Teresa de Jesús
"Large portfolio follows format of earlier work by same authors (see item #bi 97015334#), this time documenting 16 17th-century canvases from the Cuzco School depicting the life of Saint Theresa of Jesus. Presumably all originally acquired in 1744 by the convent of San José de Carmelitas Descalzas in Córdoba, Argentina, a few of these paintings are now in other museums in the same city. Concise bilingual Spanish-English text describes each of the paintings comparing the iconography to other similar works in Peru and elsewhere in South America. On the basis of stylistic analysis, the authors attribute the paintings to a follower of the well-known Cuzco painter José Espinoza de los Monteros. B/w photographs are of uneven quality, but color plates provide valuable details"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
Comerciantes, censores y bibliotecas
En un sesudo análisis sobre la circulación del libro entre España y Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII, se examinan los mecanismos de control del comercio y las ideas, a través de una reconstrucción documental de los procesos de censura y control inquisitorial. Así mismo, se estudia la red de comercio de libros entre estos territorios, respondiendo a las preguntas de quiénes estaban detrás, con quiénes se relacionaban y cómo se desenvolvían dentro de esta red. Finalmente, para entender el clima cultural y las ideas que circularon en este territorio, se investigaron con detalle varias bibliotecas y libros que viajaron hacia la Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII y que pertenecieron a instituciones religiosas, autoridades civiles y a personas particulares.
