Le manuel des inquisiteurs
A partial reprint of the text by Nicolau Eymerich (1376) with commentaries and additions by Francisco Peña (1578). A collection of instructions for the use of Inquisition officials, including descriptions of the victims of persecution (e.g. heretics, Conversos, etc.), procedures to be followed (e.g. denunciation, investigation, interrogation, sentencing), as well as the powers invested in the Inquisitors (e.g. torture, imprisonment, confiscation). The preface to this edition (p. 9-28), by Leonardo Boff, denounces the Inquisition as an intolerant, un-Christian institution, established to eradicate all that is different.
Connexions - Manuel pour la lutte contre le discours de haine en ligne par l'éducation aux droits de l'homme
L’action du Conseil de l’Europe en faveur de la démocratie est fortement axée sur l’éducation : l’éducation à l’école, mais aussi l’éducation en tant que pratique de la démocratie tout au long de la vie, comme dans le cadre des activités d’apprentissage non formel. L’éducation aux droits de l’homme et l’éducation à la citoyenneté démocratique font partie intégrante du socle que nous devons bâtir pour faire de la démocratie une réalité durable. Le discours de haine est l’une des formes les plus inquiétantes de racisme et de discrimination qui sévit aujourd’hui en Europe, amplifiée par internet et les médias sociaux. Le discours de haine en ligne ...
Manuel de Falla
Drawing extensively on primary sources, this study in three parts provides a detailed biography, examines the most prominent aspects of Falla's character as they pertained to his relationships with other composers and his own music, and sheds light on his creative process as a composer through examination of many of his works with reference to original scores and correspondence, many of which are published here for the first time. A chronological photo section rounds out this offering of great significance for music teachers and students as well as those with an interest in Spanish culture.
The Trade in the Living
Macro-level study of the South Atlantic throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries demonstrating how Brazils emergence was built on the longest and most intense slave trade of the modern era. The seventeenth-century missionary and diplomat Father Antônio Vieira once observed that Brazil was nourished, animated, sustained, served, and conserved by the sad blood of the black and unfortunate souls imported from Angola. In The Trade in the Living, Luiz Felipe de Alencastro demonstrates how the African slave trade was an essential element in the South Atlantic and in the ongoing cohesion of Portuguese America, while at the same time the concrete interests of Brazilian colonists, dependent on Angolan slaves, were often violently asserted in Africa, to ensure men and commodities continued to move back and forth across the Atlantic. In exposing this intricate and complementary relationship between two non-European continents, de Alencastro has fashioned a new and challenging examination of colonial Brazil, one that moves beyond its relationship with Portugal to discover a darker, hidden history.
Whose Spain?
English with excerpts in Spanish and French.
The Jesuit Order As a Synagogue of Jews
In "The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews" the author explains how Christians with Jewish family backgrounds went within less than forty years from having a leading role in the foundation of the Society of Jesus to being prohibited from membership in it. The author works at the intersection to two important historical topics, each of which attracts considerable scholarly attention but that have never received sustained and careful attention together, namely, the early modern histories of the Jesuit order and of Iberian purity of blood concerns. An analysis of the pro- and anti-converso texts in this book (both in terms of what they are claiming and what their limits are) advance our understanding of early modern, institutional Catholicism at the intersection of early modern religious reform and the new racism developing in Spain and spreading outwards.
L’Écriture est la peinture de la voix
L’Écriture est la peinture de la voix honours and celebrates the inestimable contributions that Professor Nicholas Cronk has made to our understanding of the Enlightenment. As director of the University of Oxford’s Voltaire Foundation, he has played a decisive role in eighteenth-century studies. In particular he has shaped our knowledge of Voltaire as a writer, celebrity and era-defining figure whose influence has continued to be felt through the centuries. Comprising essays by a host of internationally eminent scholars, this volume is a fitting tribute to the esteem and affection in which Nicholas Cronk is held as a colleague, teacher and mentor. These sixteen essays reflect his varied...
