The Mystical Science of the Soul
"Ultimately, I propose that considering internalization as embodiment is a critical methodological shift in understanding mystical methods in general, and especially for probing recollection mysticism in depth. The inner man as opposed to the outer man is a Pauline and Lutheran commonplace that is too frequently taken out of context, leading historians of the Renaissance in general, and of Spanish Renaissance religion in particular, to value references to internal (or mental) methods of spirituality as an improvement over external (or bodily) rituals. This book takes its cue from the recent 'cognitive turn' in medieval studies that complicates studies of the body in religion by focusing on t...
Carajicomedia
A study and edition of one of the most ignored works of early Spanish literature because of its strong sexual content, this work examines the social ideology that conditioned the reactions of people to the events it describes as well as Fernando de Rojas's masterpiece, Celestina.
Books in the Catholic World during the Early Modern Period
The Reformation is often alluded to as Gutenberg’s child. Could it then be said that the Counter-Reformation was his step-child? The close relationship between the Reformation, the printing press and books has received extensive, historiographical attention, which is clearly justified; however, the links between books and the Catholic world have often been limited to a tale of censorship and repression. The current volume looks beyond this, with a series of papers that aim to shed new light on the complex relationships between Catholicism and books during the early modern period, before and after the religious schism, with special focus on trade, common reads and the mechanisms used to control readership in different territories, together with the similarities between the Catholic and the Protestant worlds. Contributors include: Stijn Van Rossem, Rafael M. Pérez García, Pedro J. Rueda Ramírez, Idalia García Aguilar, Bianca Lindorfer, Natalia Maillard Álvarez, and Adrien Delmas.
New worlds for old words / Mundos nuevos para viejas palabras
"New worlds for old words / Mundos nuevos para viejas palabras" is a collection of chapters on the theme of lexical borrowing in the languages of Western Europe with particular focus on borrowing from Latin, or from Greek via Latin, into Spanish. Such cultured, or “learnèd” borrowing—as it has sometimes been designated—, is an especially intriguing feature of the Romance languages, since they also derive from Latin. It is also of particular interest to historical linguists since it is an example of what has been called “change from above”: innovation first evidenced in the written usage of the culturally élite which then diffuses into more general acceptance, with the result th...
Aztec Latin
Soon after the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521, missionaries began teaching Latin to native youths in Mexico. This initiative was intended to train indigenous students for positions of leadership, but it led some of them to produce significant writings of their own in Latin, and to translate a wide range of literature, including Aesop's fables, into their native language. Aztec Latin reveals the full extent to which the first Mexican authors mastered and made use of European learning and provides a timely reassessment of what those indigenous authors really achieved.
Do manuscrito ao livro impresso e eletrónico III
Este terceiro volume, decorrente das várias sessões que se realizaram no Departamento de Línguas e Culturas da Universidade de Aveiro, inseridas no Ciclo de Conferências “Do manuscrito ao livro impresso e eletrónico” (quinta e sexta edições), vem dar seguimento aos dois anteriores, em que nos propusemos promover a investigação e divulgação científica na área da História do Livro e da Edição, no âmbito das atividades curriculares da Licenciatura em Línguas e Estudos Editoriais e do Mestrado em Estudos Editoriais do Departamento de Línguas e Culturas da Universidade de Aveiro. Um dos principais objetivos da realização deste projeto de cariz científico-pedagógico continua a ser o de fomentar e aprofundar a articulação entre investigação e ensino, proporcionando aos alunos do primeiro e do segundo ciclos um contacto privilegiado com diferentes especialistas, peritos em matérias relacionadas com a história da edição e com a produção editorial. Ademais, o desenvolvimento desta iniciativa vem estreitando e consolidando a já longa e profícua cooperação entre o Departamento de Línguas e Culturas e a Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra.
Euro igual Neoliberalismo mais Socialismo
Um livro que apresenta a evolução do pensamento e da política económica europeia, desde o período em que se pode considerar que a expressão mercantilismo correspondia a uma atuação deliberada, numa época em que a palavra «democracia» não figurava nem nos textos nem nos pensamentos seja dos teóricos seja dos responsáveis políticos, até à atualidade, em que todas as ações se fazem ao abrigo dessa ideia-mestra. «Acho que a tese N+S resulta relativamente bem demonstrada e que a causa do livro e a motivação do Autor resultam justificadas. O livro revela-se simples e todavia muito bem documentado.» Miguel José Ribeiro Cadilhe (ex-ministro das Finanças) «[Quero] deixar a m...
Spanish Language and Sociolinguistic Analysis
This book explores the current state of Spanish sociolinguistics and its contribution to theories of language variation and change, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. It offers original analyses on a variety of topics across a wide spectrum of linguistic subfields from different formal, experimental, and corpus-based standpoints. The volume is organized around six thematic sections: (i) Cutting-edge Methodologies in Sociolinguistics; (ii) Bilingualism; (iii) Language Acquisition; (iv) Phonological Variation; (v) Morpho-Syntactic Variation; and (vi) Lexical Variation. As a whole, this collection reflects an array of approaches and analyses that show how in its variation across speakers, speech communities, linguistic contexts, communicative situations, dialects, and time, the Spanish language provides an immense wealth of data to challenge accepted linguistic views and shape new theoretical proposals in the field of language variation and change. Spanish Language and Sociolinguistic Analysis represents a significant contribution to the growing field of Spanish sociolinguistics.
