Charles V and the Castilian Assembly of the Clergy
The Castilian Assembly of the Clergy has been overlooked in the scholarship on church-state relations and representative institutions in the early modern period. This oversight has distorted our understanding of political practice, royal finance, and church-state relations in sixteenth-century Castile. By examining the negotiations for subsidies between the crown and the Assembly, this book illuminates the dynamics between church and state and the limits of royal control over the church, and it challenges long-held conventions about the monolithic structure of the Spanish church and its subservience to the crown. The negotiations for subsidies also demonstrate the importance of consensus in the political process and how the Assembly sustained itself and its privileges for centuries through collaboration with the crown.
1995
Annually published since 1930, the International bibliography of Historical Sciences (IBOHS) is an international bibliography of the most important historical monographs and periodical articles published throughout the world, which deal with history from the earliest to the most recent times. The works are arranged systematically according to period, region or historical discipline, and within this classification alphabetically. The bibliography contains a geographical index and indexes of persons and authors.
Conflict and Collaboration in Medieval Iberia
Studies of conflict in medieval history and related disciplines have recently come to focus on wars, feuds, rebellions, and other violent matters. While those issues are present here, to form a backdrop, this volume brings other forms of conflict in this period to the fore. With these assembled essays on conflict and collaboration in the Iberian Peninsula, it provides an insight into key aspects of the historical experience of the Iberian kingdoms during the Middle Ages. Ranging in focus from the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the arrival of significant numbers of Berber settlers to the functioning of the Spanish Inquisition right at the end of the Middle Ages, the articles gathered here look both at cross-ethnic and interreligious meetings in hostility or fruitful cohabitation. The book does not, however, forget intra-communal relations, and consideration is given to the mechanisms within religious and ethnic groupings by which conflict was channeled and, occasionally, collaboration could ensue.

De mercaderes a la grandeza de España. De los Enríquez de Cuenca a los Queipo de Llano, Condes de Toreno, SS. XVI-XIX.
A través de la familia Enríquez de Cuenca, De mercaderes a la Grandeza de España, analiza y desarrolla algunos de los procesos de promoción, perpetuación y movilidad social de los grupos de poder en el interior castellano entre los siglos XVI y XIX. Siendo su origen mercantil, el grupo familiar se procuró un noble linaje que le permitió posicionarse en los principales puestos de la élite. Desde su condición como hidalgos, llegaron a ser regidores familiares del Santo Oficio, procuradores en Cortes y miembros del cabildo catedralicio de Cuenca. Ya en el siglo XIX, tras entroncar con los Condes de Toreno, se convirtieron en grandes de España y consiguieron importantes cargos polític...
Manual of Romance Phonetics and Phonology
This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
Complex Networks X
This book aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working across domains and research disciplines to measure, model, and visualize complex networks. It collects the works presented at the 10th International Conference on Complex Networks (CompleNet) in Taragona, Spain, March, 2019. With roots in physical, information and social science, the study of complex networks provides a formal set of mathematical methods, computational tools and theories to describe, prescribe and predict dynamics and behaviors of complex systems. Despite their diversity, whether the systems are made up of physical, technological, informational, or social networks, they share many common organizing principles and thus can be studied with similar approaches. This book provides a view of the state-of-the-art in this dynamic field and covers topics such as group decision-making, brain and cellular connectivity, network controllability and resiliency, online activism, recommendation systems, and cyber security. This text will appeal to students and researchers in the field.
L2 Pragmatics in Action
This is the first edited volume dedicated to both teachers and learners of second/foreign language (L2) pragmatics. It comprises a collection of studies that explore how teachers background and practices, and individual learners differences contribute to the teaching and learning of L2 pragmatics. Also included are chapters that present pedagogical approaches that bring teachers and learners together in action in the classroom setting. Written by an international team of experts, the volume examines the most relevant topics on instructional pragmatics in a variety of language contexts, including Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United States, and Vietnam. This global perspective represents a key contribution in the current increasingly multilingual and multicultural society. Taken together, the findings presented have diverse research and pedagogical implications, and provide new directions to explore L2 pragmatic competence. This innovative book will be a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students, as well as for language teachers and course developers.
L’Église des laïcs
Comment les laïcs se sont-ils impliqués dans la chose religieuse, en y investissant de l’argent, du temps, du capital symbolique et même émotionnel ? L’Église des laïcs questionne l’initiative des fidèles auprès des institutions religieuses, entre le XVIe et le XXe siècle, notamment dans la vieille Europe et les espaces américains dominés par les Ibériques. L’ouvrage observe ces modalités d’investissement dans le sacré au sein du catholicisme, tout en dressant des passerelles avec l’islam, les christianismes orientaux, la religion orthodoxe. Quelles stratégies, quelles formes de participation, quelles sensibilités les acteurs sociaux ont-ils mobilisé pour agir sur les institutions de l’Ecclesia et en leur sein ? Quels retours sur investissement en espéraient-ils ? Peuton mesurer les bénéfi ces de leurs engagements ? Tenter de répondre à ces questions, c’est réfléchir à ce qui se joue dans l’économie de la grâce et du don que pratiquent les laïcs, en confrontant leurs attentes et leurs dividendes.
