This book delves into creative renditions of key aspects of Jewish Mysticism in Latin American literature, film, and art from the perspective of literary and cultural studies. It introduces the work of Latin American authors and artists who have been inspired by Jewish Mysticism from the 1960s to the present focusing on representations of dybbuks (transmigratory souls), the presence of Eros as part of the experience of mystical prayer, reformulations of Zoharic fables, and the search for Tikkun Olam (cosmic repair), among other key topics of Jewish Mysticism. The purpose of this book is to open up these aspects of their work to a broad audience who may or may not be familiar with Jewish Mysticism.

A desire for intimacy in domestic spaces – motivated by a growing sense of individualistic expression, an incentive to conceal the labor or enslavement taking place, and an appetite for solace and comfort – led to interiors taking on more specific roles in the eighteenth century. By examining the architectural, visual, and material culture of eighteenth-century spaces, Intimate Interiors foregrounds the interrelated concepts of intimacy, privacy, informality, and sociability in order to show how these ideas played an increasingly integral role in the period's architectural and material design. Across eleven innovative chapters that explore issues of gender, politics, travel, exoticism, imperialism, sensorial experiences, identity, interiority, and modernity, this volume demonstrates how intimacy was a fundamental goal in the planning of private quarters. In doing so, the political nature of private spaces is uncovered, whilst highlighting the contradictions and complexities of these highly performative “private” interiors. Employing distinct methodological perspectives across various geographical sites, from Turkey to Versailles, Britain to Benin, Intimate Interiors draws as-yet untraced connections between Enlightenment Europe, imperial outposts, and major metropolitan centers across the globe.

Los Sufis es la mejor introduccion jamas escrita sobre la escuela filosofica y mistica tradicionalmente asociada con el mundo islamico.Potente, conciso e intensamente estimulante, resume mas de mil anos de pensamiento oriental - el producto de algunas de las mentes mas ilustres de toda la historia humana - en una sola obra, presentando ideas atemporales en un estilo fresco y contemporaneo.Cuando el libro se publico originalmente en ingles, en 1964, lanzo a su autor, Idries Shah, a la escena internacional, atrayendo la atencion de pensadores y escritores como J. D. Salinger, la Premio Nobel Doris Lessing, Ted Hughes, Claudio Naranjo y Robert Graves.Tambien introdujo al mundo occidental nuevos conceptos que ahora son comunes, como la importancia psicologica de la atencion y el humor, el uso de historias tradicionales como instrumentos de ensenanza (lo que Shah denomino "e;cuentos ensenantes"e;), y la deuda historica de Occidente con el Medio Oriente en materia cientifica, literaria y filosofica.Como introduccion a las muchas docenas de libros Sufis que Shah escribio despues, es insuperable: este mismo libro abre una ventana a una comunidad de gente (Los Sufis mismos) cuyo sistema de pensamiento y accion se ha enfocado durante mucho tiempo en el avance de la humanidad toda, y cuyas ideas sobre los individuos y la sociedad, su proposito y direccion, deben ser comprendidas y ponderadas... hoy mas que nunca.

No es otra cosa que un sueño que se amarra a tu piel, y en su brillo de estrella te transporta a un universo de emociones. Donde el amor, la soledad, la tristeza, la ausencia, la euforia...se conjugan de manera que realicen el milagro de convertirlo en una realidad. Que simplemente no es otra que el propio placer de poder escribir...de poder transmitir a través de la palabra, poder darle forma, cuerpo...a todos las emociones que nos recorren el alma.

Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. Tangible elements of the nation?s past?monuments, cultural property, and art-historical icons?were displayed in temporary exhibitions and museums, as well as reproduced on posters and in print media, to rally the population, define national identity, and reinvent distant and recent history. Artists, political-party propagandists, and government administrators believed that images on the street, in print, and in exhibitions would create a community of viewers, brought together during the staging of public exhibitions to understand their own roles as Spaniards. This book draws on extensive archival research, brings to light unpublished documents, and examines visual propaganda, exhibitions, and texts unavailable in English. It engages with questions of national self-definition and historical memory at their intersections with the fine arts, visual culture, exhibition history, tourism, and propaganda during the Spanish Civil War and immediate post-war period, as well as contemporary responses to the contested legacy of the Spanish Civil War. It will be of interest to scholars in art history, visual and cultural history, history, and museum studies.
