3as Conversaciones de Cala Figuera

Eduardo Bonnín deseó durante largo tiempo un encuentro con los cursillistas de todo el mundo para tener un intercambio de experiencias, que sirviera para que las ideas, surgidas en cualquier parte donde se celebran Cursillos, se pusieran al alcance de todos; al tiempo que, al calor de la convivencia, creciera nuestra amistad y admiración por lo que, por la gracia de Dios, se iba consiguiendo. Sus deseos se vieron cumplidos por primera vez en 1994 en las I Conversaciones de Cala Figuera, y por segunda vez en las II conversaciones del mismo nombre en el año 2002. Finalmente, en 2011, después de su muerte, acaecida en 2008, sus amigos, quienes se considera continuadores de su obra, organizaron las III Conversaciones de Cala Figuera, procurando conservar en todo momento el sentido y el espíritu de las dos anteriores. Su contenido, aunque diferente, se procuró que siguiera la misma línea de pensamiento. Cristianía en Diálogo, Sentido, Actitud, Creatividad, Comunicación, Confianza y Transcendencia que fueron los temas estudiados, enmarcan un conjunto de cuestiones de indudable interés para todo aquel que quiera vivir la experiencia de los Cursillos de Cristiandad.

From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets wa...

The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas

Why is the capital of the United States named in part after Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer commissioned by Spain who never set foot on what would become the nation's mainland? Why did Spanish American nationalists in 1819 name a new independent republic "Colombia," after Columbus, the first representative of empire from which they recently broke free? These are only two of the introductory questions explored in The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas, a fundamental recasting of Columbus as an eminently powerful tool in imperial constructs. Bartosik-Velez seeks to explain the meaning of Christopher Columbus throughout the so-called New World, first in the British American...

Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain

  • Publisher: Springer

This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
