Slave Subjectivities in the Iberian Worlds
The Iberian world played a key role in the global trade of enslaved people from the 15th century onwards. Scholars of Iberian forms of slavery face challenges accessing the subjectivity of the enslaved, given the scarcity of autobiographical sources. This book offers a compelling example of innovative methodologies that draw on alternative archives and documents, such as inquisitorial and trial records, to examine enslaved individuals' and collective subjectivities under Iberian political dominion. It explores themes such as race, gender, labour, social mobility and emancipation, religion, and politics, shedding light on the lived experiences of those enslaved in the Iberian world from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Contributors are: Magdalena Candioti, Robson Pedroso Costa, Rômulo da Silva Ehalt, James Fujitani, Michel Kabalan, Silvia Lara, Marta Macedo, Hebe Mattos, Michelle McKinley, Sophia Blea Nuñez, Fernanda Pinheiro, João José Reis, Patricia Faria de Souza, Lisa Surwillo, Miguel Valerio and Lisa Voigt.
Renaissance Surgeons
This book examines the lives, careers, and publications of a group of Spanish Renaissance surgeons as exemplars of both the surgical renaissance occurring across Europe and of the unique context of Spain. In the sixteenth century, European surgeons forged new identities as learned experts who combined university medical degrees with manual skills and practical experience. No longer merely apprentice-trained craftsmen engaged only with healing the exterior wounds and rashes of the body, these learned surgeons actively engaged with the epistemic shifts of the sixteenth century, including new forms of knowledge construction, based in empiricism, and knowledge circulation, based in printing. The...
Re-Activating Critical Thinking in the Midst of Necropolitical Realities
This volume takes as its starting point the question of whether there is a pluriversal generation, a younger group of scholars who do not necessarily collaborate or know each other, but who are currently forming a radical structure that is viral in thought production and reflective on the current global recalibration of social relations, brought about by the necropolitical and necrocapitalist governmentality emerging worldwide. The 23 articles assembled in this volume transcend geographical boundaries, conceive of the world as a single entity, and develop strategies for radical change. They are presented in five subchapters with two lines of demarcation, one for entry, invention, and potentiality, and the other for a grim threshold.
Isabella of Castile
In 1474, a twenty-three year old woman ascended the throne of Castile, the largest and strongest kingdom in Spain. Ahead of her lay the considerable challenge not only of being a young, female ruler in an overwhelmingly male-dominated world, but also of reforming a major European kingdom that was riddled with crime, corruption, and violent political factionism. Her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon was crucial to her success, bringing together as it did two kingdoms, but it was a royal partnership in which Isabella more than held her own. Her pivotal reign was long and transformative, uniting Spain and setting the stage for its golden era of global dominance. For by the time of her death in 15...
Licht van mijn ogen
In ‘Licht van mijn ogen’ beschrijft emeritus hoogleraar María Jesús Fuente hoe er in Europa in de middeleeuwen tegen het moederschap werd aangekeken en hoe dat onze kijk op het moederschap bepaalt. Hoe werd er in de middeleeuwen aangekeken tegen het moederschap? Wat werd er van vrouwen die moeder werden verwacht? En in hoeverre bepaalt dat onze eenentwintigste-eeuwse kijk op het moederschap? Die vragen onderzoekt de Spaanse hoogleraar geschiedenis María Jesús Fuente in haar boek ‘Licht van mijn ogen’. Ze concentreert zich op West-Europa en de landen rond de Middellandse Zee. Ze doet onderzoek naar zwangerschappen, bevallingen en het leven van moeders met kinderen. Daarbij maakt ze onderscheid tussen maatschappelijke positie en religie; het jodendom, het christendom en de islam. ‘Licht van mijn ogen’ is het indrukwekkende resultaat van een carrièrelang onderzoek naar vrouwen en moeders in de middeleeuwen.
O feminino pelos olhos de demonólogos espanhóis dos séculos XVI E XVII
O feminino pelos olhos de demonólogos espanhóis dos séculos XVI e XVII, é resultado de pesquisa realizada a cerca das questões que envolvem o gênero e sua relação com a perseguição sofrida pelas "bruxas" no período da Primeira Modernidade na Europa. A autora procura aprofundar-se no tema, considerando de maneira particular entender como se desenvolveu a camada dominante da época, os demonólogos e tratadistas dos séculos XVI e XVIII, considerando teorias filosóficas e teológicas que permeavam a época. Com todas essas premissas, o principal objetivo dessa obra é discutir e entender como se desenvolveu a crença em bruxas e feitiçarias durante o período citado, e sobretudo, porque apenas as mulheres eram estigmatizadas como bruxas e feiticeiras?

La madurez de Cervantes
Miguel de Cervantes, a su vuelta del cautiverio de Argel, se gana la vida como funcionario en el laberinto de la corte. Entre sus tareas contrastadas fi guran la de ser discreto correo real en Orán, comisario de abastos, cobrador de impuestos, «juez ejecutor de su Majestad» y, a ratos, escritor en busca de nuevos retos. La leyenda dice que fue en la cárcel, que lo acogió en su laberinto varias veces, donde mayor sosiego encontró para sus aficiones literarias. En estos veinticinco años también tuvo tiempo de tener amores con Ana Franca, reconocer a su hija natural Isabel de Saavedra y casarse en Esquivias con Catalina de Salazar. De 1580 a 1604 Cervantes publica algunos poemas, la nov...
