Con la primera edición, se advertía acerca de los riesgos de las políticas de la Organización Mundial del Comercio, que irían a imponer unas condiciones totalmente desconocidas y repudiadas por los países en desarrollo. Esa advertencia ha dejado de ser mero vaticinio y se ha convertido en una realidad. Joseph Stiglitz, Premio Nobel de Economía en 2001, explica: “Los Tratados de Libre Comercio, TLC, con Estados Unidos carecen de reciprocidad, pues imponen a las pequeñas industrias latinoamericanas abrir sus puertas a la competencia con las grandes multinacionales; significando esto una desventaja competitiva real y nociva”. La situación que genera la internacionalización de la e...
Presentar un libro es una tarea, justamente, en clave de testimonio. Se trata de reconstruir lo que se ha hecho desde hace casi un año partiendo de los primeros esbozos, resultados de conversaciones con colegas y que hoy se han convertido en una obra a varias voces. La imaginación y la creatividad de este texto fijado en la escritura parece haber resistido al esquematismo de las normas y formas que suelen caracterizar un texto científico. Al recorrer estas líneas, la escritura de este libro parece haber concluido, pero, para el lector, apenas comienza y este acto de cierre e iniciación permite que la narrativa aquí expuesta juegue en las diversas temporalidades que brinda un texto.

This monograph explores the social constructs surrounding artistic production in early modern Iberia through the lenses of gender and class by examining the rarely considered contribution of creative women in Spain and Portugal between 1550 and 1700. Using the life-stage framework popular in texts of the period and drawing on a broad spectrum of materials including conduct guidebooks, treatises and conventual rules, this book examines the constraints imposed by gender-related social structures through microhistories of nuns, married, and unmarried women. The text spans class boundaries in its analysis of the work of painters, engravers, and sculptors, many of whom have until now eluded scholarly attention in English-language publications. An extensive bibliography promotes new avenues of inquiry into women’s contributions to the visual arts of the period. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, women’s history, early modern Iberian studies, and Renaissance studies.

This book focuses on the techniques and materials of polychromy used in early modern Europe and the Americas from 1200 to 1800. Taking a trans-cultural approach, the book studies the production of polychrome sculptures, panels, and altarpieces, as well as colored terracotta. The book includes chapters on treatises and contracts that reveal specific use of pigments, distribution of workshops, collaborations between specialized artists, and artistic programs centered on the use of color as an agent. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art conservation, early modern history, sculpture, colonialism, material culture, and European studies.
