Memory, Transitional Justice, and Theatre in Postdictatorship Argentina By Noe Montez
2017 | 262 Pages | ISBN: 0809336294 | PDF | 8 MB
Author Noe Montez considers how theatre, as a site of activism, produces memory narratives that change public reception to a government's transitional justice policies. Drawing on contemporary research in memory studies and transitional justice, Montez examines the Argentine theatre's responses to the country's transitional justice policies-truth and reconciliation hearings, trials, amnesties and pardons, and memorial events and spaces-that have taken place in the last decade of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Montez explores how the sociohistorical phenomenon of the Teatroxlaidentidad-an annual showcase staged with the support of Argentina's Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo-acted as a vehicle for drawing attention to the hundreds of children kidnapped from their families during the dictatorship and looks at why the memory narratives regarding the Malvinas Islands (also known as the Falklands) range from ideological appropriations of the islands, to absurdist commentaries about the failed war that signaled the dictatorship's end, to the islands' heavily contested status today. Memory, Transitional Justice, and Theatre in Postdictatorship Argentina explores the vibrant role of theatrical engagement in postdictatorship Argentina, analyzes plays by artists long neglected in English-language articles and books, and explores the practicalities of staging performances in Latin America.

Rabia Gregory, "Marrying Jesus in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe: Popular Culture and Religious Reform"
English | 2016 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 1138379972, 147242266X | PDF | 7,7 mb
The first full-length study of the notion of marriage to Jesus in late medieval and early modern popular culture, this book treats the transmission and transformation of ideas about this concept as a case study in the formation of religious belief and popular culture. Marrying Jesus in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe provides a history of the dispersion of theology about the bride of Christ in the period between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries and explains how this metaphor, initially devised for a religious elite, became integral to the laity's pursuit of salvation. Unlike recent publications on the bride of Christ, which explore the gendering of sanctity or the poetics of religious eroticism, this is a study of popular religion told through devotional media and other technologies of salvation. Marrying Jesus argues against the heteronormative interpretation that brides of Christ should be female by reconstructing the cultural production of brides of Christ in late medieval Europe. A central assertion of this book is that by the fourteenth century, worldly, sexually active brides of Christ, both male and female, were no longer aberrations. Analyzing understudied vernacular sources from the late medieval period - including sermons, early printed books, spiritual diaries, letters, songs, and hagiographies - Rabia Gregory shows how marrying Jesus was central to late medieval lay piety, and how the 'chaste' bride of Christ developed out of sixteenth-century religious disputes.

Voltaire, Fran Ois-Marie Arouet, Francois-Marie Arouet, "Mahomet"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1617202584, 1515431029 | PDF | pages: 78 | 0.8 mb
This powerful work was read by Voltaire to Frederick of Prussia in 1740, to the king's great delight. The play was withdrawn after the fourth representation, under pressure of Church authorities who professed to see in it a bloody satire against the Christian religion. Almost three hundred years later critics are still unclear if this play is a rebuke of Islam or of Christianity or, perhaps, both. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.
