Book Synopsis The Spirit of Hispanism by : Diana Arbaiza
Download or read book The Spirit of Hispanism written by Diana Arbaiza. This book was released on 2020-03-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, Spanish intellectuals and entrepreneurs became captivated with Hispanism, a movement of transatlantic rapprochement between Spain and Latin America. Not only was this movement envisioned as a form of cultural empire to symbolically compensate for Spain’s colonial decline but it was also imagined as an opportunity to materially regain the Latin American markets. Paradoxically, a central trope of Hispanist discourse was the antimaterialistic character of Hispanic culture, allegedly the legacy of the moral superiority of Spanish colonialism in comparison with the commercial drive of modern colonial projects. This study examines how Spanish authors, economists, and entrepreneurs of various ideological backgrounds strove to reconcile the construction of Hispanic cultural identity with discourses of political economy and commercial interests surrounding the movement. Drawing from an interdisciplinary archive of literary essays, economic treatises, and political discourses, The Spirit of Hispanism revisits Peninsular Hispanism to underscore how the interlacing of cultural and commercial interests fundamentally shaped the Hispanist movement. The Spirit of Hispanism will appeal to scholars in Hispanic literary and cultural studies as well as historians and anthropologists who specialize in the history of Spain and Latin America.

Book Synopsis La cultura española en la Edad Moderna by : Luis Gil Fernández
Download or read book La cultura española en la Edad Moderna written by Luis Gil Fernández. This book was released on 2004-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La España de la Edad Moderna asistió a uno de los momentos de máximo esplendor de la cultura hispana. Sin embargo, los indudables logros de las artes plásticas y de la literatura no siempre dejan ver que, a lo largo de estos trescientos años, las luces se han alternado con zonas de sombra. A este respecto, el presente libro ofrece un completo, complejo y riguroso panorama de tres siglos de producción cultural, enriquecido por las últimas aportaciones de las investigaciones y de los nuevos enfoques metodológicos. En sus distintos capítulos, los autores, reconocidos especialistas en la materia, analizan las conquistas sin ocultar los fracasos en los ámbitos del pensamiento, las artes o la religiosidad, desde el fallido humanismo del quinientos hasta la modernización traída por la Ilustración, pasando por el peso e influencia de Trento en el siglo XVII. El volumen concluye con un epígrafe dedicado a la educación del príncipe. El resultado es una cuidada síntesis, moderna en los planteamientos, en los métodos y en la bibliografía, de la cultura española entre los siglos XVI al XVIII.
