Espacios para mujeres : fundaciones y comunidades femeninas en el Valle de México 1525-1580
La conquista y colonización a la que se le ha llamado el encuentro de dos mundos, fue también el encuentro de dos patriarcados. Este libro es una ventana, para conocer la vida de diferentes mujeres que vivieron hace 500 años, a través de la historia de sus comunidades y su acción colectiva para fundar y gestionar diferentes espacios femeninos, que se crearon después de la caída de Tenochtitlán y hasta 1580, en el valle de México. Desde los centros de evangelización de la elite indígena femenina, hasta los diversos tipos de monasterios, colegios y recogimientos, se muestra como estos espacios femeninos se transformaron y jugaron un papel esencial en la estructura del orden colonial...
Universidad y familia
"Universidad y familia. Hernando Ortiz de Hinojosa y la construcción de un linaje, siglos XVI... al XX" gira en torno al doctor Hernando Ortiz de Hinojosa, universitario del siglo XVI que realizó una carrera brillante en la universidad y en la iglesia secular, pero cuyos antecedentes judíos le impidieron consolidar su trayectoria en aquella sociedad discriminatoria. Sin embargo, su historia, vista como un proceso de larga duración, no fue un drama. Clara Ramírez estructuró el libro en seis capítulos y un epílogo en los que nos habla de los abuelos y abuelas, padre y madre, tíos y tías, hermanos y hermanas, sobrinos y sobrinas del doctor Ortiz para mostrar la complejidad de las relaciones sociales donde familia y universidad se entrelazan. Al tiempo, nos enteramos de las circunstancias que rodearon a la familia: la persecución de judíos, la emigración al Nuevo Mundo, la encomienda, las transformaciones universitarias o el rol de la mujer en una sociedad en construcción. La pluma amena de la autora nos permite descubrir las estrategias familiares utilizadas para consolidar un linaje desde aquella sociedad del siglo XVI hasta nuestros días.
Global Debates in the Digital Humanities
A necessary volume of essays working to decolonize the digital humanities Often conceived of as an all-inclusive “big tent,” digital humanities has in fact been troubled by a lack of perspectives beyond Westernized and Anglophone contexts and assumptions. This latest collection in the Debates in the Digital Humanities series seeks to address this deficit in the field. Focused on thought and work that has been underappreciated for linguistic, cultural, or geopolitical reasons, contributors showcase alternative histories and perspectives that detail the rise of the digital humanities in the Global South and other “invisible” contexts and explore the implications of a globally diverse d...
La Vergine contesa
Il 12 settembre 1612, interpretando il decreto di Paolo V Sanctissimus Dominus Noster, la Monarchia Cattolica introdusse la pratica del giuramento di fedeltà all’Immacolata Concezione per tutti i ministri del sovrano, che fu poi esteso a università, municipalità, ordini cavallereschi e confraternite, in tutti i suoi domini. Questa decisione, indipendente dalla volontà della Chiesa di Roma, si tradusse in un intenso dibattito politico e alimentò controversie teologiche già esistenti riguardo alle posizioni immacoliste. La difesa della causa dell’Immacolata Concezione rientrò nel discorso politico della Monarchia Cattolica, tanto attraverso la pubblicistica come tramite la produzione artistica e letteraria, convertendosi, per i territori appartenenti alla Corona asburgica, in un elemento di promozione dell’unità, tale da esaltare fortemente la coesione tra di essi pur appartenendo a un sistema policentrico.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others.
