Confesiones Religiosas Y Patrimonio Cultural
Análisis del régimen de protección del patrimonio cultural de interés religioso establecido por el ordenamiento jurídico español. Necesidad de armonizar las exigencias derivadas del derecho de acceso a la cultura y a la libertad de conciencia individual de estos bienes, y la función de culto para la que fueron concebidos.
Religious Individualisation
The Roman world was diverse and complex. And so were religious understandings and practices as mirrored in the enormous variety presented by archaeological, iconographic, and epigraphic evidence. Conventional approaches principally focus on the political role of civic cults as a means of social cohesion, often considered to be instrumentalized by elites. But by doing so, religious diversity is frequently overlooked, marginalizing ‘deviating’ cult activities that do not fit the Classical canon, as well as the multitude of funerary practices and other religious activities that were all part of everyday life. In the Roman Empire, a person’s religious experiences were shaped by many and so...
From Heaven to Earth
Between the late twelfth century and the mid fourteenth, Castile saw a reordering of mental, spiritual, and physical space. Fresh ideas about sin and intercession coincided with new ways of representing the self and emerging perceptions of property as tangible. This radical shift in values or mentalités was most evident among certain social groups, including mercantile elites, affluent farmers, lower nobility, clerics, and literary figures--"middling sorts" whose outlooks and values were fast becoming normative. Drawing on such primary documents as wills, legal codes, land transactions, litigation records, chronicles, and literary works, Teofilo Ruiz documents the transformation in how medi...
Flawed Commanders and Strategy in the Battles for Italy, 1943–45
"The authors offer a very different perspective on this campaign and are very frank in their assessment of the performance of the Allies and Germans on many levels." — New York Journal of Books Wars never run according to plan, perhaps never more so than during the Italian campaign, 1943–45, where necessary coordination between the different armies added additional complexity to Allied plans. Errors in the strategies, tactics, the coalition tensions, and operations at campaign command level can clearly be seen in firsthand accounts of the period. This new account examines the Italian campaign, from Sicily to surrender in 1945, exploring the strategy, intentions, motives, plans, and deeds...
Where Theory and Practice Meet
Where Theory and Practice Meet is a collection of nineteen papers in translation studies. Unlike many similar books published in recent decades, which are mostly non-translation-oriented, veering to issues with little or no relevance to translation, this book focuses on the translation process, on theory formulation with reference to actual translation, on getting to grips with translation problems, and on explaining translation in language which can be understood by the general reader. Perceptive and wide-ranging, the book covers language pairs that include Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and Classical Greek, and discusses, among other things, translations of Dante’s La Divina Commedia; translations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; Goethe’s “Prometheus” as a case of untranslatability; the challenge of translating Garcilaso de la Vega’s “Primera Égloga” into Chinese; John Minford’s translation of martial arts fiction; and Lin Shu’s translation of Alexandre Dumas’s La Dame aux camélias.
Buscando a Antonio Machado en Soria y Baeza
El libro consta de dos partes: el viaje a Soria y el viaje a Baeza, que se han unido. La primera parte corresponde a mi viaje a Soria en septiembre del 2006 con la intencion de investigacion y recogida de documentacion para el I Centenario de la llegada de Antonio Machado a Soria (1907-2007). Una vez publicada la parte primera, me surgio la idea de continuar buscando a Antonio Machado en Baeza (Jaen), como complemento y necesario estudio o diagnosis del estado de animo del poeta despues de la muerte de su esposa Leonor. He utilizado el estilo epistolar postumo con Antonio Machado por ser mas intimista y directo, donde el lector, queda como simple observador de las peripecias del viaje. Por ello, cada trabajo o partes tienen su propia bibliografia. Y ademas consta de dos anexos: a) La amistad de Machado con Azorin b) Mostramos el expediente militar de Ceferino Izquierdo Caballero, suegro de Antonio Machado.c) Un viaje a Quesada, pueblo de Josefina Manresa, la mujer de Miguel Hernandez."

Arqueología, patrimonio y nacionalismo en Cataluña (1850-1939)" -- Prové dels agraïments.

Deza and Its Moriscos
Bainton Prize for History and Theology Honorable Mention Deza and Its Moriscos addresses an incongruity in early modern Spanish historiography: a growing awareness of the importance played by Moriscos in Spanish society and culture alongside a dearth of knowledge about individuals or local communities. By reassessing key elements in the religious and social history of early modern Spain through the experience of the small Castilian town of Deza, Patrick J. O’Banion asserts the importance of local history in understanding large-scale historical events and challenges scholars to rethink how marginalized people of the past exerted their agency. Moriscos, baptized Muslims and their descendants...
