assertiveness) destabilize hierarchies of class and gender? To the extent that their beliefs and practices diverged from approved doctrine and rituals, what insights can they provide into the tensions between official religion and lay religiosity? Addressing these and many other questions, Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World reflects new directions in gender history, offering a more nuanced approach to the paradigm of woman as the prototypical "disciplined" subject of church-state power.
