Prácticas performativas centra su atención en la ritualidad desarrollada en el espacio monástico en diferentes momentos de los siglos medievales hasta los albores de la edad moderna, por parte de diferentes "actores" y en funcionalidades diversas, desde la gestualidad de obediencia debida por los capellanes beneficiados a la abadesa, a la que se expresa en la procesion de disciplina en las cofradias andaluzas durante la Semana Santa. El presente volumen ha permitido descubrir la potencialidad de este enfoque novedoso, el de la performatividad, que pone al descubierto nuevas agencias (agency) por parte de las mujeres, el valor simbolico del objeto y del gesto, la funcionalidad de los espacios; o nuevas miradas al rico catalogo de documentos de archivo y manuscritos de los fondos monasticos.

The very best sort of panoramic portrait David Kynaston The Edwardians have long been the lost decade of British history yet they are that history at its climax Alwyn Turner sets the record straight bringing its characters strains and stresses brilliantly to life Simon JenkinsWhen Queen Victoria died in 1901 it was the end of an era Many later remembered the era that followed as the long afternoon of an empire where the sun never set Yet the Edwardians knew the country was in a state of flux the seismic change that they felt would transform modern Britain forever In Little Englanders Alwyn Turner reconsiders the Edwardian era as a time of profound social change bringing their history alive through music halls and male beauty contests the 1908 Summer Olympics and the real Peaky Blinders In this colourful detailed and hugely entertaining social history Turner shows that though the golden Victorian age was in the past the birth of modern Britain was only just beginning

Alford triumphs in recreating the historical moment. By immersing himself in Cecils vast archive, he draws the reader deep into his working environment, capturing the closeness of his study and the chaos of the court this is turn-of-century England as it really was dangerous, gritty, on a knife edge.' - The Times 'A compelling portrait of a pivotal, yet often neglected, figure in Elizabethan and Jacobean politics. Alford's account of Robert Cecil and his spy network bristles with narrative energy and succinctly wise judgement.' - Peter Marshall From the acclaimed author of The Watchers, the untold story of Robert Cecil - the ultimate Tudor spy-masterRobert Cecil, statesman and spymaster, lived through an astonishingly threatening period in English history.Queen Elizabeth had no clear successor and enemies both external and internal threatened to destroy England as a Protestant state, most spectacularly with the Spanish Armada and the Gunpowder Plot. Cecil stood at the heart of the Tudor and then Stuart state, a vital figure in managing the succession from Elizabeth I to James I & VI, warding off military and religious threats and steering the decisions of two very different but equally wilful and hard-to-manage monarchs. The promising son of Queen Elizabeths chief minister Lord Burghley, for Cecil there was no choice but politics, and he became supremely skilled in the arts of power, making many rivals and enemies.All His Spies is a wonderfully engaging and original work of history. Many readers are familiar with the great events of this tumultuous time, but All His Spies shows how easily these dramas could have turned out very differently. Cecils sureness of purpose, his espionage network and good luck all conspired to keep England uninvaded and to create a new British monarchy which has endured to the present day.

The early sixties in Britain told as only David Kynaston ('the most entertaining historian alive' Spectator) can. Running from 1962 to 1965, A Northern Wind is the anticipated new volume in the landmark Tales of a New Jerusalem series. 'From Daleks and dingy tower blocks to nuclear threats, this addictively readable book charts dizzying change .. . Sometimes moving, often comic, always fascinating'DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMESHow much can change in two and a half years? In the case of Britain in the Sixties, the answer is: almost everything.From the seismic coming of Liverpool's the Beatles to a sex scandal that rocked the Tory government to the arrival at No 10 of Harold Wilson, a Yorkshireman utterly different from his Old Etonian predecessors. A Northern Wind, the keenly anticipated next instalment of David Kynastons acclaimed Tales of a New Jerusalem series, brings to vivid life the period between October 1962 and February 1965. Drawing upon an unparalleled array of diaries, newspapers and first-hand recollections, Kynastons masterful storytelling refreshes familiar events the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Big Freeze, the assassination of JFK, the funeral of Winston Churchill while revealing in all their variety the experiences of the people living through this history.Major themes complement the compelling narrative: an anti-Establishment mood epitomised by the BBCs controversial That Was The Week That Was; a welfare state only slowly becoming more responsive to the individual needs of its users; and the rise of consumer culture, as Habitat arrived and shopping centres like Birminghams Bull Ring proliferated. Multi-voiced, multi-dimensional and immersive, Tales of a New Jerusalem has transformed how we see and understand post-war Britain. A Northern Wind continues the journey.
