A Maturing Market
Within just a generation or two of its arrival, print had become a ubiquitous and spirited part of Spain and Portugal’s urban cultures. It serviced an ever-expanding reading public, as well as many and varied practical quotidian needs. Its impact on society was multi-dimensional and complex, and its social reach far broader than the civic or ecclesiastical elites were ever to be entirely comfortable with. This cross-disciplinary volume of essays focuses on the maturing marketplace for print in the first half of the seventeenth century, shedding new light on some important transformations, with authors and publishers seizing opportunities available to them – negotiating the regulatory efforts of the censors, and scrambling to reconfigure their relationship with their readers.
Remigio, historia de un hombre
Este es el relato autobiográfico de Ángel Rivero Méndez (1862-1930), autor de la conocida Crónica de la Guerra Hispanoamericana en Puerto Rico (1922). Se publicó originalmente de manera seriada en los periódicos El Imparcial y El Mundo durante los años 1924 a 1925 y 1927. Retomar los andares y escritos de Rivero sirve un fin más amplio que el des u propia biografía, el de intentar comprender los difíciles comienzos del siglo XX en Puerto Rico o al menos las peripecias de un cierto sector social. Se trata de una auténtica figura de la transición cuya vida adulta transcurre entre dos siglos y entre dos imperios con culturas diferentes. Fue una persona culta, acomodada, con múltiples intereses. Sus experiencias vitales -sobre todo sus actividades políticas y económicas y su engranaje social- reflejan, sin duda, muchos de los ajustes y acomodos, contradicciones, antagonismos y conciliaciones, con los que la sociedad puertorriqueña enlazó el nuevo estado de cosas.
Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain
Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain extricates the history of masculinity in early modern Spain from the narrative of Spain’s fall from imperial power after 1640. This book culls genres as diverse as emblem books, poetry, drama, courtesy treatises and prose fiction, to restore the inception of courtiership at the Spanish Hapsburg court to the history of masculinity. Refuting the current conception that Spain’s political decline precipitated a ’crisis of masculinity’, Masculine Virtue maps changes in figurations of normative masculine conduct from 1500 to 1700. As Spain assumed the role of Europe’s first modern centralized empire, codes of masculine conduct changed to meet the de...
Ethics and Perplexity
Dialogical reason requires dialogue among the members of a community. Thinkers like Habermas and Apel have proposed that judgments of both fact and value become objects of public debate. The debate should determine whether these judgments can earn the assent of the community. If so, they attain a degree of intersubjective validity. Javier Muguerza’s Ethics and Perplexity makes a highly original contribution to the debate over dialogical reason. The work opens with a letter that establishes a parallel between Ethics and Perplexity and Maimonides’s classic Guide of the Perplexed. It concludes with an interview that repeatedly strikes sparks on Spanish philosophy’s emergence from its “l...
