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.

Documentacion con lujo de detalles de una serie de producciones
montadas en el Coliseo del Buen Retiro en Madrid durante el reinado
del primero de los Borbones, Felipe V. Esta nueva coleccion de
documentos sobre teatro palaciego en Madrid, provenientes de los
ricos fondos del Archivo General de Palacio y el Archivo de Villa,
es una continuacion del tomo 29 de las Fuentes, que abarcaba el
periodo 1586-1707. La tradicion de fiestas palaciegas de gran
espectaculo, establecida bajo los Austrias, siguio despues de 1700
en la corte del primero de los Borbones, Felipe V, caracterizada
por un nuevo ambiente cultural italianizante. Este volumen
documenta con lujo de detalles una serie de producciones montadas
en el Coliseo del Buen Retiro bajo los auspicios del Ayuntamiento,
entre ellas las de Todo lo vence el amor, de Antonio de Zamora,con
musica de Antonio de Literes, compuesta para celebrar el nacimiento
de Luis I en 1707, Las amazonas de Espana, por Jose de Canizares y
el compositor veneciano Giacomo Facco, para el nacimiento del
infante don Felipe en1720, y el drama musical Angelica y Medoro, de
Zamora, representada ese mismo ano con motivo de la boda de don
Luis. Ademas de abundantes datos sobre los actores, el vestuario y
los decorados, los documentos esclarecen nuevamente las enrevesadas
cuestiones de precedencia y autoridad implicadas en la
administration de los festejos y la distribucion de las
localidades. IGNACIO LOPEZ ALEMANY es profesor visitante en el
Departamento de Romance Studies, Duke University. J. E. VAREY,
fundador de Tamesis, fue Rector de Westfield College y Catedratico
de Espanol de la Universidad de Londres.
Text in Spanish. En el presente libro se pueden encontrar editadas
por primera vez las comedias con musica de Las amazonas de Espana
(1720) y La hazana mayor de Alcides (1723), de Jose de Canizares,
asi como tambien las piezas breves que acompanaron a estas
representaciones en el Coliseo del Buen Retiro. Ambos textos se
acompanan de un innovador estudio que, desde la perspectiva de los
estudios de la corte, hace especial hincapie en las circunstancias
materiales del teatro palaciego, asi como el papel desempenado por
la temprana opera espanola en la diplomacia de la corona del rey
Felipe V.
In 1526 Emperor Charles V arranged the wedding of Ferdinand of
Aragon, the dethroned heir of Naples, to Germana de Foix, the widow
of Ferdinand the Catholic, and appointed them viceroys of Valencia.
In the decade that followed, these two royal personas invited some
of the best poets and musicians to their Valencian palace with the
purpose of recreating the aulic life that they had enjoyed in their
youth. In Ilusion aulica e imaginacion caballeresca en El Cortesano
de Luis Milan, Ignacio Lopez Alemany applies the concept of soft
power created by George Duby and Norbert Elias to interpret its
descriptions of games, banquets, conversations, performances,
literary competitions, and chivalric recreations--in other words,
to examine every aspect of the Valencian courtly culture. This
extraordinarily rich book addresses several understudied fields:
Spanish literature outside of Castile, court celebrations and
entertainments, drama, and literary works not belonging to the
major genres.
