Over the course of some two centuries following the conquests
and consolidations of Spanish rule in the Americas during the late
fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries--the period designated as
the Baroque--new cultural forms sprang from the cross-fertilization
of Spanish, Amerindian, and African traditions. This dynamism of
motion, relocation, and mutation changed things not only in Spanish
America, but also in Spain, creating a transatlantic Hispanic world
with new understandings of personhood, place, foodstuffs, music,
animals, ownership, money and objects of value, beauty, human
nature, divinity and the sacred, cultural proclivities--a whole
lexikon of things in motion, variation, and relation to one
another.
Featuring the most creative thinking by the foremost scholars
across a number of disciplines, the Lexikon of the Hispanic Baroque
is a uniquely wide-ranging and sustained exploration of the
profound cultural transfers and transformations that define the
transatlantic Spanish world in the Baroque era. Pairs of
authors--one treating the peninsular Spanish kingdoms, the other
those of the Americas--provocatively investigate over forty key
concepts, ranging from material objects to metaphysical notions.
Illuminating difference as much as complementarity, departure as
much as continuity, the book captures a dynamic universe of
meanings in the various midst of its own re-creations. The Lexikon
of the Hispanic Baroque joins leading work in a number of
intersecting fields and will fire new research--it is the
indispensible starting point for all serious scholars of the early
modern Spanish world.
