"The spectacular international success of the Spanish sculptor Juan Muñoz has tended to encourage a critical framing of the artist's work within narratives of global postmodernist innovation. This book, the first in-depth study of the central idea of silence in Muñoz's work, aims to position him more clearly within his historical moment, by reading his work against the silences of Spanish politics and culture in post-Civil War Spain. Drawing on a wealth of documents, beginning with Muñoz's student notebooks, the book shows how silence and memory defined and shaped his art. A range of methodologies from within Muñoz's own intellectual horizon is applied to explore a progression from the implied silences of his sculptural installations to the literal sounds and silences of his first radio piece. Muñoz's silencing strategies are analysed across different mediums, both visual and verbal, to show how his art probes and reanimates the uncanny memory of Spain's traumatic past"--

"The collection of the Spanish Gallery at Bishop Auckland boasts a significant group of paintings that shed light on the rich and diverse artistic exchanges between Spain and Italy around 1600. Many Spanish artists spent part of their careers in Italy, while their Italian counterparts pursued opportunities in Habsburg Spain. In addition, Spanish patrons who were based in Rome or Naples commissioned works from local artists. The transcultural itineraries of Orrente, Maíno, Tristán, Borgianni and Cavarozzi in the age of Caravaggio can be traced through their pictures in the Spanish Gallery collection, which have hitherto been neglected but are relevant for illuminating an important chapter in the complex history of Spain's Golden Age. This volume sets out to consider these pictures showing the effects of Italian influence in Spain and revealing the Spanish element in the creation and circulation of works produced in Italian territories under Spanish control during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This study of Spanish-Italian relations tells a story of a pivotal change of direction in taste and artistic invention. It is possible to understand this renewal through a handful of painters who are relatively unknown to wider audiences but are increasingly recognised as key players in a process of radical transformation." --

Exploring Latin@ theologies and the power of revelation.The Word Became Culture enacts a preferential option for culture, retrieving experiences and expressions from across latinidad as sources of theologizing and acts of resistance to marginalization. Each author in this edited volume demonstrates the many ways in which Latin@ theologies are disruptive, generative, and creative spaces rooted in the richness, struggles, texts, and rituals found at the intersections of faith and culture. With a foreword by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Culture, this book situates Latin@ theologies in the ongoing search for and recognition of the "Word becoming" within the particularities of diverse cultural experiences.

In this original study, Gabriel Horowitz examines the work of select nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin American writers through the lens of contemporary theoretical debates about nature, postcoloniality, and national identity. In the work of José Martí, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Jorge Luis Borges, Augusto Roa Bastos, Cesar Aira, and others, he traces historical constructions of nature in regional intellectual traditions and texts as they inform political culture on the broader global stage. By investigating national literary discourses from Cuba, Argentina, and Paraguay, he identifies a common narrative thread that imagines the utopian wilderness of the New World as a symbolic site of independence from Spain. In these texts, Horowitz argues, an expressed desire to return to the nation’s foundational nature contributed to a movement away from political and social engagement and toward a “biopolitical state,” in which nature, traditionally seen as pre-political, conversely becomes its center.
