The Measure of Woman
By the end of the Middle Ages, the ius commune—the combination of canon and Roman law—had formed the basis for all law in continental Europe, along with its patriarchal system of categorizing women. Throughout medieval Europe, women regularly found themselves in court, suing or being sued, defending themselves against criminal accusations, or prosecuting others for crimes committed against them or their families. Yet choosing to litigate entailed accepting the conceptual vocabulary of the learned law, thereby reinforcing the very legal and social notions that often subordinated them. In The Measure of Woman Marie A. Kelleher explores the complex relationship between women and legal cultu...
Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture
This volume engages with notions of lateness and modernity in medieval architecture, broadly conceived geographically, temporally, methodologically, and theoretically. It aims to (re)situate secular and religious buildings from the 14th through the 16th centuries that are indebted to medieval building practices and designs, within the more established narratives of art and architectural history.

Dead Voice
An exploration of the thirteenth-century law code known as Siete Partidas Conceived and promulgated by Alfonso X, King of Castile and León (r. 1252-1282), and created by a workshop of lawyers, legal scholars, and others, the set of books known as the Siete Partidas is both a work of legal theory and a legislative document designed to offer practical guidelines for the rendering of legal decisions and the management of good governance. Yet for all its practical reach, which extended over centuries and as far as the Spanish New World, it is an unusual text, argues Jesús R. Velasco, one that introduces canon and ecclesiastical law in the vernacular for explicitly secular purposes, that embrac...
Desde la otra orilla
El presente estudio Desde la otra orilla. Las mujeres en la Revista de Occidente (1923-1936), aborda el análisis de los textos publicados en la revista durante su primera época, desde la perspectiva de los estudios de género. Para comenzar, tras un breve capítulo introductorio en el que se lleva a cabo una aproximación al papel desempeñado por la Revista de Occidente, se ha procedido a la investigación de los propios textos. En un primer bloque se analizan los discursos de autoría masculina, tanto los ensayísticos como los narrativos, con el fin de determinar qué teorías sobre la diferenciación sexual aparecen, así como las imágenes de mujeres que reproducen los textos de ficci...
La filosofía y el poder en México
¿Cuál es la condición de la filosofía, disciplina tipificada de “crítica” por excelencia, frente al poder establecido, preeminente o hegemónico? En esta obra se analiza la relación compleja expresada en la pregunta, que sugiere un par de respuestas: o la filosofía está subordinada y en tal caso, proyecta una deferencia al poder, o la filosofía es crítica de este último, sin embargo, hasta donde el poder lo permita y no se vea afectado (en tal caso, aquélla se encontraría acotada). También se ofrecen otras alternativas para su discusión, todas ellas muy polémicas.
