The Modern Memory of the Military-religious Orders
This volume examines the pervasive and persistent appropriations of the military orders across a broad chronology and several regions, including Mexico, Brazil, and Greece, areas beyond the traditional focus of prior research in medievalism. Templars, Hospitallers, and Teutonic Knights, the military orders are among the most iconic aspects of the crusades and several still survive as chivalric honours or charitable organisations. In popular culture, the orders, particularly the Templars, have been the subject of or inspiration for films, books, television, and video games, from Star Wars to The Da Vinci Code and Assassin’s Creed. In this volume, an overview of the early legacies of the mil...

Tirso de Molina
The first comprehensive study of Tirso de Molina and his work in English Tirso de Molina (c.1583-c.1648) may not have written El Burlador de Sevilla, but the works of this prolific author, one of the three pillars of Golden Age Spanish theatre, are notable for their erudition, complex characters, and wit. Informed by a multidisciplinary critical perspective, this volume sets Tirso's plays and prose in their social, historical, literary, and cultural contexts. Contributors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Spain offer a state of the art in current scholarship, considering such topics as gender, identity, spatiality, material culture, and creative performativity, among others. The first volume in English to provide a richly detailed overview of Tirso's life and work, Tirso de Molina: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from the Twenty-First Century grounds the reader in canonical theories while suggesting new approaches, attuned to contemporary interests, to his legacy.
Contra los lugares comunes
Nadie está a salvo de lo que parece que no hay que demostrar: las ideas preconcebidas o los lugares comunes; tópicos insertos en los discursos e imaginarios cotidianos que a simple vista parecen formar parte del sentido común, pero que están muy lejos de ser inocentes o inocuos, ya que forman parte de la disputa por la hegemonía cultural y política. En este libro se plantean 24 lugares comunes ampliamente extendidos sobre la identidad nacional española y que han articulado el relato sobre la historia y el presente español: ¿es España una nación construida contra el islam?, ¿fracasó la revolución liberal en España, dejando un país invertebrado?, ¿naufragó la Segunda Repúbli...
La administración de Cuba en los siglos XVIII y XIX
El papel de Cuba en la fase final del imperio español en América fue extraordinariamente relevante desde diferentes perspectivas. Aparte de su valor simbólico como uno de los últimos vestigios de la América española, Cuba fue un instrumento de financiación y enriquecimiento de unas élites que desempeñaron un relevante papel político en la metrópoli. Fue el caso del general Serrano, capitán general de la Isla entre 1859 y 1862, esposo de una de las aristócratas más relevantes de la alta sociedad habanera como la condesa de San Antonio y hombre clave en la revolución de 1868. Así pues, la imbricación de las élites hispano- cubanas tendría consecuencias tanto en la colonia co...
