Signs of Power in Habsburg Spain and the New World explores the
representation of political, economic, military, religious, and
juridical power in texts and artifacts from early modern Spain and
her American viceroyalties. In addition to analyzing the dynamics
of power in written texts, chapters also examine pieces of material
culture including coats of arms, coins, paintings and engravings.
As the essays demonstrate, many of these objects work to transform
the amorphous concept of power into a material reality with
considerable symbolic dimensions subject to, and dependent on,
interpretation. With its broad approach to the discourses of power,
Signs of Power brings together studies of both canonical literary
works as well as more obscure texts and objects. The position of
the works studied with respect to the official center of power also
varies. Whereas certain essays focus on the ways in which
portrayals of power champion the aspirations of the Spanish Crown,
other essays attend to voices of dissent that effectively call into
question that authority.
