Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Por primera vez se publica una edición actualizada y ampliada de Tradiciones y leyendas sevillanas, que incluye nuevas fotografías de la ciudad y material inédito aportado por el autor. Sevilla es una ciudad rica en leyendas, muchas de las cuales han pasado a la literatura, la música y la pintura universales. Así, la fundación de Sevilla por Hércules ha pasado a la literatura y mitología grecolatinas; la leyenda de los dos hijos de César forma parte de la romana; la tradición del pañuelo de la princesa visigoda está recogida en la literatura medieval francesa. Lo mismo sucede con las leyendas de la princesa árabe sevillana Intimad, las historias del rey Pedro el Cruel y las de Hernán Cortés en Sevilla. Pero, sobre todas, destaca la leyenda de don Juan, que de Tirso de Molina pasó a Molière, a Pushkin y a lord Byron, y se hizo ópera con Mozart. Del mismo modo, la leyenda de Fidelio, paradigma del amor conyugal, fue recogida por Beethoven. Una historia basada en un suceso pasó a Francia y se convirtió en la novela Carmen, de Merimée, y en la ópera del mismo título de Bizet... Por no citar las óperas sevillanas Las bodas de Fígaro de Mozart, El barbero de Sevilla de Rossini, Alfonso y Estrella de Schubert... Un rico acervo, pues, de alcance universal, recreado por la pluma de José María de Mena en esta obra.

Book Synopsis Chronicle of King Pedro Volumes 1 - 3 by : Peter Such
Download or read book Chronicle of King Pedro Volumes 1 - 3 written by Peter Such and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 1147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pero López de Ayala’s Chronicle of King Pedro provides a compelling and richly informative account of the turbulent reign of the notorious but enigmatic fourteenth-century Castilian monarch who came to be known as Pedro el Cruel. It is a vitally important source for our understanding of the history of the Iberian Peninsula during this critical period in its development and of the complex social and political divisions by which the Spanish kingdoms were torn. This three-volume Chronicle gives us a gripping and wide-ranging picture of a period characterized by harsh brutality, conflict and betrayal but at the same time by the ideals of chivalry, memorably personified in figures such as the Black Prince and Bertrand du Guesclin. At its centre is the chilling portrait of King Pedro, a brilliantly constructed image of self-destructive evil. The translation is accompanied by a Spanish text taken from Germán Orduna’s groundbreaking edition and by detailed notes. The introduction explores the background to the Chronicle’s composition and sets López de Ayala’s account against a broad canvas of events in the Spanish kingdoms and beyond. It examines how the chronicler’s subtle artistry was used to create a picture of a deeply flawed monarch which has continued to exercise a profound fascination over the centuries.

Book excerpt: THE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY BY CAMPER VAN THROUGH THE FORGOTTEN HEART OF SPAIN. Do I really know my own country? That's what I asked myself a year ago ... and the answer surprised me. Yes, I had been to many locations. I was very familiar with the outer edges of the peninsula, but the interior was a huge black hole pierced here and there by the lights of some city. So I set out to remedy it. I bought a van adapted as a home and I went to explore the interior of Spain. For eighty days I visited villages, castles, natural parks and archaeological sites, talked with people, researched a thousand stories and looked out into a world that was curiously familiar and, at the same time, completely unknown. The result is in your hands: an approach to the history, geography and present day realities of a country which is much larger, richer and more complex than we were ever told. A country that overflows with a rich heritage and an archaeological, historical and cultural wealth, full of amazing nooks and crannies, but also depopulated and lonely. A deeply beautiful country that is truly worth the effort of exploring in depth, getting lost in its innermost recesses and diving into its extraordinary past. Will you come with me on a voyage through this forgotten Spain?

Book Synopsis Plague and Public Health in Early Modern Seville by : Kristy Wilson Bowers
Download or read book Plague and Public Health in Early Modern Seville written by Kristy Wilson Bowers and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plague and Public Health in Early Modern Seville offers a reassessment of the impact of plague in the early modern era, presenting sixteenth-century Seville as a case study of how municipal officials and residents worked together to create a public health response that protected both individual and communal interests. Similar studies of plague during this period either dramatize the tragic consequences of the epidemic or concentrate on the tough "modern" public health interventions, such as quarantine, surveillance and isolation, and the laxness or strictness of their enforcement. Arguing for a redefinition of "public health" in the early modern era, this study chronicles a more restrained, humane, and balanced response to outbreaks in 1582 and 1599-1600 Seville, showing that city officials aimed to protect the population but also maintain trade and commerce in order to prevent economic disruption. Based on extensive primary sources held in the municipal archive of Seville, the work argues that a careful reading of the records shows a critical difference between how plague regulations were written and how they were enforced, a difference that reflects an unacknowledged process of negotiation aimed at preserving balance within the community. The book makes important contributions to the study of early modern city governance and to the historiography of epidemics more broadly. Kristy Wilson Bowers received her PhD from Indiana University and teaches in the History Department at Northern Illinois University.
Book Synopsis Styling Blackness in Chile by : Juan Eduardo Wolf
Download or read book Styling Blackness in Chile written by Juan Eduardo Wolf and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile had long forgotten about the existence of the country's Black population when, in 2003, the music and dance called the tumbe carnaval appeared on the streets of the city of Arica. Featuring turbaned dancers accompanied by a lively rhythm played on hide-head drums, the tumbe resonated with cosmopolitan images of what the African Diaspora looks like, and so helped bring attention to a community seeking legal recognition from the Chilean government which denied its existence. Tumbe carnaval, however, was not the only type of music and dance that Afro-Chileans have participated in and identified with over the years. In Styling Blackness in Chile, Juan Eduardo Wolf explores the multiple ways that Black individuals in Arica have performed music and dance to frame their Blackness in relationship to other groups of performers—a process he calls styling. Combining ethnography and semiotic analysis, Wolf illustrates how styling Blackness as Criollo, Moreno, and Indígena through genres like the baile de tierra, morenos de paso, and caporales simultaneously offered individuals alternative ways of identifying and contributed to the invisibility of Afro-descendants in Chilean society. While the styling of the tumbe as Afro-descendant helped make Chile's Black community visible once again, Wolf also notes that its success raises issues of representation as more people begin to perform the genre in ways that resonate less with local cultural memory and Afro-Chilean activists' goals. At a moment when Chile's government continues to discuss whether to recognize the Afro-Chilean population and Chilean society struggles to come to terms with an increase in Latin American Afro-descendant immigrants, Wolf's book raises awareness of Blackness in Chile and the variety of Black music-dance throughout the African Diaspora, while also providing tools that ethnomusicologists and other scholars of expressive culture can use to study the role of music-dance in other cultural contexts.
