En tu nombre. Dolor reciclado presenta las historias de nueve madres que –a partir de la pérdida de un hijo o de una hija víctimas de diferentes hechos de violencia– han transitado ese dolor reclamando justicia, luchando y llevando a cabo acciones concretas en beneficio de la sociedad.La perseverancia, la solidaridad, la empatía y el compromiso las caracterizan.Su trabajo diario no cesa. Saben que nunca llegarán al final del camino porque, en cada paso se les suman muchas mujeres cuyas vidas se ven sacudidas por tragedias similares a las de sus hijos.La resiliencia es la capacidad del ser humano para hacer frente a las adversidades de la vida, superarlas e, inclusive, ser transformado por ellas. Silvia Irigaray, Elsa Gómez, Nora Iglesias, Marta Canillas, Viviam Perrone, Isabel Yaconis, Elvira Torres –Madres del Dolor-, Isabel Vázquez –Madres contra el Paco- y Rosa Bru –Asociación Miguel Bru, son el ejemplo de esta capacidad.Para ellas, nuestro profundo respeto e infinita admiración.
Die marmorne Liegestatue der frühchristlichen Jungfrau und Märtyrerin Cäcilie, die sich seit ihrer Entstehung zum Jubeljahr 1600 an ihrem ursprünglichen Aufstellungsort in Rom befindet, gilt aufgrund innovativer Rahmung und Formensprache als bahnbrechend in der westlichen Kunst. Im Hinblick auf ihren kulturellen, religiösen, sozialen und politischen Hintergrund wurde sie aber bislang noch nie umfassend untersucht. Die vorliegende, interdisziplinäre Studie widmet sich genau diesem Kraftfeld. Es bestimmt die Genese, Bedeutung und frühe Rezeption des Grabbildes Cäciliens wie auch des Stifters, Kardinal Paolo Camillo Sfondrato. Die Figur wirkt nicht nur im gesamten Kircheninnenraum der d...
A presente obra é fruto de encontros e trocas de experiências de professores e professoras que atuam em universidade, escolas e outros espaços, trabalhando com dança. Encontros são perolas que geram debates e reflexões. O rico material que é produzido nesses momentos deve ser socializado, para que possa constituir em ações pedagógicas com qualidade. A dança está sempre presente na vida do ser humano, desde seus primórdios e permanece se modificando e se transformando toda vez que, corpos descobrem novas formas de se comunicarem e se expressarem pelo movimento. Que as experiências exitosas que autores/as compartilham nessa obra possam ser fermentos para novas propostas de dança na escola.
Arriving in Rome from the Netherlands in 1895, the Catholic priest and Redemptorist Willem van Rossum (1854–1932) rose quickly through the ranks of the curia. In many ways an outsider, he made a resounding success of his career. His zeal in the fight against the ‘virus of modernism’ earned him a cardinal’s hat in 1911, and he was appointed prefect of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide in 1918. As ‘red pope’ or head of the Vatican’s mission department, Van Rossum led a hard-fought and ultimately successful campaign to separate missionary policy, fundraising and staffing from Western nationalism, and concentrate control over the worldwide missionary project at supranational leve...
1478 was the year in which Leonardo da Vinci, aged 26, obtained his first official commission and witnessed the Pazzi Conspiracy against the Medici family. In that year, he probably opened his independent workshop, leaving that of his master Andrea del Verrocchio, and, in its final months, he began to paint two paintings representing the Virgin Mary. One of these paintings is very likely the Benois Madonna at the State Hermitage, St. Petersburg; a work that marks a strong change in Leonardo’s style and power of expression and his representation of light and human emotions. This book provides an in-depth analysis of Leonardo’s growth as an artist in this year, detailing his training, his culture, his collaboration with Verrocchio, and his engagement in the artistic and cultural life of 1460s and 1470s Florence.
L’amicizia fra Alcide Gasperi e Stefano Jacini, nata durante il ventennio fascista, divenne uno dei legami più significativi mantenuti dal politico trentino con la passata esperienza del Partito Popolare. Questo volume ne ripercorre l’itinerario attraverso il dialogo intrapreso dai due cattolici antifascisti nel comune «esilio in patria». La solidarietà dimostrata dal cattolicoliberale lombardo nei confronti del futuro presidente del Consiglio – incarcerato dal regime nel 1927 e, dal 1929, bibliotecario vaticano – si trasformò in una collaborazione culturale che diede origine a riflessioni e pubblicazioni storiche di ampio respiro sui rapporti fra cattolicesimo e libertà nella ...
A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal is the first comprehensive overview of its subject in English or any language. Cardinals are best known as the pope’s electors, but in the centuries from 1400 to 1800 they were so much more: pastors, inquisitors, diplomats, bureaucrats, statesmen, saints; entrepreneurs and investors; patrons of the arts, of music, literature, and science. Thirty-five essays explain their social background, positions and roles in Rome and beyond, and what they meant for wider society. This volume shows the impact which those men who took up the purple had in their respective fields and how their tenure of office shaped the entangled histories of Rome and the Catholic Church from a European and global perspective.
