"La maternidad, situada en un cruce de caminos disciplinar, se ha convertido en un tema historiográfico por derecho propio y ha dejado de leerse como una circunstancia exclusivamente biológica para verse también como un hecho social clave en la construcción de la identidad histórica de las reinas de España. Este libro, pues, analiza el «ritual del nacimiento» de príncipes e infantes en la corte española entre los siglos XVI y XVII, así como el papel que reinas, damas y comadres desempeñaron en dicho sistema cultural, conformado por una serie de ritos previos y posteriores al alumbramiento. De Carlos reconstruye en estas páginas de manera original y muy documentada la cultura de los nacimientos de los Austrias españoles y el concepto de autoridad femenina a través de diversas fuentes, pues no se centra exclusivamente en los tratados morales y científicos, sino que toma como punto de partida las representaciones visuales relacionadas con los embarazos y partos regios, que hasta ahora se habían considerado con frecuencia transcripciones casi literales de la realidad. Faltaba en el ámbito hispano un estudio que combinase las dimensiones biológica, simbólica y social de este fenómeno, de modo que el presente volumen viene a llenar un vacío en nuestra historiografía y supone un paso importante para reconstruir el fenómeno de la maternidad con todas sus derivadas en la corte española de los Austrias." --

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an American author of the early nineteenth century. Best known for his short stories The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip van Winkle, he was also a prolific essayist, biographer and historian. He spoke fluent Spanish, which served him well in his writings on that country, and he could read several other languages, including German and Dutch. His first book was A History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, by Diedrich Knickerbocker. He travelled on the Western frontier in the 1830s and recorded his glimpses of Western tri

Maugham spent the winter months of 1919-20 travelling 1500 miles up the Yangtze River. Always more interested in people than places, he gave full rein to a sensitive and philosophical nature. On a Chinese Screen is the refined accumulation of the countless scraps of paper on which he had taken notes. Within the narrow confines of their colonial milieu, missionaries, consuls, army officers and company managers are all gently ridiculed as they persist obliviously with the life they know.

The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal. By investigating how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop the feminist concept of 'intimate citizenship' and propose the new concept of 'intimate citizenship regime', offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization, the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer. The authors provide an analysis of how the couple-form is institutionalized, supported and mandated by legal regulations, social policies and everyday practices, and how this serves to shape the intimate life choices and trajectories of those who seem to be living aslant to the conventional heterosexual cohabiting couple-form. Attending also to practices and moments that challenge couple-normativity, both consciously chosen and explicit, as well as circumstantial, subconscious and implicit, The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm makes an important contribution to literatures on citizenship, intimacy, family life, and social change in sociology, social policy, socio-legal studies, gender/sexuality/queer studies and psychosocial studies.
