Que besa su mano...
La primera tarea acometida por la autora fue la de acudir con una regularidad encomiable cada semana al archivo franciscano en Zapopan a leer y tomar notas, apoyada por Darío Armando Flores Soria, quien colaboró en este proyecto. Estas constantes idas de trabajo al archivo y la plena confianza en la importancia de la correspondencia femenina para proseguir en la brecha de la cultura y religión desde la perspectiva de género, línea de investigación en la que trabaja la autora y desarrolla sus investigaciones, empezó casi desde los inicios a dar frutos. A la fecha son importantes las aportaciones realizadas y que anteceden a esta nueva entrega. Y hay más productos; este material docume...
Preaching Power
"This book uses a gender perspective to examine sermons and other officially endorsed discourses of the Catholic Church in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Mexico City. Analyzing the different ways that, over time, gendered images, metaphors, and hagiographical examples were used in sermons and other documents, the book examines how the church negotiated challenges to its cultural and ideological hegemony. Beginning with sermons from the early eighteenth century, the author follows the evolution of church discourses as preachers reveled in Baroque analogies, embraced ideals of the Enlightenment, targeted women's alleged moral vices at times of political crisis, and ultimately turned to notions of women as ""the devout sex"" in order to combat incipient liberalism. Put another way, liberals after independence were not the only ones to assert a kind of ""republican motherhood"": preachers countered with a vision of ""Catholic motherhood"" that had great resonance in Mexico even into the twentieth century."
The Heart in the Glass Jar
The Heart in the Glass Jar begins with one man's literal heart (that of a prominent statesman in mid-nineteenth-century Mexico) but is truly about the hearts, bodies, legal entanglements, and letters--as both symbols and material objects--of northern Mexicans from the 1860s through the 1930s. William E. French's innovative study of courtship practice and family formation examines love letters of everyday folk within the framework of literacy studies and explores how love letters functioned culturally and legally. French begins by situating love letters in the context of the legal system, which protected the moral order of families and communities and also perpetuated the gender order--the fo...
A Violent God-Image
Theologian and psychotherapist Eugen Drewermann has been the most significant, the most prolific, and the best-selling theological writer in the German language over the past quarter century. Drewermann shows that religion, including Christianity, turns violent mentally, spiritually, and even physically if it uses fear as a motive for faith— fear of exclusion from the group, fear of hell, and fear of God. At the heart of Drewermann's nonviolent interpretation of key Christian beliefs is his analysis of a violent image of God that characterizes traditional interpretations of sin and the cross. It is this God-image, opposed to human desires and self-realization, that sanctified the killings ...
Catholic Women and Mexican Politics, 1750–1940
"Historians have long looked to networks of elite liberal and anti-clerical men as the driving forces in Mexican history over the course of the long nineteenth century. This traditional view, writes Margaret Chowning, cannot account for the continued power of the Catholic Church in Mexico, which has withstood extensive and sustained political opposition for over a century. How, then, must the scholarly consensus change to better reflect Mexico's history? In this book, Chowning shows that the church repeatedly emerged as a political player, even when liberals won elections, primarily because of the overlooked importance of women in politics. Catholic women kept the church alive through the wa...
Mexican Exodus
In the summer of 1926, an army of Mexican Catholics launched a war against their government. Bearing aloft the banners of Christ the King and the Virgin of Guadalupe, they equipped themselves not only with guns, but also with scapulars, rosaries, prayers, and religious visions. These soldiers were called cristeros, and the war they fought, which would continue until the mid-1930s, is known as la Cristiada, or the Cristero war. The most intense fighting occurred in Mexico's west-central states, especially Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Michoac n. For this reason, scholars have generally regarded the war as a regional event, albeit one with national implications. Yet in fact, the Cristero war crosse...
La guerra cristera
Este libro pretende presentar las visiones generadas durante varias décadas sobre el conflicto armado de los años 1926-1929, así como del segundo levantamiento en algunas regiones, en los años treinta; a partir del análisis de la narrativa, los testimonios y la propaganda. Si bien el corrido es la forma de expresión popular más utilizada para preservar la memoria de los acontecimientos importantes, de sectores sociales olvidados por la historia oficial, la narrativa popular cumple también esa función. En esta obra se presenta como el primer género discursivo, ya que, a través de ella, se han expresado visiones de un conflicto de no fácil asimilación en nuestra conciencia del pasado. La lectura de los testimonios, cuentos y memorias de la guerra cristera comunica los sentimientos de impotencia, frustración y las huellas de dolor que el conflicto entre la Iglesia católica y el Estado dejaron en la conciencia histórica de esa generación de mexicanos.
