The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature

Sinopsis del Libro

This volume, the first ever of its kind in English, introduces and surveys Greek literature in Byzantium (330 - 1453 CE). In twenty-five chapters composed by leading specialists, The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature surveys the immense body of Greek literature produced from the fourth to the fifteenth century CE and advances a nuanced understanding of what "literature" was in Byzantium. This volume is structured in four sections. The first, "Materials, Norms, Codes," presents basic structures for understanding the history of Byzantine literature like language, manuscript book culture, theories of literature, and systems of textual memory. The second, "Forms," deals with the how Byzantine literature works: oral discourse and "text"; storytelling; rhetoric; re-writing; verse; and song. The third section ("Agents") focuses on the creators of Byzantine literature, both its producers and its recipients. The final section, entitled "Translation, Transmission, Edition," surveys the three main ways by which we access Byzantine Greek literature today: translations into other Byzantine languages during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages; Byzantine and post-Byzantine manuscripts; and modern printed editions. The volume concludes with an essay that offers a view of the recent past--as well as the likely future--of Byzantine literary studies.

Latinoamérica entre el Mediterráneo y el Báltico

Como su nombre senala, el Mediterraneo fue, historicamente, un mediador, fisica y culturalmente, entre tierras y hombres; mas tarde, su calidad mediadora se traslado, con los conquistadores iberos, a tierras americanas; a diferencia de la colonizacion proveniente del mundo norteeuropeo agrupado en torno al Baltico, la que provino del Mediterraneo se mostro incluyente, ofreciendo asi la clave de un mundo multicultural cada vez mas necesario tras las grandes migraciones de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

A la vera de las independencias de la América Hispánica

Los movimientos independentistas que, a lo largo del siglo XIX, pusieron fin al dominio ibérico en América constituyen una épica apasionante y llena de claroscuros. Es una aventura rica en sucesos extraordinarios y personajes notables que contribuyeron a redefinir el rostro de un continente. La memoria colectiva conserva algunos de estos sucesos y a muchos de sus protagonistas. Sin embargo, una parte significativa de lo ocurrido durante ese tormentoso siglo y un buen número de figuras que encabezaron dicho impulso libertario han sido objeto del más injusto olvido.
