Sexuality and Marriage in Colonial Latin America
"Few decisions in life should be more personal than the choice of a spouse or lover. Yet, throughout history, this intimate experience has been subjected to painstaking social and religious regulation in the form of legislation and restraining social mores." With that statement, Asunción Lavrin begins her introduction to this collection of original essays, the first in English to explore sexuality and marriage in colonial Latin America. The nine contributors, including historians and anthropologists, examine various aspects of the male-female relationship and the mechanisms for controlling it developed by church and state after the European conquest of Mexico and Central and South America. ...
Women, Feminism, and Social Change in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, 1890-1940
Feminists in the Southern Cone countries?Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay?between 1910 and 1930 obliged political leaders to consider gender in labor regulation, civil codes, public health programs, and politics. Feminism thus became a factor in the modernization of theseøgeographically linked but diverse societies in Latin America. Although feminists did not present a unified front in the discussion of divorce, reproductive rights, and public-health schemes to regulate sex and marriage, this work identifies feminism as a trigger for such discussion, which generated public and political debate on gender roles and social change. Asunci¢n Lavrin recounts changes inøgender relations and the role of women in each of the three countries, thereby contributing an enormous amount of new information and incisive analysis to the histories of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.

Teatro Colegial Colonial de jesuitas de México a Chile
Aquest volum presenta dos col·loquis del teatre de col·legi dels jesuïtes en l'Ultramar hispànic, un d'inèdit i un altre en edició crítica necessària. Són una mostra de dos gèneres del teatre escolar: l'ègloga i el debat doctrinal, que desemboca en lloa, propi de les aules universitàries, especialment en la seua modalitat de defensa de la concepció immaculada de Maria. ?El Coloquio a lo pastoril a la elección del P. Provincial?? (Mèxic, 1598), es deu al P. Juan Cigorondo, poeta i dramaturg jesuïta; el ?Coloquio de la Concepción?, d'autor anònim, es va compondre a Santiago de Xile en 1732. En tots dos es consagra en acció i text el predomini de la Província de Mèxic: en la cessió solidària d'un capaç dirigent a la del Perú i, en el segon, a través dels textos de sor Juana Inés de la Creu que formen la seua columna vertebral de debat i lloa.
