Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years scholars in a range of disciplines have begun to re-evaluate the history of the Society of Jesus. Approaching the subject with new questions and methods, they have reconsidered the importance of the Society in many sectors, including those related to the sciences and the arts. They have also looked at the Jesuits as emblematic of certain traits of early modern Europeans, especially as those Europeans interacted with 'the Other' in Asia and the Americas. Originating in an international conference held at Boston College in 1997, the thirty-five essays here reflect this new historiographical trend. Focusing on the Old Society- the Society before its suppression in 1773 by papal edict- they examine the worldwide Jesuit undertaking in such fields as music, art, architecture, devotional writing, mathematics, physics, astronomy, natural history, public performance, and education, and they give special attention to the Jesuits' interaction with non-European cultures, in North and South America, China, India, and the Philippines. A picture emerges not only of the individual Jesuit, who might be missionary, diplomat, architect, and playwright over the course of his life in the Society, but also of the immense and many-faceted Jesuit enterprise as forming a kind of 'cultural ecosystem'. The Jesuits of the Old Society liked to think they had a way of proceeding special to themselves. The question, Was there a Jesuit style, a Jesuit corporate culture? is the thread that runs through this interdisciplinary collection of studies.

Book excerpt: Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon Spain and papal Rome (1700-1759) through the lens of cultural politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the establishment of a program of architectural education at the newly founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own national and regional traditions. Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance provides readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain.

Book excerpt: Contributors explore diverse historical and critical issues in architecture, attempting to discover architectural alternatives based on concepts of aesthetics, technology, and sociology. Essays touch on historical subjects and describe speculative theoretical "projects" that blur conventional boundaries between history and fiction. They demonstrate a reconciliatory architecture that respects cultural differences, acknowledges the globalization of technological culture, and points to a referent other than itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first systematic analysis of the cultural and religious appropriation of Andalusian architecture by Spanish historians during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. To date this process of Christian appropriation has generally been discussed as a phenomenon of architectural hybridisation. However, this was a period in which the construction of a Spanish national identity became a key focus of historical discourse. As a result, cultural hybridity encountered partial opposition from those seeking to establish cultural and religious homogeneity. Spain's Islamic past became a major concern in this period and historical writing served as the site for a complex negotiation of identity. Historians and antiquarians used a range of strategies to re-appropriate the meaning of medieval Islamic heritage as befitted the new identity of Spain as a Catholic monarchy and empire. On the one hand, the monuments' Islamic origin was subjected to historical revisions and re-identified as Roman or Phoenician. On the other hand, religious forgeries were invented that staked claims for buildings and cities having been founded by Christians prior to the arrival of the Muslims in Spain. Islamic stones were used as core evidence in debates that shaped the early development of archaeology, and they also became the centre of a historical controversy about the origin of Spain as a nation as well as its ecclesiastical history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Diego, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in 1531 miraculously imprinting her likeness on his cape, was canonised in Mexico in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. In 1999, the revered image of Our Lady of Guadalupe had been proclaimed patron saint of the Americas by the Pope. How did a poor Indian and a sixteenth-century Mexican painting of the Virgin Mary attract such unprecedented honours? Across the centuries the enigmatic power of the image has aroused fervent devotion in Mexico: it served as the banner of the rebellion against Spanish rule and, despite scepticism and anti-clericalism, still remains a potent symbol of the modern nation. This book traces the intellectual origins, the sudden efflorescence and the adamantine resilience of the tradition of Our Lady of Guadalupe and will fascinate anyone concerned with the history of religion and its symbols.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portada trasera Nacemos genéticamente predispuestos a buscar la felicidad por todas partes y al final solo la obtenemos por cortos períodos de tiempo. ¿Cuál es la razón? Se debe a que desconocemos tres aspectos fundamentales que se esconden en los siguientes tres grandes interrogantes: ¿Es posible alcanzar la felicidad permanente? ¿Cuál es el camino para llegar a la felicidad permanente? ¿Para qué nos sirve ser feliz y cuáles son sus frutos? Luego de dedicarle tiempo a la reflexión sobre estos grandes interrogantes, nace el libro: "La Ruta del Hechizo" en el cual se plantea la Felicidad Filosófica, para que hagas de ella, una filosofía de vida y así disfrutes la felicidad permanente. Además, es la primera vez en la historia, que podemos medir la felicidad área por área, al igual que el sistema de emociones que le da vida y energía al alma. Este aporte es muy importante, porque nos permite enfocarnos en las áreas críticas de la Felicidad Filosófica y del conjunto de emociones, de tal manera que se nos haga más fácil rectificar en aquellos aspectos donde estamos fallando. Por la importancia de los planteamientos que aquí se hacen, este libro es como el teléfono celular, antes de que existiera, no era necesario, y hoy, quien no tenga uno, anda desconectado. Si eres mayor de 18 años, no dejes de leer este libro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of thirty years, Hermann Samuel Reimarus (1694-1768) secretly drafted what would become the most thorough attack on revelation to date, ushering the quest for the historical Jesus and foreshadowing the religious criticism of the new atheism of the twentieth century. Peeling away the layers of Reimarus’s radical work by looking at hitherto unpublished manuscript evidence, Ulrich Groetsch shows that the Radical Enlightenment was more than just an international philosophical movement. By demonstrating the importance philology, antiquarianism, and Semitic languages played in Reimarus’s upbringing, scholarship, and teaching, this new study provides a vivid portrayal of an Enlightenment radical at the cusp of the secular age, whose debt to earlier traditions of scholarship remains undisputed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles, a city located in central-south Mexico, during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background, investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological, anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics, students, and researchers interested in architectural history, Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period, it will make an important contribution to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late Medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for Medieval and Modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this collection attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focused on Spanish society and culture, but for academics everywhere interested in the issues of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity. Contributors include Mercedes Alcalá-Galan, Ruth Fine, Kevin Ingram, Yosef Kaplan, Sara T. Nalle, Juan Ignacio Pulido Serrano, Miguel Rodrigues Lourenço, Ashar Salah, Gretchen Starr-LeBeau, Claude Stuczynski, and Gerard Wiegers.

Book excerpt: On Good Friday, 1626, Franciscus Quaresmius delivered a sermon in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem calling on King Philip IV of Spain to undertake a crusade to ‘liberate’ the Holy Land. Jerusalem Afflicted: Quaresmius, Spain, and the Idea of a 17th-century Crusade introduces readers to this unique call to arms with the first-ever edition of the work since its publication in 1631. Aside from an annotated English translation of the sermon, this book also includes a series of introductory chapters providing historical context and textual commentary, followed by an anthology of Spanish crusading texts that testify to the persistence of the idea of crusade throughout the 17th century. Quaresmius’ impassioned and thoroughly reasoned plea is expressed through the voice of Jerusalem herself, personified as a woman in bondage. The friar draws on many of the same rhetorical traditions and theological assumptions that first launched the crusading movement at Clermont in 1095, while also bending those traditions to meet the unique concerns of 17th-century geopolitics in Europe and the Mediterranean. Quaresmius depicts the rescue of the Holy City from Turkish abuse as a just and necessary cause. Perhaps more unexpectedly, he also presents Jerusalem as sovereign Spanish territory, boldly calling on Philip as King of Jerusalem and Patron of the Holy Places to embrace his royal duty and reclaim what is rightly his on behalf of the universal faithful. Quaresmius’ early modern call to crusade ultimately helps us rethink the popular assumption that, like the chivalry imagined by Don Quixote, the crusades somehow died along with the middle ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El GRAN PACIFICADOR DEL INFIERNO es un libro que nos sorprende por sus detalles escatológicos y la procedencia de sus personajes principales dentro de la novela. Tal parece que se nos anuncia la próxima verdad ominosa, ciega ante nuestras sabiolas entumecidas mientras caminamos entretenidos por entre el laberinto de los últimos acontecimientos faranduleros vomitados por las corporaciones mediáticas. El gran pacificador del infierno Nimrodis Filisteus Primerus no es un líder mundial completamente desamigado, pues aquí se nos narra por igual las particularidades del nacimiento e historia familiar y personal de un acólito que se le abraza. Ese otro es un líder religioso que se une en campaña universal usando su jelengue demagogia esquizofrénica; y es un niño que crece en las filas del ejército secreto de los jesuitas, asociado directamente con el Opus Dei. Graduado con olorosos aromas intelectuales en diferentes instituciones escolásticas como la Universidad Pontifical de Santo Tomas en Roma, y posteriormente convertido en el más joven 'General Superior' dentro de dicha Orden religiosa. Conoce a Nimrodis durante la coronación del último papa Benedictine Postremo I, y de la tarde a la noche histórica de los tiempos se convierte en el conocido Falso Profeta del Apocalipsis.Estos dos personajes llenos de juventud, sueños y ansias de poder absoluto no percatan que los poderes ocultos y oscuros del Hades controlan los canales, estructuras maquiavélicas, y enemistades dimensionales sordas al Creador de los siglos. CONTENIDO: -Prólogo. -Capítulo I: El encuentro de Flavio y Mariana. -Capítulo II: El niño santo Toujours Ponctuel. -Capítulo III: El nacimiento de Nimrodina. -Capítulo IV: El gran líder mundial. -Capítulo V: Yo soy Nimrodis Filisteus Primerus. -Capítulo VI: La Bestia y el Falso Profeta. -Acerca del autor.
