El municipio medieval: nuevas perspectivas
En esta obra colectiva, varios historiadores del derecho y de las instituciones estudian la evolución de las estructuras municipales desde la época tardo-romana hasta la Edad Media y las formas de prefeudalismo y feudalismo hispánico. También se analiza la pervivencia de la tradición islámica en las instituciones concejiles, la contribución franca a la formación urbana de los reinos peninsulares y la autonomía concejil frente a las encomiendas monásticas. En varios capítulos se estudia la administración territorial y local, la potestad normativa y sancionadora municipal así como diversas instituciones singulares como las merindades, la caballería de sierra, etc. In this collect...
Representing Others in Medieval Iberian Literature
Representing Others in Medieval Iberian Literature explores the ways Arabic, Jewish and Christian intellectuals in medieval Iberia (courtiers and clerics) adapt and transform the Andalusi go-between figure in order to represent their own role as cultural intermediaries. While these authors are of different religious, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, they use the go-between, an essential figure in the Andalusi courtly discourse of desire, to open up a secular, more tolerant intellectual space in the face of increasingly fundamentalist currents in their respective cultures. The way this study focuses on the hybrid discourses and identities of medieval Iberia as Muslim, Jewish and Christian responses to continual contact/conflict reflects a methodological approach based in Cultural and Translation Studies.
La otra mirada: el "exemplum" histórico
El exemplum histórico es una de las formas más difundidas del relato breve medieval. Acontecimientos, anécdotas, leyendas, crónicas han sido unas de las tantas fuentes que sirvieron para crear este especial tipo de narración. El presente estudio ofrece por primera vez un estudio global de esta forma narrativa que transitó toda la Edad Media y todos sus géneros. Cada capítulo va acompañado de Excursus que ofrecen estudios particulares sobre autores y relatos. El exemplum histórico no fue para el hombre medieval una forma entre otras de relatar acontecimientos: en sus manos se transformó en una manera más libre y personal de mirar la historia.
El libro de buen amor de Juan Ruiz, Archiprêtre de Hita
Les 15 textes sur le Libro de buen amor que nous avons réunis dans ce volume obéissent à un critère à la fois scientifique et didactique. D'où trois grands axes dans lesquels se profile la démarche du lecteur qui s'ouvre peu à peu à l'oeuvre de l'Archiprêtre : - Découverte de l'oeuvre: Quatre articles sur la réalité historique et la connaissance globale du poème et de son auteur. Les problématiques qui y sont développées renvoient à des questions qui, inévitablement, se présenteront dans tel ou tel sujet de dissertation . - Thèmes et interprétations : Quatre articles proposent un approfondissement sur des questions spécifiques qui viendront à l'appui d'une argumentati...

Tango Lessons
From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. Contributors. Esteban Buch, Oscar Conde, Antonio Gómez, Morgan James Luker, Carolyn Merritt, Marilyn G. Miller, Fernando Rosenberg, Alejandro Susti
