Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cowboys and Caudillos

Suggesting that better understanding of conflicts between Anglo and Latin America can come from the study of their contrasting popular fictions, the author compares the traditional attachment in Latin America to government by a strong man—a caudillo—to the diametrically opposed expansionist frontier ideology of the United States—the cowboy—who makes space safe for Anglo colonization.

Spain and the Mediterranean in the Later Middle Ages

Libro Spain and the Mediterranean in the Later Middle Ages

These papers are centered on the Crown of Aragon in the later Middle Ages, its achievements (the more remarkable given the very evident problems with which it was beset), and especially on its role in the Mediterranean. Hence the emphasis on Majorca, its leading intellectual figure, Ramon Lull (1232-1316), and his influence, and related to these the article on Thomas Aquinas. Other studies deal with the relations of Christians and Jews in Majorca, down to the Expulsion from Spain. In these papers Professor Hillgarth seeks to investigate the transmission of learning and how what is transmitted ...

India, santa, americana libertad

Libro India, santa, americana libertad

A pesar de parecer lo mismo, la alegoría de América y la india de la libertad se diferencian en un aspecto clave: la fiera y joven indígena, usada en la cartografía moderna, se cargó con la energía de los debates políticos del siglo XVIII para convertirse en un símbolo libertario. Este libro se ocupa de estudiar dicha transformación, en la que las imágenes complementaron al discurso escrito —a la manera de argumentos visuales— para formar el ideario adecuado para un cambio de era. El autor estudia monedas, grabados, pinturas y otras producciones visuales referidas a América,...

El autor ha recorrido durante años las calles, plazas y rincones de Tlayacapan, Morelos, y ahora nos ofrece una exhaustiva investigación de sus técnicas arquitectónicas y urbanísticas, de las razones profundas que llevaron a la construcción de sus edificios, con una imaginación que se desborda al ahondar en lo legendario, lo religioso, lo mitológico, lo astral, y sobre todo en la vivencia del hombre hispanoamericano.

New Queries in Aesthetics and Metaphysics

Libro New Queries in Aesthetics and Metaphysics

This collection is the final volume of a four book survey of the state of phenomenology fifty years after the death of Edmund Husserl. Its publication represents a landmark in the comprehensive treatment of contemporary phenomenology in all its vastness and richness. The diversity of the issues raised here is dazzling, but the main themes of Husserl's thought are all either explicitly treated, or else they underlie the ingenious approaches found here. Time, historicity, intentionality, eidos, meaning, possibility/reality, and teleology are the main concerns of this collection devoted to...
