Knowing Fictions
European exploration and conquest expanded exponentially in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and as the horizons of imperial experience grew more distant, strategies designed to convey the act of witnessing came to be a key source of textual authority. From the relación to the captivity narrative, the Hispanic imperial project relied heavily on the first-person authority of genres whose authenticity undergirded the ideological armature of national consolidation, expansion, and conquest. At the same time, increasing pressures for religious conformity in Spain, as across Europe, required subjects to bare themselves before external authorities in intimate confessions of their faith....
Conceptual and Contextual Perspectives on the Modern Law of Treaties
In recent years there has been a flourishing body of work on the Law of Treaties, crucial for all fields within international law. However, scholarship on modern treaty law falls into two distinct strands which have not previously been effectively synthesized. One concerns the investigation of concepts which are fundamental to or inherent in the law of treaties generally - such as consent, object and purpose, breach of obligation and provisional application - while the other focuses upon the application of treaties and of treaty law in particular substantive (e.g. human rights, international humanitarian law, investment protection, environmental regulation) or institutional contexts (including the Security Council, the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization and the World Trade Organization). This volume represents the culmination of a series of collaborative explorations by leading experts into the operation, development and effectiveness of the modern law of treaties, as viewed through these contrasting perspectives.
The Oxford Handbook of Parenting and Moral Development
The Oxford Handbook of Parenting and Moral Development provides a collection of state-of-the-art theories and research on the role that parents play in moral development. Contributors who are leaders in their fields take a comprehensive, yet nuanced approach to considering the complex links between parenting and moral development. The volume begins by providing an overview of traditional and contemporary perspectives on parenting and moral development, including perspectives related to parenting styles, domain theory, attachment theory, and evolutionary theory. In addition, there are several chapters that explore the genetic and biological influences related to parenting and moral developmen...
Struggles for recognition
Over the past decades, an increasingly influential Political Philosophy approach has been seen to defend issues relating to cultural injustices. The daily struggles arising from political agendas within different societies confirm this. This perspective can be summarised using the Hegelian expression “struggle for recognition”, and it is this expression that underpins the current position of minorities members and their defenders. This means that misrecognition, disrespect, and humiliation form the base of (cultural) injustices and must be avoided. Minorities are a fundamental part of democratic societies, but their rights have not always been respected. Inmigrants are currently the obje...
The Ulysses Theme
This book offers substance to contemporary reflections on manhood by looking at comradeship, heroism, virtue, wandering, trickery, father-son issues, relations between men and a variety of feminine forms, and the intervention of the Gods. The author surveys the range of responses--from Euripides to Kazantzakis--to Ulysses' ambiguous nature, transforming Homeric studies by focusing on literary and psychological analysis.
The Music of Juan de Anchieta
This book explores Juan de Anchieta’s life and his music and, for the first time, presents a critical study of the life and works of a major Spanish composer from the time of Ferdinand and Isabel. A key figure in musical developments in Spain in the decades around 1500, Anchieta served in the Castilian royal chapel for over thirty years, from his appointment in 1489 as a singer in the household of Queen Isabel, and he continued to receive a pension from her grandson, the Emperor Charles V, until his death in 1523. He traveled to Flanders in the service of the Catholic Monarchs’ daughter Juana, and was briefly music master to Charles himself. Anchieta, along with Francisco de Peñalosa, h...
El pensamiento arquitectónico en España en el siglo XIX a través de las revistas artísticas del reinado isabelino
Dentro del panorama de la historiografía artística española del siglo XIX, las revistas artísticas que vieron la luz durante el reinado isabelino constituyen una fuente a la que hasta este momento no se había prestado demasiada atención, principalmente porque el carácter divulgativo de muchos de esos títulos los ha hecho parecer a ojos de los especialistas carentes de rigor histórico y por tanto de relevancia en la evolución de la Historia del Arte en nuestro país. Sin embargo, el papel que desempeñaron algunas revistas como Semanario Pintoresco Español, El Laberinto, Museo de las Familias o El Mundo Pintoresco a la hora de dar a conocer al conjunto de la sociedad las nuevas teo...
Manual de especialización en pericia judicial
La potestad jurisdiccional consiste en la actuación o realización del derecho, es decir, la aplicación del derecho al caso concreto. Los jueces y magistrados, integrantes del Poder Judicial, a quienes nuestra Constitución atribuye en exclusiva dicha potestad, son, necesariamente conocedores de las normas jurídicas. El conocimiento del derecho por parte de jueces y magistrados es, posiblemente, tan incontestable como el desconocimiento, por parte de los mismos, de muchísimas materias, ciencias o técnicas que, con ocasión del ejercicio de la potestad jurisdiccional pueden resultar esenciales para discernir o determinar hechos que resultan relevantes o determinantes del contenido de sus...
