Devotional Music in the Iberian World, 1450-1800
From the fifteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, devotional music played a fundamental role in the Iberian world. Songs in the vernacular, usually referred to by the generic name of 'villancico', but including forms as varied as madrigals, ensaladas, tonos, cantatas or even oratorios, were regularly performed at many religious feasts in major churches, royal and private chapels, convents and in monasteries. These compositions appear to have progressively fulfilled or supplemented the role occupied by the Latin motet in other countries and, as they were often composed anew for each celebration, the surviving sources vastly outnumber those of Latin compositions; they can ...

Black Voices in Early Modern Spanish Literature, 1500-1750
In this groundbreaking study, Diana Berruezo-Sánchez recovers key chapters in the history of Afro-Iberian diasporas by exploring the literary contributions and life experiences of black African communities and individuals in early modern Spain. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, international trade involving chattel slavery led to significant populations of enslaved, free(d), and half-manumitted black African women, men, and children in the Iberian Peninsula. These demographic changes transformed Spain's urban and social landscapes. In exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period, Berruezo-Sánchez examines a broad rang...
Music and Power in Early Modern Spain
This book explores the representation of music in early modern Spanish literature and reveals how music was understood within the framework of the Harmony of the Spheres, emanating from cosmic harmony as directed by the creator. The Harmony of Spheres was not ideologically neutral but rather tied to the earthly power structures of the Church, Crown, and nobility. Music could be "true," taking the listener closer to the divine, or "false," leading the listener astray. As such, music was increasingly seen as a potent weapon to be wielded in service of earthly centers of power, which can be observed in works such as vihuela songbooks, the colonial chronicle of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and...

Quevedo et la poétique du burlesque au XVIIe siècle
La valeur esthétique et éthique reconnue au trait d'esprit dans l'Espagne du Siècle d'or modifia en profondeur les formes de la facétie littéraire ainsi que son statut artistique. Poésie savante et souvent érudite, poésie où l'on rencontre les personnages les plus ridicules mais aussi les héros de la mythologie, poésie où la facétie paraît parfois le disputer à la réflexion contenue, le burlesque doit surprendre un lecteur invité à relever le défi interprétatif lancé par le poète. Les mille détours empruntés pour formuler le bon mot sont autant d'énigmes offertes à la sagacité du lecteur et à sa complicité. Laisser entendre sans tout à fait dire, laisser entrevoir sans montrer directement, surprendre par l'obscénité du trait ou sa profondeur constituent autant d'objectifs assignés aux poètes burlesques du XVIIe siècle. Il existe dans leurs oeuvres un ensemble cohérent de procédés qui constituent une véritable poétique, que cet ouvrage entreprend d'établir et d'interpréter.
