Book Synopsis The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby by : Laura Ackerman Smoller
Download or read book The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby written by Laura Ackerman Smoller and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Ferrer (1350–1419), a celebrated Dominican preacher from Valencia, was revered as a living saint during his lifetime, receiving papal canonization within fifty years of his death. In The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby, Laura Ackerman Smoller recounts the fascinating story of how Vincent became the subject of widespread devotion, ranging from the saint's tomb in Brittany to cult centers in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and Latin America, where Vincent is still venerated today. Along the way, Smoller traces the long and sometimes contentious process of establishing a stable image of a new saint. Vincent came to be epitomized by a singularly arresting miracle tale in which a mother kills, chops up, and cooks her own baby, only to have the child restored to life by the saint’s intercession. This miracle became a key emblem in the official portrayal of the saint promoted by the papal court and the Dominican order, still haunted by the memory of the Great Schism (1378–1414) that had rent the Catholic Church for nearly forty years. Vincent, however, proved to be a potent religious symbol for others whose agendas did not necessarily align with those of Rome. Whether shoring up the political legitimacy of Breton or Aragonese rulers, proclaiming a new plague saint, or trumpeting their own holiness, individuals imposed their own meanings on the Dominican saint. Drawing on nuanced readings of canonization inquests, hagiography, liturgical sources, art, and devotional materials, Smoller tracks these various appropriations from the time of Vincent’s 1455 canonization through the eve of the Enlightenment. In the process, she brings to life a long, raucous discussion ranging over many centuries. The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby restores the voices of that conversation in all its complexity.
Book Synopsis The Global South Atlantic by : Kerry Bystrom
Download or read book The Global South Atlantic written by Kerry Bystrom and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only were more African slaves transported to South America than to North, but overlapping imperialisms and shared resistance to them have linked Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean for over five centuries. Yet despite the rise in transatlantic, oceanic, hemispheric, and regional studies, and even the growing interest in South-South connections, the South Atlantic has not yet emerged as a site that captures the attention it deserves. The Global South Atlantic traces literary exchanges and interlaced networks of communication and investment—financial, political, socio-cultural, libidinal—across and around the southern ocean. Bringing together scholars working in a range of languages, from Spanish to Arabic, the book shows the range of ways people, governments, political movements, social imaginaries, cultural artefacts, goods, and markets cross the South Atlantic, or sometimes fail to cross. As a region made up of multiple intersecting regions, and as a vision made up of complementary and competing visions, the South Atlantic can only be understood comparatively. Exploring the Atlantic as an effect of structures of power and knowledge that issue from the Global South as much as from Europe and North America, The Global South Atlantic helps to rebalance global literary studies by making visible a multi-textured South Atlantic system that is neither singular nor stable.
Book Synopsis Manufacturing Otherness by : Sergio Botta
Download or read book Manufacturing Otherness written by Sergio Botta and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the New World offered European civilisation the chance to generate a process of circulation of its own cultural values – the “spiritual conquest” – that has no comparable precedents. The missionary orders played an important role during this “Westernisation of the world,” not only as key players in the spread of Christian values, but also as mediators between different worlds. Indeed, missionary practices imposed the dominating culture’s values and institutions on the vanquished peoples. At the same time, they also promoted the circulation of new knowledge and the negotiation between different cultures during the age of a global integration of space. This book looks at the vast field of study concerning the history of missions from a specific viewpoint. Firstly, it focuses on “local” processes, singling out specific case studies to be used for a general reflection. On the other hand, it refocuses the attention on the Indigenous cultures – which the missionaries helped to bring to light in the field of Western history – showing how they succeeded in entering the areas of negotiation created by missionaries, and in producing their own cultural subjectivity.
Book Synopsis Jews and Converts in Late Medieval Castile by : Cecil Reid
Download or read book Jews and Converts in Late Medieval Castile written by Cecil Reid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews and Converts in Late Medieval Castile examines the ways in which Jewish-Christian relations evolved in Castile, taking account of social, cultural, and religious factors that affected the two communities throughout the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. The territorial expansion of the Christian kingdoms in Iberia that followed the reconquests of the mid-thirteenth century presented new military and economic challenges. At the same time the fragile balance between Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the Peninsula was also profoundly affected. Economic and financial pressures were of over-riding importance. Most significant were the large tax revenues that the Iberian Jewish community provided to royal coffers, new evidence for which is provided here. Some in the Jewish community also achieved prominence at court, achieving dizzying success that often ended in dismal failure or death. A particular feature of this study is its reliance upon both Castilian and Hebrew sources of the period to show how mutual perceptions evolved through the long fourteenth century. The study encompasses the remarkable and widespread phenomenon of Jewish conversion, elaborates on its causes, and describes the profound social changes that would culminate in the anti-converso riots of the mid-fifteenth century. This book is valuable reading for academics and students of medieval and of Jewish history. As a study of a unique crucible of social change it also has a wider relevance to multi-cultural societies of any age, including our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing the narration of the translatio of the body of Saint James from Palestine to Santiago de Compostela and its impact on the historical and biblical construction of Jacobean pilgrimages, this book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the two cities at the centre of the legend: Jerusalem and Compostela. Using a range of political, anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, the contributors consider archaeological research into Palestine in the early centuries and explore the traditions, iconography, and literary and social impact of the translatio on the current reality of pilgrimages to Compostela.
Book Synopsis Theories of Empire, 1450–1800 by : David Armitage
Download or read book Theories of Empire, 1450–1800 written by David Armitage and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theories of Empire, 1450-1800 draws upon published and unpublished work by leading scholars in the history of European expansion and the history of political thought. It covers the whole span of imperial theories from ancient Rome to the American founding, and includes a series of essays which address the theoretical underpinnings of the Spanish, Portuguese, French, British and Dutch empires in both the Americas and in Asia. The volume is unprecedented in its attention to the wider intellectual contexts within which those empires were situated - particularly the discourses of universal monarchy, millenarianism, mercantalism, and federalism - and in its mapping of the shift from Roman conceptions of imperium to the modern idea of imperialism.
Download or read book Potosi written by Kris Lane and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For anyone who wants to learn about the rise and decline of Potosí as a city . . . Lane’s book is the ideal place to begin."—The New York Review of Books In 1545, a native Andean prospector hit pay dirt on a desolate red mountain in highland Bolivia. There followed the world's greatest silver bonanza, making the Cerro Rico or "Rich Hill" and the Imperial Villa of Potosí instant legends, famous from Istanbul to Beijing. The Cerro Rico alone provided over half of the world's silver for a century, and even in decline, it remained the single richest source on earth. Potosí is the first interpretive history of the fabled mining city’s rise and fall. It tells the story of global economic transformation and the environmental and social impact of rampant colonial exploitation from Potosí’s startling emergence in the sixteenth century to its collapse in the nineteenth. Throughout, Kris Lane’s invigorating narrative offers rare details of this thriving city and its promise of prosperity. A new world of native workers, market women, African slaves, and other ordinary residents who lived alongside the elite merchants, refinery owners, wealthy widows, and crown officials, emerge in lively, riveting stories from the original sources. An engrossing depiction of excess and devastation, Potosí reveals the relentless human tradition in boom times and bust.

Book Synopsis El Azote Se Hace Apóstol - Las Gestas de San Pablo by : Héctor Pereyra Suárez
Download or read book El Azote Se Hace Apóstol - Las Gestas de San Pablo written by Héctor Pereyra Suárez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-08-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En su primer poema, LA EPOPEYA DE CRISTO, se inspiró en Emmanuel, "Dios con nosotros". Trató de presentar al Verbo que "era Dios", que "fue hecho carne, y habitó entre nosotros" el descenso de la Divinidad al nivel del ser humano como nosotros, pero perfecta. ¡Nuestro modelo divino! En este nuevo poema se presenta a un hombre que llega a ser santo. El Saulo ambicioso, fanático y cruel que participaba hasta en la muerte de los discípulos de Cristo, se transforma en San Pablo. Es entonces modesto, bondadoso y sacrificado: el ascenso de un ser humano como nosotros, todavía con muchos defectos, hacia la divinidad. ¡Nuestro modelo humano!

Book Synopsis La Historia Secreta de los Jesuitas by : Edmond Paris
Download or read book La Historia Secreta de los Jesuitas written by Edmond Paris and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secretos de los jesuitas no quieren a los cristianos a conocer. Desde Europa escuchamos una voz del mundo secular que documenta, históricamente, la misma información que nos fue dada por ex sacerdotes. Edmond Paris expone con valentía la intervención del Vaticano en la política y en las intrigas mundiales, además de fomentar guerras a través de la historia. Se ve, sin duda alguna, que la institución católica romana no es una iglesia cristiana y jamás lo fue. Proféticamente, es la ramera de la que habla Apocalipsis 17—18. El pobre pueblo católico romano ha sido traicionado por ella y está enfrentando una tragedia espiritual. Quiera Dios usar este libro para ayudarle a hacer un nuevo compromiso, de guiar a los amados católicos romanos al Cristo vivo y verdadero de la Biblia, de modo que sus almas puedan ser salvadas. El autor Edmond París explica porqué él escribió este libro... "La gente prácticamente desconoce la enorme responsabilidad del Vaticano y de los jesuitas en el inicio de las dos guerras mundiales; esto, en parte, se debió a los grandes recursos financieros que el Vaticano y los jesuitas tenían a su disposición, dándoles poder en muchos ámbitos, especialmente después del último conflicto. "En realidad, su papel en aquellos trágicos eventos casi no se ha mencionado sino hasta estos tiempos, excepto por apologistas deseosos de encubrirlo. A fin de rectificar esto y dar a conocer los hechos, presentamos en este libro y en otros la actividad política del Vaticano durante la época contemporánea, la cual tiene que ver también con los jesuitas. "Este estudio se basa en irrefutables documentos de archivo, en publicaciones de conocidos políticos, diplomáticos, embajadores y escritores eminentes —en su mayoría, católicos—, legalizadas incluso por el imprimátur."

Book Synopsis Nineteenth-Century European Pilgrimages by : Antón M. Pazos
Download or read book Nineteenth-Century European Pilgrimages written by Antón M. Pazos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Nineteenth-Century a major revival in religious pilgrimage took place across Europe. This phenomenon was largely started by the rediscovery of several holy burial places such as Assisi, Milano, Venice, Rome and Santiago de Compostela, and subsequently developed into the formation of new holy sites that could be visited and interacted with in a wholly Modern way. This uniquely wide-ranging collection sets out the historic context of the formation of contemporary European pilgrimage in order to better understand its role in religious expression today. Looking at both Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Europe, an international panel of contributors analyse the revival of some major Christian shrines, cults and pilgrimages that happened after the rediscovery of ancient holy burial sites or the constitution of new shrines in locations claiming apparitions of the Virgin Mary. They also shed new light on the origin and development of new sanctuaries and pilgrimages in France and the Holy Land during the Nineteenth Century, which led to fresh ways of understanding the pilgrimage experience and had a profound effect on religion across Europe. This collection offers a renewed overview of the development of Modern European pilgrimage that used intensively the new techniques of organisation and travel implemented in the Nineteenth-Century. As such, it will appeal to scholars of Religious Studies, Pilgrimage and Religious History as well as Anthropology, Art, Cultural Studies, and Sociology.
