Cousins and Strangers
More than four million Spaniards came to the Western Hemisphere between the mid-nineteenth century and the Great Depression. Unlike that of most other Europeans, their major destination was Argentina, not the United States. Studies of these immigrants—mostly laborers and peasants—have been scarce in comparison with studies of other groups of smaller size and lesser influence. Presenting original research within a broad comparative framework, Jose C. Moya fills a considerable gap in our knowledge of immigration to Argentina, one of the world's primary "settler" societies. Moya moves deftly between micro- and macro-analysis to illuminate the immigration phenomenon. A wealth of primary sources culled from dozens of immigrant associations, national and village archives, and interviews with surviving participants in Argentina and Spain inform his discussion of the origins of Spanish immigration, residence patterns, community formation, labor, and cultural cognitive aspects of the immigration process. In addition, he provides valuable material on other immigrant groups in Argentina and gives a balanced critique of major issues in migration studies.
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.
A patria enteira
O tránsito cara á situación da jubilatio dun profesor universitario aconsella facer un alto no camiño e convocar a colegas e discípulos a unha celebración algo especial. Non se trata de palabras e músicas que leve o vento, nin de fastos propios de "paraninfos", senón de traballos e investigacións, cuxos contidos han de ficar para o porvir. Esta foi a idea que nos moveu para elaborar este libro-homenaxe ao profesor Xosé Ramón Barreiro Fernández. A iniciativa foi ben doada, pola disposición que todos os participantes amosaron para contribuíren ao que se lles demandaba. E os resultados á vista están, neste volume que será por tempo punto de referencia para a historia da cultura galega, nomeadamente da súa época máis recente.
