This study focuses on the Philippine artist Ricarte Puruganan’s reckoning with the ideas of “country,” “God,” and “the sublime.” It does so through a hermeneutic reading of the artist’s works as a cultural text. In order to fill the gaps in the historiographic record and to enrich the material on the artist that was already available, the…[Read more]

No creo que haya mejor ocasión que este homenaje alcalaíno al maestro Alberto Blecua para vencer las reticencias y dudas del neófito que, en palabras de Márquez Villanueva, ha de pisar por vez primera los “senderos de alto riesgo” por los que camina el Libro de buen amor.

Tal vez uno de los procesos más destacados de la historia de Europa en el siglo XIII sea la configuración de la primera época de esplendor de justas, torneos y todo tipo de espectáculos de riesgo. Aproximadamente entre los años 1170 y 1260, el Viejo Continente asistió a la explosión de estos encuentros, en los que brillaron con luz propia los no…[Read more]

In doing so, they rendered these differences all the more visible, especially in the international arenas. This was definitely the case when freemasons tried to deduce from this ideal “universal” standards…[Read more]

With the British colonialism in the India and the rise of nation states in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Persian lost its status and became more national in various contexts. In Iran it only got worsened with sanctions,…[Read more]

मार्च, 2022 में एक अमेरिकी कॉलेज में 50 साल की सजा काट कर जेल से पेरोल पर छूटे ब्लैक पैंथर के सदस्य को भाषण देने के लिए बुलाया गया था। श्वेत-श्रेष्ठतावादियों ने कार्यक्रम का जोरदार विरोध किया, लेकिन कॉलेज ने कार्यक्रम रद्द करने से इंकार कर दिया। कालेज ने इस कार्यक्रम से कथित तौर अपनी भावनाएं आहत होने का आरोप लगाने वालों को मान…[Read more]
