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.
In the sixteenth century hundreds of thousands of indios—indigenous peoples from the territories of the Spanish empire—were enslaved and relocated throughout the Iberian world. Although various laws and decrees outlawed indio enslavement, several loopholes allowed the practice to continue. In Global Indios Nancy E. van Deusen documents the more than one hundred lawsuits between 1530 and 1585 that indio slaves living in Castile brought to the Spanish courts to secure their freedom. Because plaintiffs had to prove their indio-ness in a Spanish imperial context, these lawsuits reveal the difficulties of determining who was an indio and who was not—especially since it was an all-encompassing construct connoting subservience and political personhood and at times could refer to people from Mexico, Peru, or South or East Asia. Van Deusen demonstrates that the categories of free and slave were often not easily defined, and she forces a rethinking of the meaning of indio in ways that emphasize the need to situate colonial Spanish American indigenous subjects in a global context.

Описание: Abstract: This study investigates the use of Dutch in conversational interactions by second generation Moroccan immigrants. In view of the complexity of the speech situation of particularly the older second generation, a framework for analysis was adopted which applies a sociolinguistic and ethnographic perspective to second language (L2) acquisition and intercultural communication. Speech data were obtained from a total of forth-three subjects living in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The L2 conversational competence of two groups of nineteen Moroccan subjects was assessed based on ten conversations with students integrated in the Dutch school system and eight conversations with students who attended International Linking Classes, a transitional type of education for newly-arrived immigrant children. Quantitative data were used in addition to qualitative observations to relate conversational and sociodemographic variables to proficiency in spoken discourse. Results indicate that though both groups of second language learners were proficient in maintaining conversational interaction, they employed different turn-taking strategies. Length of residence (LOR) and age at arrival were found to be more strongly correlated with conversational variables than age, which correlated with simultaneous speech only. Cultural differences in discourse style were observed with respect to frequency of turn-taking and simultaneous speech episodes. In addition, analysis of an extended conversation in Dutch with five young adult Moroccans revealed a number of discourse strategies which were different from those employed by native speakers of Dutch. For instance, (1) continuous use of back-channel utterances served to re-establish conversational control; (20 organization of discourse topic contributed to a more formal style of argumentation; (3) simultaneous speech functioned as a solidarity strategy; and (4) frequent repetitions of utterances maintained cohesion and intensified the argumentative structure.
