Chica da Silva - Junia Ferreira Furtado - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Chica da Silva - Junia Ferreira Furtado - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Júnia Ferreira Furtado offers a fascinating study of the world of a freed woman of color in a small Brazilian town where itinerant merchants, former slaves, Portuguese administrators and concubines interact across social and cultural lines. The child of an African slave and a Brazilian military nobleman of Portuguese descent, Chica da Silva won her freedom using social and matrimonial strategies. But her story is not merely the personal history of a woman, or the social history of a colonial Brazilian town. Rather, it provides a historical perspective on the cultural universe she inhabited, and the myths that were created around her in subsequent centuries, as Chica de Silva came to symbolize both an example of racial democracy and the stereotype of licentiousness and sensuality always attributed to the black or mulatta female in the Brazilian popular imagination.

Paper in Medieval England - Orietta Da Rold - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Looking beyond book production, Da Rold maps out the uses of paper and explains the success of this technology in medieval culture, considering how people interacted with it and how it affected their lives. Offering a nuanced understanding of how affordance influenced societal choices, Paper in Medieval England draws on a multilingual array of sources to investigate how paper circulated, was written upon, and was deployed by people across medieval society, from kings to merchants, to bishops, to clerks and to poets, contributing to an understanding of how medieval paper changed communication and shaped modernity.

Feminismos en America Latina - Debora Rezende De Almeida - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Feminismos en America Latina - Debora Rezende De Almeida - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Este Element analiza las características de los movimientos feministas actuales en América Latina y sus respuestas a las reacciones conservadoras. Para ello, nos enfocamos específicamente en el movimiento proaborto frente al contramovimiento antiaborto en México y Brasil. Para analizar los efectos potenciales de los movimientos ofrecemos un enfoque relacional que abarca tanto la dinámica dentro del propio campo feminista, como entre el feminismo y el estado. En primer lugar, proponemos el concepto de redes feministas anidadas. Las redes anidadas comprenden tres dimensiones que revelan la pluralidad del movimiento a través de: cuestiones interseccionales y de identidad sexual (dimensión horizontal), de su relación con el estado multifacético (vertical) y de la intermediación de los partidos políticos y las instituciones participativas en esta relación (intermedia). En segundo lugar, argumentamos que las redes anidadas permiten a las feministas tanto habilitar políticas como bloquear acciones de los conservadores. En resumen, exploramos cómo las feministas, aprovechando su pluralidad interna y su conexión con el estado, pueden contrarrestar los ataques conservadores.

Author and Audience in Vitruvius' De architectura - Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Author and Audience in Vitruvius' De architectura - Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Vitruvius'' De architectura is the only extant classical text on architecture, and its impact on Renaissance masters including Leonardo da Vinci is well-known. But what was the text''s purpose in its own time (ca. 20s BCE)? In this book, Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols reveals how Vitruvius pitched the Greek discipline of architecture to his Roman readers, most of whom were undoubtedly laymen. The inaccuracy of Vitruvius'' architectural rules, when compared with surviving ancient buildings, has knocked Vitruvius off his pedestal. Nichols argues that the author never intended to provide an accurate view of contemporary buildings. Instead, Vitruvius crafted his authorial persona and remarks on architecture to appeal to elites (and would-be elites) eager to secure their positions within an expanding empire. In this major new analysis of De architectura from archaeological and literary perspectives, Vitruvius emerges as a knowing critic of a social landscape in which the house made the man.
