Ambiguous Gender in Early Modern Spain and Portugal
From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions conducted a number of trials against individuals accused by members of their communities of being of the other gender – men accused of being women and women accused of being men – or even hermaphrodites. Using new inquisitorial sources, this study examines the complexities revolving around transgenderism and the construction of gender identity in the early modern Iberian World. It throws light upon the manner in which the Inquisition, medical practitioners and the wider society in Spain and Portugal responded to transgenderism and on the self-perception of individuals whose behaviour, whether consciously or unconsciously, flouted these social and sexual conventions.
The Making of an Enterprise
Based on more than two decades of research conducted on five continents, this monumental work focuses on the activities of members of the Society of Jesus from its foundation to the eve of its expulsion from the Portuguese world. A second volume will examine the Orders expulsion, the fate of its members, and the disposition of its assets in Portugal and her empire from 1750 to 1808. The present volume begins with the Societys introduction to Portugal and traces its expansion throughout what the Society defined as the Portuguese Assistancy, a vast complex of administrative units that included the kingdom of Portugal and her empire plus portions of the Indian subcontinent, Japan, China, th...
Views on Eighteenth Century Culture
This book provides significant new insights into the Enlightenment in Portugal and its relationships with other European cultural movements using Eugénio dos Santos (1711–1760) as a common reference point. Eugénio dos Santos was a Portuguese architect and city planner who, among other projects, was responsible for the plans to rebuild Lisbon after the earthquake of 1st November 1755. His artistic and technical training, architectural production, aesthetic preferences and some of the books in his private library point to a person who embodied the transition between two moments in Portuguese culture, with their specific characteristics and particular reception of the practices and ideas that circulated among European intellectuals and practitioners. Over the 18 chapters of this volume, several specialists in different disciplinary areas discuss ideas, libraries, printed and handwritten documents, drawings, printing techniques, and architects, philosophers and writers of the 18th century, in order to offer a broad view of a time period closely associated with the construction of modernity.

A sacralização do espaço Ibérico
No ocidente peninsular a ação protetora dos santos irá manifestar-se inicialmente, em escala local. Como instrumentos e expressões de poder, a posse de um patrimônio sagrado revelava um protagonismo, que era ampliado aos promotores e gestores do culto. O controle episcopal dos vestígios sagrados garantia enorme poder político a seus detentores, produzindo uma verdadeira batalha por sua obtenção. Quanto maior a coleção de objetos sublimes de um santuário, maior seu carisma religioso. Locais onde céu e terra se unem, os vestígios sagrados funcionavam como polos de atração de peregrinos. O contexto hispânico, marcado pela dominação muçulmana e por disputas pela primazia episcopal, tornou-se complexo e singular. A proliferação de relíquias neste território contribuiu para delimitar espaços especiais, que teriam prestígio diferenciado por sua sacralidade.
