Historia de la transexualidad
Cada cultura ha esperado de la persona que nace biológicamente hombre, unos determinados valores, actitudes y modos de afrontar su propia existencia, que debían ser cumplidos para de ese modo ser aceptado en la comunidad plenamente. Sin embargo, todo lo que se salía (y se sale aún en la actualidad) de estas normas debía ser arrinconado, anulado o corregido en el mejor de los casos, como ocurría con las personas que manifestaban una sexualidad diferente a los patrones heteronormativos, o una divergencia entre el sexo biológico y al que sentían pertenecer. La obra que tiene entre sus manos recoge por vez primera un análisis profundo y riguroso sobre la transexualidad, incluyendo un pe...
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).

Mujeres solas
Mujeres solas Claudio Marcelo traza la historia de unas mujeres durante un periodo convulso de la historia de España, que abarca desde septiembre de 1934 hasta los albores de la Guerra Civil, en agosto de 1936. «Escudriñaba delante del espejo el vivo recuerdo de aquellos indescifrables años y la veía junto a mí, sonriendo, con la luz diáfana y traslúcida de una todavía joven princesa de cabellos dorados que retenía incólume la auténtica juventud, llena de gracia y alegría, no obstante, un empolvado tiempo, inquietante, amenazador, trágico, y por qué no, de igual forma, sublime». Un relato que transcurre en un escenario terrible entre Madrid, París, Agaete (Gran Canaria), y V...
Dark Prisms
The mythological, folkloric, and religious beliefs of Western culture have resulted in a long and ongoing history of esoteric themes in theatre from the Middle Ages to the present in Spain and the America. Now Robert Lima, a noted comparatist, brings to bear on this material his wide knowledge of the world of the occult. Lima defines the terms "occult" and "occultism" broadly to embrace the many ways in which humans have sought to fathom a secret knowledge held to be accessible only through such supernatural agencies as alchemy, angelology, asceticism, astrology, demonolatry, divination, ecstasy, magic, necromancy, possession, Santeria, séances, voudoun, and witchcraft. The dramatic works covered range from medieval materializations of Hell to the Golden Age plays of Lope de vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca, to modern stage works by Valle-Inclán, García Lorca, Casona, Miras, and a number of significant Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean dramatists. The concluding comprehensive bibliography of the drama of the occult is invaluable.

The Council of Trent: Reform and Controversy in Europe and Beyond (1545-1700)
Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.
