Confessional Cinema: Religion, Film, and Modernity in Spain's Development Years, 1960-1975
ISBN: 9781487501082 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Confessional Cinema, Jorge P?rez analyzes how cinema engaged the shifting role of religion during the last fifteen years of Francisco Franco's dictatorship. P?rez interrogates the assumption that after 1957, when the Franco regime recast itself in a secular and modernizing fashion, religion vanished from the cultural field.

Confessional Cinema offers the first analysis of a neglected body of Spanish films, -nun films, - which...

A Kingdom of Stargazers: Astrology and Authority in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon
ISBN: 9781501713507 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Astrology in the Middle Ages was considered a branch of the magical arts, one informed by Jewish and Muslim scientific knowledge in Muslim Spain. As such it was deeply troubling to some Church authorities. Using the stars and planets to divine the future ran counter to the orthodox Christian notion that human beings have free will, and some clerical authorities argued that it almost certainly entailed the summoning of spiritual forces considered diabolical. We know that occult beliefs and practices became widespread in the later Middle Ages, but there is much about the phenomenon that we...
