Description

Over the course of some two centuries following the conquests and consolidations of Spanish rule in the Americas during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuriesmdash;the period designated as the Baroquemdash;new cultural forms sprang from the cross-fertilization of Spanish; Amerindian; and African traditions. This dynamism of motion; relocation; and mutation changed things not only in Spanish America; but also in Spain; creating a transatlantic Hispanic world with new understandings of personhood; place; foodstuffs; music; animals; ownership; money and objects of value; beauty; human nature; divinity and the sacred; cultural proclivitiesmdash;a whole lexikon of things in motion; variation; and relation to one another.Featuring the most creative thinking by the foremost scholars across a number of disciplines; the Lexikon of the Hispanic Baroque is a uniquely wide-ranging and sustained exploration of the profound cultural transfers and transformations that define the transatlantic Spanish world in the Baroque era. Pairs of authorsmdash;one treating the peninsular Spanish kingdoms; the other those of the Americasmdash;provocatively investigate over forty key concepts; ranging from material objects to metaphysical notions. Illuminating difference as much as complementarity; departure as much as continuity; the book captures a dynamic universe of meanings in the various midst of its own re-creations. The Lexikon of the Hispanic Baroque joins leading work in a number of intersecting fields and will fire new researchmdash;it is the indispensible starting point for all serious scholars of the early modern Spanish world.
