Sor Juana In de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Each of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library anatomy and medicine spirituality classical learning and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico opens up new readings of her texts through the lens of cultural and intellectual history and material culture in order to shed light on the production of knowledge in the seventeenth-century colonial Mexican society of which she was both a product and an anomaly. | Sor Juana In�de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World After Apocalypse

This book considers the new ways time was experienced in the sixteenth- and seventeeth-century Hispanic world in the framework of global Catholicism. It underscores the crucial role that the imitation of Christ plays in modeling how representative writers physically and mentally interiorize temporal impermanence as the Messiah’s suffering body becomes a paradigmatic as well as malleable marker of the avatars of earthly history. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which authors adapt Christ-centered conceptions of existence to accommodate both a volatile post-eschatological world and the increased dominance of mechanical clock time. As novel means of communing with Christ emerge so too do new modes of sensing and understanding time unleashing unprecedented cultural and literary reinvention. This is demonstrated through close analyses of writings by such influential figures as Saint Ignatius of Loyola Saint Teresa of Ávila Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. | Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World After Apocalypse

The Cristos yacentes of Gregorio Fernández Polychrome Sculptures of the Supine Christ in Seventeenth-Century Spain

Analyzing seventeenth-century images of the dead Christ produced by Gregorio Fern¡ndez author Ilenia Col³n Mendoza investigates how and why the artist and his patrons manipulated these images in connection with the religious literature of the time to produce striking images that moved the faithful to devotion. In so doing she contributes new findings to the topic of Spanish sacred sculpture. The author re-examines these sculptures not only in the context of a larger sculptural group but also as independent sculptures that were intended as powerful aids to contemplation and devotion as was prescribed by the writings of San Juan de la Cruz and Luis de Granada. Combining study of the sculptural works with that of liturgical sources she reveals the connection between the written word and the sculpted work of art. Through this interdisciplinary approach the author links Fern¡ndez's sculptural program with the strategic objectives of major patrons of the period such as the Duke of Lerma and King Philip III of Spain both fervent defenders of the Catholic faith. | The Cristos yacentes of Gregorio Fernández Polychrome Sculptures of the Supine Christ in Seventeenth-Century Spain

Puerto Rico’s Henry Klumb A Modern Architect’s Sense of Place

This book follows Henry Klumb’s life in architecture from Cologne Germany to Puerto Rico. Arriving on the island Klumb was a one-time German immigrant a moderately successful designer and previously a senior draftsman with Frank Lloyd Wright. Over the next forty years Klumb would emerge as Puerto Rico’s most prolific locally well-known and celebrated modern architect. In addition to becoming a leading figure in Latin American modern architecture Klumb also became one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most accomplished protégés and an architect with a highly attuned social and environmental consciousness. Cruz explores his life works and legacy through the lens of a sense of place defined as the beliefs that people adopt actions undertaken and feelings developed towards specific locations and spaces. He argues that the architect’s sense of place was a defining quality of his life and work most evident in the houses he designed and built in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico’s Henry Klumb offers a historical narrative culminating in a series of architectural analyses focusing on four key design strategies employed in Klumb’s work: vernacular architecture the grid and the landscape dense urban spaces and open air rooms. This book is aimed at researchers academics and postgraduate students interested in Latin American architecture modernism and architectural history. | Puerto Rico’s Henry Klumb A Modern Architect’s Sense of Place

US Hegemony and the Americas Power and Economic Statecraft in International Relations

In this book Arturo Santa-Cruz advances an understanding of power as a social relationship and applies it consistently to the economic realm in United States relations with other countries of the Western Hemisphere. Following the academic and popular debate on the ebb and flow of US hegemony this work centers the analysis in a critical case for the exercise of US power through its economic statecraft: the Americas—its historical zone of influence. The rationale for the regional focus is methodological: if it can be shown that Washington's sway has decreased in the area since the early 1970s when the discussion about this matter started it can be safely assumed that the same has occurred in other latitudes. The analysis focuses on three regions: North America Central America and South America. Since each region contains countries that have at times maintained very different relationships with the United States the findings contribute to a better understanding of the practice of US power in the sub-region in question adding greater variability to the overall results.

Is There a God? A Debate

Bertrand Russell famously quipped that he didn’t believe in God for the same reason that he didn’t believe in a teapot in orbit between the earth and Mars: it is a bizarre assertion for which no evidence can be provided. Is belief in God really like belief in Russell’s teapot? Kenneth L. Pearce argues that God is no teapot. God is a real answer to the deepest question of all: why is there something rather than nothing? Graham Oppy argues that we should believe that there are none but natural causal entities with none but natural causal properties—and hence should believe that there are no gods. Beginning from this basic disagreement the authors proceed to discuss and debate a wide range of philosophical questions including questions about explanation necessity rationality religious experience mathematical objects the foundations of ethics and the methodology of philosophy. Each author first presents his own side and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments section summaries bolded key terms and principles a glossary and annotated reading lists. In the volume foreword Helen De Cruz calls the debate both edifying and a joy and sums up what’s at stake: Here you have two carefully formulated positive proposals for worldviews that explain all that is: classical theism or naturalistic atheism. You can follow along with the authors and deliberate: which one do you find more plausible? Though written with beginning students in mind this debate will be of interest to philosophers at all levels and to anyone who values careful rational thought about the nature of reality and our place in it. | Is There a God?

Developmental Trauma Theory Research and Practice

Developmental Trauma offers a comprehensive introduction to the research findings that help us understand the effects on human development of early childhood trauma and adaptation to stress. It explains how DTD differs from PTSD and emerges from a toxic seed planted at the beginning of an individual’s lifespan development. This important volume examines relational traumas and adverse childhood experiences such as exposure to family and community violence polyvictimization (multiple repeated childhood traumas) and disruptions to parent-child bonds which lay the foundation for future relationships. The volume considers how DTD affects self-regulation capacities identity development self-esteem and faith in oneself and others and increases the likelihood of comorbidities including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. Individuals with indications of developmental trauma face lifelong challenges in their ability to develop and maintain trusting relationships to build and utilize healthy coping strategies and to adjust to school and eventually the workplace. Uniquely Daniel Cruz goes beyond individual levels of analysis that focus almost exclusively on patients and explores toxic stress embedded in social systems and institutional policies and procedures that cause individuals to suffer experience psychiatric and medical problems and that lead to social and economic adversities such as poverty homelessness and involvement in criminal activity. Key topics explored include institutional betrayal such as sexual assaults and workplace bullying and judicial betrayal when failures from the legal system do not adequately protect victims of trauma for example in cases of domestic violence. Developmental Trauma is for students of child and adolescent psychology developmental psychology clinical psychology primary care and health psychology education social work and urban studies. It is relevant for graduate students in applied fields such as clinical and counseling psychology and those working with diverse children as well as public health and policy. | Developmental Trauma Theory Research and Practice

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans but especially for African Americans. áThe sheer magnitude of immigration-it is the primary factor driving population growth-is so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic political social and environmental circumstances of most Americans. áBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market have special consequences for African Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers. These effects can be both negative and positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor into the low-wage sector of the labor market which tends to reduce wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers. Employers may prefer hiring immigrants who are perceived to be hard working and uncomplaining to hiring African Americans. Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public services (especially education) on which African Americans depend. Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban revitalization which can increase job opportunities and spread an ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political power of African Americans but it can also strengthen the civil rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting others. This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include Gerald Jaynes (Yale University) Vernon Briggs (Cornell University) Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California Irvine) Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College) Manuel Pastor (University of California Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli (University of Massachusetts Boston) Steven Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies) Frank Morris (University of Texas Dallas) Steven Shulman (Colorado State University) and Hannes Johannsson (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and Lisa Catanzarite (University of California Los Angeles). | The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

A New Modern Philosophy The Inclusive Anthology of Primary Sources

The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are arguably the most important period in philosophy’s history given that they set a new and broad foundation for subsequent philosophical thought. Over the last decade however discontent among instructors has grown with coursebooks’ unwavering focus on the era’s seven most well-known philosophers—all of them white and male—and on their exclusively metaphysical and epistemological concerns. While few dispute the centrality of these figures and the questions they raised the modern era also included essential contributions from women—like Margaret Cavendish Elisabeth of Bohemia Mary Wollstonecraft and Émilie Du Chtelet—as well as important non-white thinkers such as Anton Wilhelm Amo Julien Raimond and Ottobah Cugoano. At the same time there has been increasing recognition that moral and political philosophy philosophy of the natural world and philosophy of race—also vibrant areas of the seventeenth and ighteenth centuries—need to be better integrated with the standard coverage of metaphysics and epistemology. The second edition of A New Modern Philosophy: The Inclusive Anthology of Primary Sources addresses—in one volume—these valid criticisms. Weaving together multiple voices and all of the era’s vibrant areas of debate this volume sets a new agenda for studying modern philosophy. It includes a wide range of readings from 36 thinkers integrating essential works from all of the canonical writers along with the previously neglected philosophers. Editors Gwendolyn Marshall and Susanne Sreedhar provide an introduction for each author that sets the thinker in his or her time period as well as in the longer debates to which the thinker contributed. Study questions and suggestions for further reading conclude each chapter. At the end of the volume in addition to a comprehensive subject index the book includes 13 Syllabus Modules which will help instructors use the book to easily set up different topically structured courses such as The Citizen and the State Mind and Matter Education Theories of Perception or Metaphysics of Causation. And an eResource offers a wide range of supplemental online resources including essay assignments exams quizzes student handouts reading questions and scholarly articles on teaching the history of philosophy. Key Updates to the Second Edition: Provides an expanded table of contents and the addition of new chapters on Galileo and Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz Expands readings and coverage in chapters on Spinoza and Descartes Offers improved Syllabus Modules at the back of the book Includes a new Student Introduction Updates bibliographic information | A New Modern Philosophy The Inclusive Anthology of Primary Sources
