Historical and literary works from the Spanish Golden Age offer a
wealth of information about the Spanish view of the conflict in the
Netherlands during the Dutch Revolt and the ensuing Eighty Years'
War (1568-1648). The war in the cold north was to become a fixed
component in the lives of the Spaniards of the Golden Age for many
years. This book reconstructs the images that the Spanish had of
the Netherlands and its inhabitants. These images are inextricably
intertwined with the picture that the Spanish constructed of
themselves as participants in the conflict. This book follows the
developments of these images from the construction of an image of
the enemy that reached a climax between 1621 and 1648 and then
gradually faded away. Which images and representations circulated
the most, and where did they come from? Which rhetoric was used to
present them to the public, and in which genres and contexts were
they disseminated and preserved? On the basis of a varied
collection of sources, war chronicles and plays, as well as
pamphlets, poems, historical works and prose writings, the author
illustrates the appearance of the Netherlands through Spanish eyes
during the course of the Eighty Years' War.
Do narratives make nations, and if so, did networks make this
happen? The notion that national and other group identities are
constructed and sustained by narratives and images has been widely
postulated for several decades now. This volume contributes to this
debate, with a particular emphasis on the networked, transnational
nature of cultural nation-building processes in a comparative
European and sometimes extra-European context. It gathers together
essays that engage with objects of study ranging from poetry,
prose, and political ideas to painting, porcelain, and popular
song, and which draw on examples in Icelandic, Arabic, German,
Irish, Hungarian, and French, among other languages. The
contributors study transcultural phenomena from the medieval and
early modern periods through to the modern and postmodern era,
frequently challenging conventional periodizations and analytical
frameworks based on the idea of the nation-state.
El titulo de la obra Quetzalli que en el idioma nahuatl significa
?preciosa? (Quetzalli es un prefijo que usaban para designar todo
lo bello) En este libro de poesia la mayor parte de ellas esta
dedicado, a Quetzalli; mi segunda hija que fallecio hace diez anos
en un accidente, cuando faltaban 21 dias para cumplir 21 anos,
estudiante de arquitectura. En este se abordan los sentimientos de
tristeza, desesperanza, angustia ansiedad y desesperacion que causa
la perdida de un hijo que es el mas terrible dolor que puede sufrir
un ser humano. Un poema con varios fragmentos dedicado a mi querido
hermano Armando fallecido dos anos antes que mi hija. Y otros
poemas en donde se expresan diferentes vivencias algunas de forma
metaforica, el dolor que me produjo la muerte de mi hija; en los
momentos de agonia y posteriormente. Una dedicada a mi tio, a mi
padre, otra en especial a mi madre que soporto estoica el proceso
de un embarazo complicado cuando me tuvo en su vientre. Finalmente
la resignificacion y las ensenanzas que me dejaron mi hija y mi
hermano, ella de vivir el presente y el de nunca desistir.
I dedicate these poems to the students and the teachers and staff
of P.S. #5 in Jersey City New Jersey. Also to all my children,
Alex, Lynnette, Ronny, Merry, and grandchildren, Tiffany, Micaela,
Max, and Sofia. To my father Anibal and my mother Francisca.
This book is a delightful and silly story. It is educational, full
of bright and colorful images with learning experiences in the
classroom.
Spain has been a fruitful locus for the European imagination for
centuries, and it has been most often perceived in black-and-white
oppositions -- either as a tyrannical and fanatical force in the
early modern period or as an imaginary geography of a 'Romantic'
Spain in later centuries. However, the image of Spain, its culture
and its inhabitants did not evolve inexorably from negative to
positive. From the early modern period onwards, it responded to an
ambiguous matrix of conflicting Hispanophobic and Hispanophilic
representations. Just as in the nineteenth century latent negative
stereotypes continued to resurface, even in the Romantic heyday, in
the early modern period appreciation for Spain was equally
undeniable. When Spain was a political and military superpower, it
also enjoyed cultural hegemony with a literary Golden Age producing
internationally hailed masterpieces. Literary Hispanophobia and
Hispanophilia in Britain and the Low Countries (1550-1850) explores
the protracted interest in Spain and its culture, and it exposes
the co-existent ambiguity between scorn and fascination that
characterizes Western historical perceptions, in particular in
Britain and the Low Countries, two geographical spaces with a
shared sense of historical connectedness and an overlapping,
sometimes complicated, history with Spain.
