Beauty, Devotion and Spirituality

There is scant research on the art produced under the Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, with the exception of a couple of general books focused primarily on major Oratorian art pieces. Therefore, this book of essays aims to discuss the art and culture produced by or associated with the Oratorians by providing a broad overview focused especially on rarely investigated issues. The authors focus on this very important artistic production, commonly forgotten when compared with other religious productions of art, by covering geographical areas spanning from Sri Lanka to Mexico, including Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, India and Brazil.

Libros que hay y los que se han hallado

En esta obra, los lectores encontrarán elementos que permiten comprender algunas de las colecciones históricas más interesantes de la Iberoamérica: las bibliotecas conventuales y religiosas. Estos espacios, privilegiados para el desarrollo de la cultura escrita desde los siglos XVI al XIX, son el objeto de análisis a partir del cual los autores participantes en este volumen reflexionan sobre el significado y la representación de la palabra escrita en nuestro pasado. El volumen reúne a investigadores iberoamericanos de la historia cultural y de la cultura escrita, así como a historiadores de las órdenes religiosas, para discutir y dialogar sobre la historia de las bibliotecas conventuales y la cultura escrita del clero regular en Iberoamérica a lo largo de las centurias citadas. Así pues, a lo largo de ocho capítulos, el libro da cuenta de las propuestas metodológicas y del trabajo multidisciplinario que se está desarrollando en la historiografía de diferentes países, y los unifica en una sola obra.

Rischio, catastrofe e gestione dell’emergenza nel Mediterraneo occidentale e in Ispanoamerica in età moderna : omaggio a Jean-Philippe Luis

[Italiano]: Il libro è il primo risultato di un progetto di ricerca interdisciplinare e internazionale sui disastri di origine naturale verificatisi nei territori governati dalle monarchie borboniche tra il XVIII secolo e l’inizio del XIX. I dodici saggi che lo compongono esplorano le strategie e le pratiche attraverso cui istituzioni e società cercarono di gestire, mitigare e prevenire gli effetti catastrofici di eruzioni, terremoti, inondazioni, carestie ed epidemie, in territori geograficamente lontani e diversi tra loro – dal Mediterraneo occidentale all’America centrale e meridionale – tra l’età dei Lumi e quella delle Rivoluzioni. Sebbene queste aree fossero governate da m...

Becoming Mexipino

Becoming Mexipino is a social-historical interpretation of two ethnic groups, one Mexican, the other Filipino, whose paths led both groups to San Diego, California. Rudy Guevarra traces the earliest interactions of both groups with Spanish colonialism to illustrate how these historical ties and cultural bonds laid the foundation for what would become close interethnic relationships and communities in twentieth-century San Diego as well as in other locales throughout California and the Pacific West Coast. Through racially restrictive covenants and other forms of discrimination, both groups, regardless of their differences, were confined to segregated living spaces along with African Americans...

Arte y hagiografía, siglos XVI-XX

Desde el inicio de la evangelización de lo que ahora se conoce como América Latina, el arte, en sus diversas manifestaciones, fue un medio vital para mostrar el cristianismo a las culturas originarias. Muy pronto, los frailes se percataron de que ese medio, para que tuviera respuestas, no podía ser unilateral, es decir, solo europeo, sino que tenía que incorporar el universo americano. Primero en sus formas, gustos y colores; después, con el surgimiento y crecimiento de las ciudades, a mediados del siglo XVI, fue incorporando la conciencia de la existencia de una nueva tierra, con hombres diferentes a los de España.

Practicing Interdisciplinarity

  • Categories: Art

In interdisciplinary projects and research collaborations, participants face multiple demands. However, these expectations encounter a reality that is characterized by time pressure, high demands in one's own discipline, and often increasingly administrative tasks. What can meaningful interdisciplinary work look like in an academic environment? What tasks and constraints do researchers face? And, considering the range of disciplines involved, how can interdisciplinary research projects be designed in a successful way? How does one meaningfully bring different disciplines, their methods, and theories into conversation with each other across the spatial and temporal distance of their subjects?...

Este libro recopila las pautas de atención de patologías obstétricas, teniendo en cuenta la experiencia después de cinco años de que la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Obstétricos del Hospital Materno-Perinatal "Mónica Pretelini Sáenz" iniciara sus funciones. Esta es una obra necesaria debido a la alta mortalidad materna en México, y el grupo de médicos y enfermeras que participa en la redacción de los capítulos que la integran, comparte las directrices de actuación que contribuyen a mejorar el pronóstico de las pacientes. Los colaboradores están muy entusiasmados al saber que este libro puede ser la base para otros más extensos y diversos, y como el título da a etender, la suma de capacidades médicas es un punto clave para abatir la morbi-mortalidad materna.

Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture

With a focus on the object and where it is situated, in time (memory) and space (mobility), Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture embodies a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach. The chapters track the movement of the objects and their owner(s), within and between continents, countries, cities, and families. Objects have always been considered with an eye to their worth – economic, aesthetic, and/or functional. If that worth is diminished, their meaning and value disappear, they are just things. Yet things can still fulfil functions in our daily lives; they hold symbolic potential, from personal memory triggers, to focal points of public ritual and religion; from collectorsâ€...
