Cuerpos plegables
  • Anatomías de la excepción en España y en America Latina (Siglos XVI-XVIII)

  • Este libro explora la atracción de los "Siglos de oro" por lo monstruoso. Varios trabajos recientes ya han arrojado luz sobre la abundante representación de cuerpos excesivos que afloran en los siglosXVI y XVI y que parecen, acaso, reflejar el lenguaje inflado y deformado a través del cual son descritos en la literatura de la época. Sin obviar sus logros, el libro intenta ir más allá para mostrar que lo más sorprendente de la monstruosidad en este periodo no es la manera en que representa un exceso barroco, sino la forma en que el exceso mismo está estructurado en una imagen dual. Muchos deestos "monstruos" (hermafroditas, bicéfalos o licántropos) ostentan un diseño geminado que permanece, de hecho, inexplicado. Qué explica tal anomalía? Cómo contribuirá esta excepción a modelar la imagen misma de lo normal? Qué tiene que ver con la configuración del nuevo cuerpo político a través del cual las relaciones sociales iban a ser imaginadas, a partir de entonces, en el mundo occidental?

    Víctor M. Pueyo es profesor titular en el Departamento de Español y Portugués de Temple University.

    This is a book about the obsession of the Spanish "Golden Age" with the monstrous. Recent research has begun to cast light upon the abundant representation of excessive bodies that mirrors the swelled and deformed language through which they are depicted in early modern literature. Without disregarding its representational approach, the book goes beyond this body of research by arguing that the most surprising element about monstrosity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is not the way it represents Baroque excess, but the way excess itself is structured into a dual image. Most of these "monsters" (hermaphrodites, lycanthropes, two-headed creatures) have a geminated form that remains, indeed, largely unaccounted. What explains such an anomaly? How will it shape the rule? What does it have to do with the configuration of the new body politic through which social relations were going to be imagined in the Western World?

    Víctor Pueyo is associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Temple University.

  • Did Spain fall into decline or flourish in the seventeenth century?

    This edited collection looks at perceptions and representations of Philip IV, Spain's 'Planet King', and his government against the backdrop of the seventeenth-century General Crisis in Europe, wars, revolutions and a sovereign debt crisis. Scholars often associate Philip's reign (1621-1665) with decline, decadence, crisis, stagnation and adversity (as did many contemporaries); yet the glittering cultural and artistic achievements (enhanced by his patronage) of the period led it to be dubbed 'the' Golden Age. The book analyses these contradictions, examining Philip's own understanding of kingship and how he and his courtiers used art and ceremony to project an image of strength, tradition, culture and prestige, while, at the same time, the empire grappled with revolts in Europe and falling trade with its New World colonies.
