The royal descendants of King James VI of Scotland, the first of the House of Stuart to rule England.
The Transatlantic Hispanic Baroque
Gathering a group of internationally renowned scholars, this volume presents cutting-edge research on the complex processes of identity formation in the transatlantic world of the Hispanic Baroque. Identities in the Hispanic world are deeply intertwined with sociological concepts such as class and estate, with geography and religion (i.e. the mixing of Spanish Catholics with converted Jews, Muslims, Dutch and German Protestants), and with issues related to the ethnic diversity of the world’s first transatlantic empire and its various miscegenations. Contributors to this volume offer the reader diverse vantage points on the challenging problem of how identities in the Hispanic world may be analyzed and interpreted. A number of contributors relate earlier processes and formations to Neo-Baroque and postmodern conceptualisations of identity. Given the strong interest in identity and identity-formation within contemporary cultural studies, the book will be of interest to a broad group of readers from the fields of law, geography, history, anthropology and literature.

The Early Modern Jesuit Attitude towards Hindu and Ethiopian Strains of Asceticism
This book presents an early modern Jesuit attitude towards Hindu and Ethiopian strains of asceticism. The Jesuits’ descriptions of both the yogis and the Ethiopian renunciates were marked by ambivalence. While critical of these ascetics, the missionaries also pointed out admirable facets of their comportment. In both the Society of Jesus’ positive and negative impressions, there are glaring ethnocentric views that shift the spotlight onto the other’s flaws. Like many historical cases, these perceptions evolved into a sort of inverted mirror image of the self that revealed differences between the European Catholic and the native renunciate.
Shipwreck in the Early Modern Hispanic World
Shipwreck in the Early Modern Hispanic World examines portrayals of nautical disasters in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish literature and culture. The essays collected here showcase shipwreck's symbolic deployment to question colonial expansion and transoceanic trade; to critique the Christian enterprise overseas; to signal the collapse of dominant social order; and to relay moral messages and represent socio-political debates.
Ejercicios espirituales de S. Ignacio
"Nueva Edición, corregida y aumentada" La segunda edición de la historia y análisis de los Ejercicios aparece 17 años después de su predecesora. A lo largo de este tiempo, el autor ha seguido trabajando y profundizando en el manual ignaciano. Así, además de una revisión y actualización completa de la obra, esta nueva edición se ve enriquecida con dos aportaciones fundamentales: un minucioso estudio sobre la génesis y composición del texto desde sus más tempranas etapas y una síntesis final en la que, revisadas las teologías contemporáneas sobre los Ejercicios ?E. Przywara, G. Fessard, K. Rahner, H.U. von Balthasar?, Santiago Arzubialde ofrece el telón de fondo dogmático sobre el que, en su opinión, debería ser interpretado en el futuro el texto ignaciano.
Ignatian Spirituality at Ecclesial Frontiers
The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, presuppose Roman Catholicism, but are today made by many who are not Catholics. Moreover, even Roman Catholics who make Ignatian Exercises often are not spontaneously inclined to obey Roman ecclesiastical authority. Neither avoiding the ecclesial dimension nor an authoritarian 'follow the rules!' provides adequate orientation when working with issues at Church frontiers. This ground-breaking study in pastoral theology seeks to navigate a middle position by moving beyond the individualism and the a-historical assumptions of the existing relevant literature. The aim of this book is to take Ignatian studies forward by combining relational anthropology, hermeneutics and a sacramental understanding of the Church, and to apply this synthesis to the practice of Ignatian Exercises.
