Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
In Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz: Feminist Reconstruction of Biography and Text, Yugar invites you to accompany Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a seventeenth-century protofeminist and ecofeminist, on her lifelong journey within three communities of women in the Americas. Sor Juana's goal was to reconcile inequalities between men and women in central Mexico and between the Spaniards and the indigenous Nahua population of New Spain. Yugar reconstructs a her-story narrative through analysis of two primary texts Sor Juana wrote en sus propias palabras (in her own words), El Sueno (The Dream) and La Respuesta (The Answer). Yugar creates a historically-based narrative in which Sor Juana's sueno of a more just world becomes a living nightmare haunted by misogyny in the form of the church, the Spanish Tribunal, Jesuits, and more--all seeking her destruction. In the process, Sor Juana "hoists [them] with their own petard." In seventeenth-century colonial Mexico, just as her Latina sisters in the Americas are doing today, Sor Juana used her pluma (pen) to create counternarratives in which the wisdom of women and the Nahua inform her sueno of a more just world for all.
A Maturing Market
Within just a generation or two of its arrival, print had become a ubiquitous and spirited part of Spain and Portugal’s urban cultures. It serviced an ever-expanding reading public, as well as many and varied practical quotidian needs. Its impact on society was multi-dimensional and complex, and its social reach far broader than the civic or ecclesiastical elites were ever to be entirely comfortable with. This cross-disciplinary volume of essays focuses on the maturing marketplace for print in the first half of the seventeenth century, shedding new light on some important transformations, with authors and publishers seizing opportunities available to them – negotiating the regulatory efforts of the censors, and scrambling to reconfigure their relationship with their readers.
Cave, City, and Eagle's Nest

History of Mathematical Sciences
This book explores the interaction between Europe and East Asia between the 16th and the 18th centuries in the field of mathematical sciences, bringing to the fore the role of Portugal as an agent of transmission of European science to East Asia. It is an important contribution to understanding this fundamental period of scientific history, beginning with the arrival of Vasco da Gama in India in 1498 and ending with the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from Portugal in 1759. The former event opened a new era in relations between Europe and Asia, in particular regarding the circulation of scientific knowledge, leading to major social and intellectual changes in both continents. The Society of Jesus controlled education in Portugal and in the Empire. It was central to the network of knowledge transmission until the Society was expelled from Portugal in 1759.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: ?

Women of the Bible
The Hebrew Bible and art reside at the core of this book, which analyzes the iconographic representation of several women of the Bible. The contributors consider the ways in which the biblical texts regarding these women had been read and understood throughout time and the means by which they were represented. Each study also explores the different values associated with these representations according to the problems, worries and concerns of each period. Drawing upon disciplines such as theology, philology or history of art, the essays within this volume provide a cross-sectional, plural and rich approach. In focusing upon iconographic representation, numerous visual cultures of the last millennium are explored, and special emphasis is placed upon several integral biblical women such as Bathsheba, Moses' mother, the Pharaoh's Daughter, Ruth, Naomi and Deborah, and their lasting influence upon Western art and culture. This book pursues an understanding of the history of the transmission and reception of the Bible in general, and of the women of the Old Testament in particular.
Campesinas, burguesas y señoras en la Baja Edad Media
Este libro afronta un objetivo de largo recorrido historiográfico: la visibilización de las mujeres, de modo individual y colectivo, en la Historia de la Baja Edad Media. Desde un punto de vista eminentemente social, en sus páginas se pone de relieve el estatus como un elemento clave a la hora de interpretar sus experiencias y sus contribuciones al desarrollo de la sociedad en los dos últimos siglos del medievo. Las mujeres del campesinado y de los grupos urbanos, junto con aquellas que pertenecieron a los linajes aristocráticos y las reinas se convierten así en el eje a través del cual explorar el mundo del trabajo, las relaciones económicas, el ejercicio del poder y la resolución de conflictos, entre otros aspectos. Todo ello a lo largo de veintiséis capítulos, a cargo de treinta y un especialistas, reunidos con el propósito añadido de ofrecer un afectuoso homenaje académico a la profesora de la Universidad de Zaragoza María del Carmen García Herrero, con motivo de su reciente jubilación.
Intervención social y género
Este libro sobre Intervención Social y Género se sitúa en el terreno aún poco explorado de la Pedagogía Social y los Estudios de Género. A partir de una exposición sobre los llamados 'Estudios de Género' se abordan temas como la socialización y los estereotipos de género, dejando clara la tarea imprescindible de la educación; aspectos de las desigualdades de género en el mundo del trabajo y en el fenómeno de las migraciones; situación de las mujeres víctimas de la exclusión social y de la violencia de género, a lo que se suman varias experiencias de intervención desde la animación sociocultural y la educación en valores para la igualdad. Un texto especialmente interesante y necesario para quienes trabajan en la intervención social con mujeres en situación de exclusión social.
