Foodscapes
Since the mid-1990s, the term 'foodscapes' has been used. Its reference to landscape opens it up to a wide theoretical variety and numerous methodological approaches. Through the large 'semantic yard' of the concept of landscape it becomes clear that the approach of foodscapes aims less at the description or pure positivistic analysis of the production, distribution and consumption of food, but is rather open to aesthetic approaches, normative questions, aspects of the connection of food and space with meaning. In this respect, research on foodscapes is not simply a part of food geography but reaches beyond it. With this anthology we contribute to the development of the research field on foodscapes and combine diverse perspectives from different disciplines, locations and theoretical as well as methodological backgrounds on the diversity of what foodscapes can be. Our anthology 'Foodscapes - Theory, History, and Current European Examples' is the result of the collaboration of lecturers and students from the universities of Bucharest, Madrid, Rome and Tübingen.
Between the Sacred and the Worldly
This groundbreaking work argues that the seminal concept of recogimiento functioned as a metaphor for the colonial relationship between Spain and Lima. Ubiquitous and flexible, recogimiento had three related meanings—two cultural and one institutional—that developed over a 200-year period in Renaissance Spain and the viceregal capital, Lima. Female and male religious conceptualized recogimiento as a mystical praxis that aspired toward "union" with God, and it was also articulated as a fundamental virtue of enclosure and quiescent conduct for women. As an institutional practice, recogimiento involved substantial numbers of women and girls living in convents, lay pious houses, schools, and...

Estudios jurídicos sobre seguridad alimentaria
Este libro reúne un conjunto de trabajos sobre aspectos organizativos, procedimentales y sustantivos del régimen jurídico de la seguridad alimentaria en el ámbito europeo y español. El Libro Blanco de la Comisión Europea, de 12 de enero de 2000, sobre Seguridad Alimentaria, se basa en una concepción integrada que toma en consideración todas las fases, desde la producción primaria hasta la venta o el suministro de alimentos al consumidor, es decir, «desde la granja a la mesa» (from farm to fork). El producto normativo más importante de esta concepción integrada fue el Reglamento (CE) 178/2002, de 28 de enero, por el que se establecen los principios y requisitos generales de la legislación alimentaria, se crea la Autoridad Europea de Seguridad Alimentaria y se fijan los procedimientos correspondientes. Las decisiones comunitarias en la materia se toman, a partir de este Reglamento, con base en el análisis del riesgo, un concepto esencial de la política de seguridad alimentaria, junto con la trazabilidad y la aplicación del principio de precaución.
Los Consejeros del Rey (1500-1836). Volumen VI. Fernández de Híjar-Giudice Palagano
En esta magna obra, por su extensión y contenido, el autor efectúa un recorrido por el sistema de gobernación de la monarquía española, mediante el examen de los personajes que se integraron en el sistema polisinodial o de los consejos. Por orden alfabético, y para el período 1500-1836, la estructura de cada biografía asume un modelo general que, con las variaciones accidentales derivadas de la naturaleza peculiar de cada consejo y de los datos y noticias que ha sido posible adquirir, gira en torno al oficio y la jurisdicción. Este criterio rector determina que su estructura no sea necesariamente cronológica y, así, las biografían cubren los siguientes ámbitos: de la identidad d...

Golden Kingdoms
This volume accompanies a major international loan exhibition featuring more than three hundred works of art, many rarely or never before seen in the United States. It traces the development of gold working and other luxury arts in the Americas from antiquity until the arrival of Europeans in the early sixteenth century. Presenting spectacular works from recent excavations in Peru, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico, this exhibition focuses on specific places and times—crucibles of innovation—where artistic exchange, rivalry, and creativity led to the production of some of the greatest works of art known from the ancient Americas. The book and exhibition explore not only...
