Re-imagining Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1780-1870
"This book explores the ways in which people in Latin America and the Caribbean joined with others in Europe and the United States to re-imagine the ancient term "democracy", so as to give it relevance and power in the modern world. In all these regions, that process largely followed the French Revolution; in Latin America it more especially followed independence movements of the 1810s and 20s. The book looks at how a variety of political actors and commentators used the term to characterize or argue about modern conditions through the ensuing half-century; by 1870, it was firmly established in mainstream political lexicons throughout the region. Following introductory scene-setting and overview chapters, specialists contribute wide-ranging accounts of aspects of the context in which the word was "re-imagined"; six final chapters explore differences in its fortune from place to place"--
Playful Classics
This is the first book to deal exclusively with ludic interactions with classical antiquity – an understudied research area within classical reception studies – that can shed light on current processes of construction and appropriation of the Greco-Roman world. Classical antiquity has, for many years, been sold as a product and consumed in a wide variety of forms of entertainment. As a result, games, playing and playful experiences are a privileged space for the reception of antiquity. Through the medium of games, players, performers and audiences are put into direct contact with the classical past, and encouraged to experience it in a participative, creative and subjective fashion. The ...
Theories of History
This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. In a unique approach to historical representations, the central question of this book is 'what is history?' By describing 'history' through its supplementary function to the field of history, rather than the ground of a study, this collection considers new insights into historical thinking and historiography across the humanities. It fosters engagement from around the disciplines in historical thinking and, from that, invites historians and philosophers of history to see clearly the impact of their work outside of their own specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the role ...
Napoleon's Empire
The Napoleonic Empire played a crucial role in reshaping global landscapes and in realigning international power structures on a worldwide scale. When Napoleon died, the map of many areas had completely changed, making room for Russia's ascendency and Britain's rise to world power.
Anglo-Hispania beyond the Black Legend
This book traces and analyses the relationship between Britain and Spain in its various forms since 1489. So often viewed as antagonistic rivals in history, the two countries are here compared and contrasted in order to shed light on their international connection and how this has evolved over time. Mark Lawrence reflects on the similarities of their composite monarchies, their roles as successive projectors of European global power, and the common fondness for peculiarly patriotic expressions of Christianity through the ages. At the same time, Lawrence is alert to recognising other ways in which Britain and Spain have seemed worlds apart in their respective corners of the European continent...
Ciudadanos, electores, representantes
Este libro ofrece un análisis de la construcción de la ciudadanía y la representación política en Perú y en Ecuador durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, concretamente en torno a la década de 1860. La configuración y el funcionamiento del Parlamento son el punto de referencia fundamental en esta investigación, en la que resulta crucial el análisis del discurso, especialmente del parlamentario. Los representantes de este fueron los encargados de elaborar, debatir y promulgar todo tipo de textos legislativos, que sentarían las bases del juego político. Además, fueron los responsables de diseñar el sistema electoral del que saldrían electos los propios congresistas. En este pro...
Un linaje Hidalgo del norte de Burgos
Es un grato honor prologar la importante obra de David Huidobro Sanz, cuya labor investigadora conozco desde hace tiempo y que en esta ocasión nos deleita con el trabajo que presentó en su día como tesis doctoral calificada con el prestigioso cum laude por unanimidad con acceso al premio extraordinario de doctorado. Tanto en la exposición de los datos, como el discurso que los relaciona, y también en su vertebración a través de un índice, se percibe una extraordinaria solvencia y claridad, al que se une un palpable entusiasmo derivado de la singularísima circunstancia de que el autor está narrando su propia genealogía familiar. A que todo este magma de datos resulte tan finamente ...
Miradas de la España de la Restauración
Este libro constituye la segunda entrega de una genuina y exclusiva historia contemporánea de España relatada desde la caricatura política. Sus variadas contribuciones dan cuenta de lo acaecido en España desde la Restauración de la monarquía en la figura de Alfonso XII, en el ocaso mismo del año 1874, hasta que se produjo el golpe de Estado por parte del General Primo de Rivera en 1923. Un período jalonado por momentos históricos de honda impronta en la sociedad española, como la pérdida de las últimas colonias en 1898, la irrupción de los nacionalismos, o guerras como la de Marruecos que incluyeron episodios tan traumáticos como el desastre de Annual. La obra es una invitació...
