The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World
The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World is a collection of fourteen articles focusing on debates concerning the nature of “rites” raging in intellectual circles of Europe, Asia and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The controversy started in Jesuit Asian missions where the method of accommodation, based on translation of Christianity into Asian cultural idioms, created a distinction between civic and religious customs. Civic customs were defined as those that could be included into Christianity and permitted to the new converts. However, there was no universal consensus among the various actors in these controversies as to how to establish criteria for distinguishing civility from religion. The controversy had not been resolved, but opened the way to radical religious scepticism. Contributors are: Claudia Brosseder, Michela Catto, Gita Dharampal-Frick, Pierre Antoine Fabre, Ana Carolina Hosne, Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia, Giuseppe Marcocci, Ovidiu Olar, Sabina Pavone, István Perczel, Nicholas Standaert, Margherita Trento, Guillermo Wilde and Ines G. Županov.
Cultural Exchanges between Brazil and France
Brazil and France have explored each other's geographical and cultural landscapes for more than five hundred years. The Brazilian je ne sais quoi has captivated the French from their first encounter, and the ingenuity à francesa of French artistic and scholarly movements has intrigued Brazilians in kind. Ongoing Brazil-France interactions have resulted in some of the richest cultural exchanges between Europe and Latin America. In Cultural Exchanges between Brazil and France, leading international scholars evaluate these reciprocal transnational explorations, from the earliest French interventions in Brazil in the sixteenth century to the growing mutual influence that the nations have exerte...
The Atlantic World and Virginia, 1550-1624
In response to the global turn in scholarship on colonial and early modern history, the eighteen essays in this volume provide a fresh and much-needed perspective on the wider context of the encounter between the inhabitants of precolonial Virginia and the English. This collection offers an interdisciplinary consideration of developments in Native America, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Chesapeake, highlighting the mosaic of regions and influences that formed the context and impetus for the English settlement at Jamestown in 1607. The volume reflects an understanding of Jamestown not as the birthplace of democracy in America but as the creation of a European outpost in a neighborhood...
France and the American Tropics to 1700
This original narrative demonstrates that the transition to sugar and the plantation complex was more gradual in the French properties than generally depicted--and that it was not inevitable.--Robert Forster, The Johns Hopkins University "Journal of World History"

Ética e retórica forense: asebeia e hybris na caracterização dos adversários em Demóstenes
O intuito desta investigação é analisar o uso dos termos asebeia e hybris nos discursos forenses presentes no corpus Demosthenicum. Ambos os conceitos desempenham um papel importante nos discursos para descrever negativamente o caráter do adversário e atribuir uma culpa maior ao delito cometido. A eficiência dos termos em atrair a simpatia dos juízes é comprovada nos discursos por meio da recorrência de diversas situações, tais como homicídios, agressões, mau uso da cidadania, rivalidades políticas e disputas familiares. O estudo foi dividido em três partes. A primeira é dedicada à discussão das questões metodológicas; a segunda, ao tratamento das noções de asebeia e hy...
