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 Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
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.
Prince, Pen, and Sword: Eurasian Perspectives
Prince, Pen, and Sword offers a synoptic interpretation of rulers and elites in Eurasia from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Four core chapters zoom in on the tensions and connections at court, on the nexus between rulers and religious authority, on the status, function, and self-perceptions of military and administrative elites respectively. Two additional concise chapters provide a focused analysis of the construction of specific dynasties (the Golden Horde and the Habsburgs) and narratives of kingship found in fiction throughout Eurasia. The contributors and editors, authorities in their fields, systematically bring together specialised literature on numerous Eurasian kingdoms and empires. This book is a careful and thought-provoking experiment in the global, comparative and connected history of rulers and elites.

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.
