Construyendo espacios: la ciudad iberoamericana virreinal
En las últimas décadas los estudios sobre la ciudad hispanoamericana del periodo de dominación española se han visto incrementados con múltiples publicaciones en las que se abordan diferentes aspectos, sin que el tema acabe por agotarse y continúe deparando nuevos y sugerentes enfoques y análisis. Esta obra pretende contribuir al desarrollo de tales estudios a través de la incorporación de diversos temas y con un planteamiento interdisciplinar, como es tradicional en las investigaciones del Instituto de Humanismo y Tradición Clásica, que van de la filosofía a la literatura, pasando por la historia, la geografía y el arte. Varias localidades iberoamericanas, desde Nueva España hasta los virreinatos del Perú y Río de la Plata, se ven retratadas en este trabajo desde diferentes perspectivas.
Religion and Power in Spinoza
The Tractatus Theologico-politicus was published anonimously in 1670, thereby challenging a moderately tolerant Dutch Republic (Pierre Bayle’s great arch of the refugees). The defence of libertas philosophandi (freedom of speech and thought) put forward by Spinoza, along with the underlying analysis of the fundamentals of religion and political power, were received as a radical proposal in Modern Europe, though despite prompting severe criticism and considerable amount of refutations, it circulated profusely and was translated into French, English and Dutch before the end of the century.This volume analyzes into detail Spinoza’s line of reasoning, identifies its allies and its enimies, explores its more or less obvious connections with the Ethica, in order to shed light and reasess the value of this indispensable classic of theological and political thought for our time.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh: A Suffering People Under State Terrorism explores the destructive political situation in Bangladesh under the one-party and one-person rule of the despotic Sheikh Hasina. The contributors to this edited collection examine the catastrophic political environment of the country in view of the Hasina regime’s relentless oppression and repression since 2009, the authoritarian rule of her father in the early 1970s as well as the topic of Indian political, cultural and economic hegemony to which this dictatorial regime is increasingly surrendering Bangladesh's national interest, integrity and sovereignty. The contributors also attempt to expose the wholesale corruption and unprecedented vote-rigging that have rendered the regime completely illegal and illegitimate. They also highlight how the regime has been clinging to power by systemically unleashing terror and tyranny through its widespread networks of state machinery.
Softpower, Soccer, Supremacy
Xi Jinping’s «Soccer Revolution» is unique: the most extensive politicization and geo-politicization of the Global Game. His purpose is to extend the global softpower projection of «the Middle Kingdom»: an ancient Western imperial mantra («bread and circuses») has been replaced by a modern Eastern «imperial» mantra («rice and pitches»). The Asian Football Federation shares this «allopathic» vision of East Asian soccer: the future is Asia and it starts in China! Soccer is a talisman for a New Asia in a New Era. For China soccer is a hubristic instrument of softpower projection. Softpower, Soccer, Supremacy: The Chinese Dream makes this point forcefully. In East Asia soccer in now «much more than a game»!
