The Worlds of Junipero Serra
"In September 2015, Junâipero Serra was canonized by Pope Francis in Washington DC against the protest of many Californian Native Americans who criticized his brutal treatment of their ancestors and destruction of their culture. Like most complex historical figures, Junâipero Serra has been interpreted in countless ways, often contextualized mainly in California. This book situates Serra in the context of the three major places that he lived, learned, and proselytized: Mallorca, Mexico, and Alta California. Scholars from all three countries contribute to a rare glimpse into the life of the saint by considering his use of music and art, his representation in popular culture; his education, ideology, and Franciscan influence; the plans and building of the missions; and his relation to native peoples."--Provided by publisher.
Madness and Irrationality in Spanish and Latin American Literature and Culture
The subject matter is topical: madness has universal and enduring appeal. The positive aspects of the irrational, particularly its potential for cultural renewal, are given more prominence than has been the case in the past. The coverage is wide-ranging: new critical angles enrich our understanding of major writers while the appeal of lesser-known figures is highlighted, often by means of a comparative perspective.

Narración-Religión-¿Subversión?
Este trabajo es una manera de participar en el diálogo entre la historia y la actualidad. Luego de los atentados en las Torres Gemelas en septiembre del 2001 y de lo sucedido hasta hoy, la pregunta acerca del poder de la religión se hizo nuevamente presente en las sociedades: al analizar la presencia estética y la función del discurso religioso en la literatura bajo un régimen autoritario, se revela la importancia de la religión y asimismo, de la función de la literatura, en tiempos de terror y de tortura, como una herramienta de crítica social y política en respuesta a la violencia. "La crítica literaria argentina vería en este trabajo un nuevo camino de estudios que permitiría a su vez volver a considerar obras y acontecimientos literarios del periodo estudiado bajo una nueva luz." Dra. Susana Gómez (Profesora de Literatura Argentina, UNC/Argentina)
