Fictions Of Containment In The Spanish Female Picaresque: Architectural Space And Prostitution In The Early Modern Mediterranean, Emily Kuffner

Hispanic Studies Faculty Books

This study examines the interdependence of gender, sexuality and space in the early modern period, which saw the inception of architecture as a discipline and gave rise to the first custodial institutions for women, including convents for reformed prostitutes. Meanwhile, conduct manuals established prescriptive mandates for female use of space, concentrating especially on the liminal spaces of the home. This work traces literary prostitution in the Spanish Mediterranean through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the rise of courtesan culture in several key areas through the shift from tolerance of prostitution toward repression. Kuffner’s analysis pairs canonical and noncanonical works …

José Isaacson Y La PoéTica Del Encuentro, Marina Martin

Hispanic Studies Faculty Books

Find this book in the library.

José Isaacson (Buenos Aires, 1922) pertenece a un grupo estelar de poetas argentinos –Borges, Olga Orozco, Roberto Juarroz y Alejandra Pizarnik, entre otros– que, en conjunto, marcan un hito en la literatura hispana del siglo XX. Dada la riqueza temática, el giro hacia la metafísica que se evidencia invariablemente en sus escritos y la profundidad de su visión humanística, cabe suponer en la obra de Isaacson un alcance internacional. El texto dialoga con voces filosóficas que perfilan un encuentro asentado en el misterio del tiempo. Aristóteles, Spinoza, Kafka, Kant, Buber y Wittgenstein, entre otros, …

Faith Transformed : Christian Encounters With Jews And Judaism, John C. Merkle

Theology Faculty Books

Traditionally, Christian churches have taught that the validity of Judaism came to an end with the emergence of Christianity. But in the last half-century, many Christians have repudiated this teaching and have affirmed the abiding validity of Judaism. Consequently, they have had to reevaluate Christian self-understanding in relation to Judaism. In Faith Transformed, Christian scholars who have been at the forefront of Christian-Jewish relations share how their encounters with Jews and Judaism have transformed their understanding and practice of Christianity. They reveal how their Christian faith has been profoundly enriched by drawing inspiration from the Jewish tradition.

The Reshaping Of A Tradition: American Benedictine Women, 1852-1881, Ephrem (Rita) Hollermann Osb

Saint Benedict’s Monastery Books

"The primary focus of this book is on the women and the way of life from 1852-1881. In researching this segment of time, the chief aims were 1) to identify the early foundresses of Benedictinism in North America, 2) to describe as far as possible the experiences and role of these women in the early spread of the Order in the United States, and 3) to discover some of the continuities and discontinuities between their life in America and in Europe. The results of this research yielded deeper insight into the nineteenth-century founding experience of American Benedictine women." [from the …

With Lamps Burning, M. Grace Mcdonald Osb

Saint Benedict’s Monastery Books

It is the purpose of this book to trace the growth of the Convent of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota, from its establishment to the present time. In doing so, the author has attempted to show how a frontier country modified the character of an Old World Benedictine convent with its centuries of tradition, and how at the same time this religious community influenced in its turn the cultural and religious life of Minnesota and the Midwest. The author has found it necessary, therefore, to describe the environment – national, political, and religious – into which the sisters ventured. …
