Описание:
In seventeenth-century Lima, pious Catholic women gained profound theological understanding and enacted expressions of spiritual devotion by engaging with a wide range of sacred texts and objects, as well as with one another, their families, and ecclesiastical authorities. In Embodying the Sacred, Nancy E. van Deusen considers how women created and navigated a spiritual existence within the colonial city's complex social milieu. Through close readings of diverse primary sources, van Deusen shows that these women recognized the divine—or were objectified as conduits of holiness—in innovative and powerful ways: dressing a religious statue, performing charitable acts, sharing interiorized spiritual visions, constructing autobiographical texts, or offering their hair or fingernails to disciples as living relics. In these manifestations of piety, each of these women transcended the limited outlets available to them for expressing and enacting their faith in colonial Lima, and each transformed early modern Catholicism in meaningful ways.

Описание: Al mejor estilo de novela histуrica, Hйctor de Lima presenta La Pasajera de la Revoluciуn. El trбnsito por los aсos finales de la dictadura de Marcos Pйrez Jimйnez y su йpoca del terror hasta el inicio de la era democrбtica, marcada por la huida de miles de jуvenes hacia la montaсa en busca de un paraнso imaginado, importado desde Cuba, son el marco para el desarrollo de un amor accidentado y extraordinario que llega incluso hasta tiempos posteriores a la muerte de Hugo Chбvez. Los grandes salones de las casas de los poderosos de la dictadura con sus lбmparas de cristal y sus bailes; las manifestaciones estudiantiles furiosas por justicia y libertad contra la dictadura, los нconos de la Caracas de fines de los aсos 50, 60 y 80, la cбrcel, la tortura, la corrupciуn, el poder, se abren paso a travйs de estas pбginas indispensables para el deleite y al mismo tiempo para conocer a una Venezuela dibujada hasta hoy, que aun palpita en los sueсos de democracia y libertad. Claudia Gonzбlez Gamboa
Poema heroyco hispano-latino (1687), a national chronicle or "epic poem," commemorates the founding and greatness of Lima, Peru. Its unique rhymed quatrains can be read in either Latin or Spanish with equal meaning, and its insightful marginal notes interpret the city's cultural history. Rodrigo de Valdes (1609-1682) underscores the decadence of peninsular Spanish letters in contrast to the compositions of New World writers. The poem is a tribute to the superiority, versatility, and interchangeability of Spanish and Latin as instruments of power that led to Spain's world dominance, and to Lima as the locus of marvels and a quasi biblical garden of delights.
Lima has occupied without exception a privileged space within the colonial situation, as a metaphorical sovereign of new-world experiences and potentialities. Influenced by the spirit of Baroque sensibilities and Creole pride in his patria, Valdes bequeathed to Lima a staged panegyric that served as King Charles II's introduction to the bounty of his American colony. Valdes, acting as commentator, guides the reader through a journey that spans centuries of Peru's illustrious history. Working within the classical tradition of laus urbis or the praise of cities, Valdes depicts America as a paradise found with Lima at its center.
In tracing the poem's relationship to the genre of classical panegyrics, Neal A. Messer and Jerry M. Williams argue its literary merits and elucidate how it enriches the colonial family of Latin American texts. Republished for the first time, this critical edition introduces Valdes to students and scholars of Ibero-American letters.
