El Cristo de Medinaceli y su Archicofradía
En la difusión del modelo y la devoción a Jesús Cautivo y Rescatado, en su iconografía del Ecce-Homo, por todo el territorio nacional e internacional, ha jugado un papel protagonista la imagen devotísima del afamado Cristo de Medinaceli, escultura anónima venerada en Madrid desde 1682, pero de origen sevillano, que se encuentra profundamente ligada a las órdenes de Trinitarios Descalzos y de Capuchinos. Más de tres siglos después de la llegada a la capital de España, de la imagen de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, rescatada de su cautiverio en Mequinez y de su depósito en sucesivas capillas, siempre bajo el patronato de los duques de Medinaceli, sigue muy vigente su culto, su devoc...
Visualizing Sensuous Suffering and Affective Pain in Early Modern Europe and the Spanish Americas
Visualizing Sensuous Suffering and Affective Pain in Early Modern Europe and the Spanish Americas is a trans-cultural collection of studies on visual treatments of the phenomena of suffering and pain in early modern culture. Ranging geographically from Italy, Spain, and the Low Countries to Chile, Mexico, and the Philippines and chronologically from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, these studies variously consider pain and suffering as somatic, emotional, and psychological experiences. From examination of bodies shown victimized by brutal public torture to the sublimation of physical suffering conveyed through the incised lines of Counter-Reformation engravings, the authors consider depictions of pain and suffering as conduits to the divine or as guides to social behaviour; indeed, often the two functions overlap.
Marxists at the Gate
No one anticipated in 1958 that, in the midst of a remarkable prosperity, Cuba would fall into Communism. It seemed impossible that an island 90 miles from the US, the most powerful Capitalistic country in the planet, could turn Communist. Yet in one year it happened, at the cost of hundreds of lives, thousands of exiles, the eradication of free press, end of freedom of speech and private education, freedom of worship and private property. Suddenly, everything belonged to the government, Cubans had to ask permission to travel abroad, if they left the island they could not return, the government decided what foods they could eat, where they had to live, what professions they could practice and what jobs were open to them. This book presents the history of how it happened, how it got started and the deceit and the treachery that made it possible. Cuba has not recovered its lost freedoms after60 plus years of Communism... and probably never will. It's a great lesson for anyone sympathetic with the radical left.
The Cristos yacentes of Gregorio Fern?ez
Analyzing seventeenth-century images of the dead Christ produced by Gregorio Fern?ez, author Ilenia Col?endoza investigates how and why the artist and his patrons manipulated these images in connection with the religious literature of the time to produce striking images that moved the faithful to devotion. In so doing, she contributes new findings to the topic of Spanish sacred sculpture. The author re-examines these sculptures not only in the context of a larger sculptural group but also as independent sculptures that were intended as powerful aids to contemplation and devotion as was prescribed by the writings of San Juan de la Cruz and Luis de Granada. Combining study of the sculptural works with that of liturgical sources, she reveals the connection between the written word and the sculpted work of art. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the author links Fern?ez's sculptural program with the strategic objectives of major patrons of the period, such as the Duke of Lerma and King Philip III of Spain, both fervent defenders of the Catholic faith.

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Las artes suntuarias al servicio del culto divino (ss. XVI-XVIII)
Prendendo come modello di riferimento l'Osservatorio delle Arti Decorative “Maria Accascina” (Università degli Studi di Palermo), questo progetto editoriale si propone di valorizzare le arti decorative e promuoverne la presenza negli studi di Storia dell'Arte, sia a livello nazionale che internazionale. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, un gruppo di professionisti specializzati in diverse discipline (oreficeria, tessitura, ceramica...) provenienti da entrambi i paesi, Italia e Spagna, hanno collaborato per presentare i loro ultimi progressi, tra cui spiccano: Carmen Heredia (Università di Alcalá de Henares), Manuel Pérez Sánchez (Università di Murcia) o Benedetta Montevecchi (Università di La Sapienza).
