Recensión de libro:MARÍAS. Entre la adoración y el estigma, María Ángeles Martí Bonafé (coord.), Valencia: Tirant Humanidades, 2022, 103 pp.

ABSTRACT: During the first quarter of the seventeenth century, the genre of emblematic literature took a clear turn towards its more doctrinal aspects, producing a large series of works in this period whose illustrations, which generally exceed the quality of the preceding repertoires, in many cases were filled with characters who have the appearance of charming children or young people performing actions of apparent naivety. In this article, we are going to delve into the analysis of those cultural, literary, and iconic-artistic factors that converged in emblematic books during those decades that were critical for redefining the genre, and which led to the «infantilization» of its protagonist personifications in the most prominent works of an ascetic or mystical orientation. We will refer, in the same way, to the most relevant productions which have this distinctive feature operating in their picturae. KEYWORDSEmblematic; Eros; Divine Love; Infant Personification; Mystical Iconography RESUMEN: Durante el primer cuarto del s. XVII el género de la literatura de emblemas experimenta una clara derivación hacia la vertiente más doctrinal del mismo, produciendo en este periodo una nutrida serie de obras cuyas ilustraciones, que exceden por regla general la calidad de los repertorios precedentes, estarán protagonizadas en muchos casos por unos personajes que adoptan el aspecto de encantadores niños o jóvenes realizando acciones de aparente ingenuidad. En el presente artículo vamos a profundizar en el análisis de aquellos factores culturales, literarios e icónico-artísticos que confluyeron en los libros de emblemas en unas décadas críticas de redefinición del género y que propiciaron la «infantilización» de sus personificaciones protagonistas en las más destacadas obras de orientación ascética o mística. Haremos referencia, de igual modo, a aquellas producciones más relevantes en las que se opera este rasgo distintivo en sus picturae.

ABSTRACT: Although many emblems resemble mirrors of princes giving advice to future sovereigns, the question of the transmission of knowledge and the education of the prince is more rarely addressed. However, the authors of emblems deal with this issue in a very concrete way, focusing in particular on the influence –positive or negative– that teachers can exert on their pupils, even if most of them recognize the need for early education. Finally, the recommendations on teaching and pedagogy formulated in several emblems reveal the importance of the issue of the education of the prince in the Renaissance and the 17th century. KEYWORDS:Emblematics; Education; Politics; Iconography; 16th and 17th Centuries RESUMEN: Si de nombreux emblèmes s’apparentent à des miroirs des princes en délivrant des conseils aux futurs souverains, la question de la transmission du savoir et de l’enseignement du prince est plus rarement abordée. Cependant, les auteurs d’emblèmes traitent de cette question de manière très concrète en s’attachant notamment à l’influence –positive ou négative– que les maîtres peuvent exercer sur leurs élèves, même si la plupart reconnaissent la nécessité d’une éducation précoce. Enfin les préconisations en matière d’enseignement et de pédagogies formulées dans plusieurs emblèmes révèlent l’importance de la question de l’éducation du prince à la Renaissance et au XVIIe siècle.

This paper determines the path followed by Flavia, a woman victim of gender-based violence, who left her home in the province of La Rioja and moved to a small community in the northwest of the province of Córdoba, Argentina, with her two daughters. Based on the ethnographic work carried out, we analyze the search for and construction of a home from the vulnerability approach. The fieldwork allows us to explore how women and their families which have experienced situations of gender-based violence live in «vulnerable homes» and were able to rebuild themselves by relying on family ties and social support networks in order to rebuild a home. This work also allows us to observe how the notion of vulnerability was used in different situations or scenarios as a moral and bureaucratic resource both, by public authorities to select those to protect, and by vulnerable people, to claim their rights. Vulnerability emerges as a space of experience in which people learn to navigate and in which distress, creativity and social support networks overlap. 

This paper is a study of indigenous socio-political practices in the former Huamachuco province through the analysis of a legal document from the first decade of the 17th century. We analyze a litigation regarding indigenous political organization that sheds light on interactions between a chiefdom in the highlands and one located in Simbal, in the middle zone between the coast and the highlands. Based on this case study, and on the analysis of the arguments presented by the parties involved, this paper documents the stability of pre-Hispanic practices, even pre-Inca, during the early Colonial period, therein contributing to our understanding history of the region.  

The following essay aims to investigate the aesthetic proposal of inverting the map of South America by Joaquín Torres-García (Uruguayan artist), and its relations and parallelisms with Latin America Social Science in the 20th century (1930 onwards), primarily with decolonial thinking (mainly in the gaze of Anibal Quijano and Boaventura de Sousa Santos). What are the relachionships, parallels and intersections between the art and the social sciences of Latin America in the 20th century? Was it sought to «invert to map» in the social sciences of the 30s and 40s (decade of creation of the work)? How does it become an aesthetic symbol present in the new positions of the social sciences of Latin America? The questions presented seek to open reflections in relation to the social sciences and art of the 20th century, positioning historical view of the ideas of «south» proposed by the disciplines.

In recent years, the music press has resorted to digital content to survive in the Internet era. It is the case of the Spanish magazine Rockdelux, which in 2020 closed its print edition to become an online platform with digital subscriptions. The objective of this research is to define the characteristics of the journalistic coverage developed by this media in its renewed website Rockdelux.com. For this purpose, this study analyzed more than 1,300 articles published during the transition from paper edition to digital edition; through an own methodology developed to compare editorial preferences on specific musical and journalistic genres. The conclusion was that the new Rockdelux with paywall has prioritized writing articles on trending music, such as reggaeton and hip hop —in addition to having increased the publication of short and immediate texts, such as reviews and news.
