Book Synopsis The Spirit of Hispanism by : Diana Arbaiza
Download or read book The Spirit of Hispanism written by Diana Arbaiza and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, Spanish intellectuals and entrepreneurs became captivated with Hispanism, a movement of transatlantic rapprochement between Spain and Latin America. Not only was this movement envisioned as a form of cultural empire to symbolically compensate for Spain’s colonial decline but it was also imagined as an opportunity to materially regain the Latin American markets. Paradoxically, a central trope of Hispanist discourse was the antimaterialistic character of Hispanic culture, allegedly the legacy of the moral superiority of Spanish colonialism in comparison with the commercial drive of modern colonial projects. This study examines how Spanish authors, economists, and entrepreneurs of various ideological backgrounds strove to reconcile the construction of Hispanic cultural identity with discourses of political economy and commercial interests surrounding the movement. Drawing from an interdisciplinary archive of literary essays, economic treatises, and political discourses, The Spirit of Hispanism revisits Peninsular Hispanism to underscore how the interlacing of cultural and commercial interests fundamentally shaped the Hispanist movement. The Spirit of Hispanism will appeal to scholars in Hispanic literary and cultural studies as well as historians and anthropologists who specialize in the history of Spain and Latin America.

Book Synopsis La cultura española en la Edad Moderna by : Luis Gil Fernández
Download or read book La cultura española en la Edad Moderna written by Luis Gil Fernández and published by Ediciones AKAL. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La España de la Edad Moderna asistió a uno de los momentos de máximo esplendor de la cultura hispana. Sin embargo, los indudables logros de las artes plásticas y de la literatura no siempre dejan ver que, a lo largo de estos trescientos años, las luces se han alternado con zonas de sombra. A este respecto, el presente libro ofrece un completo, complejo y riguroso panorama de tres siglos de producción cultural, enriquecido por las últimas aportaciones de las investigaciones y de los nuevos enfoques metodológicos. En sus distintos capítulos, los autores, reconocidos especialistas en la materia, analizan las conquistas sin ocultar los fracasos en los ámbitos del pensamiento, las artes o la religiosidad, desde el fallido humanismo del quinientos hasta la modernización traída por la Ilustración, pasando por el peso e influencia de Trento en el siglo XVII. El volumen concluye con un epígrafe dedicado a la educación del príncipe. El resultado es una cuidada síntesis, moderna en los planteamientos, en los métodos y en la bibliografía, de la cultura española entre los siglos XVI al XVIII.

Download or read book ESPANA OCULTA PB written by and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1995-08-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Spanish photographer Cristina Garcia Rodero went to study art in Italy, in 1973, she fully understood the importance of home. Yet her time abroad formented a deeper interest in was happening in her own country and, as a result, at the age of 23, Garcia Rodero returned to Spain and started a project that she hoped would capture the essence of the myriad Spanish traditions, religious practices and rites that were already fading away. What started as a five-year project ended up lasting 15 years and came to be the book España Oculta(Hidden Spain) published in 1989. At 39 years old, Garcia Rodero had managed to compile a kind of anthropological encyclopedia of her country. The work also captured a key moment in Spain’s history – with Spanish dictator Franco dying in 1975, and the country commencing a period of transition – something that would come to have a huge effect on the way the nation’s cultural traditions and rites were experienced and performed from then on.
Book Synopsis Spain, a Global History by : Luis Francisco Martinez Montes
Download or read book Spain, a Global History written by Luis Francisco Martinez Montes and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets was arguably the first global currency, thus facilitating the creation of a world economic system-but intellectually and artistically as well. The most extraordinary cultural exchanges took place in practically every corner of the Hispanic world, no matter how distant from the metropolis. At various times a descendant of the Aztec nobility was translating a Baroque play into Nahuatl to the delight of an Amerindian and mixed audience in the market of Tlatelolco; an Andalusian Dominican priest was writing the first Western grammar of the Chinese language in Fuzhou, a Chinese city that enjoyed a trade monopoly with the Spanish Philippines; a Franciscan friar was composing a piece of polyphonic music with lyrics in Quechua to be played in a church decorated with Moorish-style ceilings in a Peruvian valley; or a multi-ethnic team of Amerindian and Spanish naturalists was describing in Latin, Spanish and local vernacular languages thousands of medicinal plants, animals and minerals previously unknown to the West. And, most probably, at the same time that one of those exchanges were happening, the members of the School of Salamanca were laying the foundations of modern international law or formulating some of the first modern theories of price, value and money, Cervantes was writing Don Quixote, Velázquez was painting Las Meninas, or Goya was exposing both the dark and bright sides of the European Enlightenment. Actually, whenever we contemplate the galleries devoted to Velázquez, El Greco, Zurbarán, Murillo or Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid; when we visit the National Palace in Mexico City, a mission in California, a Jesuit church in Rome or the Intramuros quarter in Manila; or when we hear Spanish being spoken in a myriad of accents in the streets of San Francisco, New Orleans or Manhattan we are experiencing some of the past and present fruits of an always vibrant and still expanding cultural community. As the reader can infer by now, this book is about how Spain and the larger Hispanic world have contributed to world history and in particular to the history of civilisation, not only at the zenith of the Hispanic Monarchy but throughout a much longer span of time.

Download or read book Breve historia de la cultura en España written by Fernando García de Cortázar and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fernando García de Cortázar aborda la que es su obra más ambiciosa hasta la fecha: condensar en un ensayo todo aquello que es necesario saber de la historia, la literatura y el arte españoles. Para ello no se limita a hacer un recorrido cronólogico por nuestra historia, sino que nos muestra cada época a través de alguna de sus ciudades más significativas. Con un estilo que se sitúa a medio camino entre la historia y la novela, García de Cortázar nos traslada, entre otras muchas ciudades, al Toledo de las Tres Culturas, a la Ávila mística, a la Sevilla a la sombra de Velázquez, al Madrid ilustrado, a la Barcelona modernista o a la Valencia contemporánea. De la mano del autor pasearemos por las calles de esas ciudades, que son también las calles en las que se forjó la cultura española.
Book Synopsis The Spanish Republic and Civil War by : Julián Casanova
Download or read book The Spanish Republic and Civil War written by Julián Casanova and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the overthrow of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here Julián Casanova, one of Spain's leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this critical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hardline anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936 these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings which are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco's victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini and for dictatorship over democracy.
