Current Trends in the Historiography of Inquisitions
This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Portuguese Jews and New Christians in Colonial Brazil, 1500-1822
The diaspora of Portuguese Jews and New Christians, known as Gente da Nação (People of the Nation), is considered the largest European diaspora of the early modern period. Portuguese Jews not only founded the first congregations and synagogues in Brazil (Recife and Olinda), but when they left Brazil they played an imperative role in establishing the first Jewish communities in Suriname, throughout the Caribbean, and in North America. Drawing on nearly twenty thousand digitized dossiers of the Portuguese Inquisition, this volume offers a comprehensive, critical overview informed by both relatively inaccessible secondary sources and a significant body of primary sources.
L'Amérique Méridionale: The Map That Shaped Brazil in the 18th Century
This book explores how the origins of Brazil’s modern borders can be traced to the cartography of the Americas produced by the eighteenth-century French cartographer J.B.B. d’Anville. It argues that this map reflects the geopolitical policies of the Portuguese diplomat D. Luis da Cunha, who was involved in Portugal’s negotiations with the Spanish to formally establish Brazil’s frontiers, and highlights how and why these policies were adopted in the Treaty of Madrid in 1750.

Justiça restaurativa e violência doméstica
A obra do Professor Álisson Thiago de Assis Campos procura analisar o tratamento disponibilizado à mulher, pela sistemática de resolução dos conflitos que envolvem violência doméstica, buscando uma possível resposta para o questionamento: a Justiça Restaurativa pode se apresentar como via alternativa, capaz de dar mais voz às vítimas na construção do provimento jurisdicional e, assim, constituir instrumento para efetivação de Direitos Fundamentais? O estudo da justiça restaurativa no contexto da violência doméstica é de significativa importância para a sociedade civil brasileira, uma vez que o Brasil é um país que tem índices alarmantes de violência contra as mulheres.
Herança do Santo Ofício
Este livro tem por foco analisar dois processos da Inquisição portuguesa: o de Maria da Costa (1618-1624) e o de seu pai João Lopes (1618-1622), portanto, ao tempo da União Ibérica, na dinastia Filipina, que se deu entre duas dinastias portuguesas: a de Avis – quando começou a Inquisição portuguesa, no reinado de d. João III, em 1536 – e a de Bragança – quando ela foi extinta no reinado de d. João VI, em 1821. Por seus contextos, essas dinastias foram estudadas, bem assim, também a burocracia – composição e rotinas processuais – do Tribunal do Santo Ofício. Entretanto, como a instituição inquisitorial não teve início nem em Portugal, nem na Espanha, de onde a Inq...
