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...
The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation
The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus’s papal suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain controversial, with new research and interpretations continually appearing. Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history.
