Book Description
Hasta muy recientemente, la teoría general de la secularización --originada en Europa a finales del siglo XVIII-- ha proyectado la imagen de un progreso inevitable sustentado en una concepción finalista de la evolución de las sociedades que conducía, inexorablemente, de lo sagrado a lo secular. Se creía que cuanto más moderna fuera una sociedad más secular tenía que ser y, por ello, también menos religiosa. Sin embargo, los trabajos que presentamos en este libro exponen que lo que la realidad exhibe es un proceso que avanza entre lo sagrado y lo secular, siempre que estas categorías se consideren en constante tensión dinámica. No vivimos en un mundo donde quepa hacer tabula rasa de la vieja distinción trascendencia/inmanencia, como ingenuamente se pensó en una primera oleada secularizadora que consideraba a la sociedad moderna asentada de forma irreversible en la pura inmanencia de un mundo secular. Con el fin de ofrecer indicadores sociológicos de esta reorientación conceptual se analizan los conceptos de «modernidad», «progreso», «diferenciación funcional» y «aceleración social», así como los nuevos estilos de vida, las prácticas de consumo, las «nuevas» identidades narrativas y sus portadores sociales. Por último, analizamos el conjunto de metamorfosis que experimenta la violencia, así como la emergencia de nuevos miedos colectivos.

Book Description
Brilliant, inspired, and gloriously erudite, Literature and the Gods is the culmination of Roberto Calasso’s lifelong study of the gods in the human imagination. By uncovering the divine whisper that lies behind the best poetry and prose from across the centuries, Calasso gives us a renewed sense of the mystery and enchantment of great literature. From the banishment of the classical divinities during the Age of Reason to their emancipation by the Romantics and their place in the literature of our own time, the history of the gods can also be read as a ciphered and splendid history of literary inspiration. Rewriting that story, Calasso carves out a sacred space for literature where the presence of the gods is discernible. His inquiry into the nature of “absolute literature” transports us to the realms of Dionysus and Orpheus, Baudelaire and Mallarmé, and prompts a lucid and impassioned defense of poetic form, even when apparently severed from any social function. Lyrical and assured, Literature and the Gods is an intensely engaging work of literary affirmation that deserves to be read alongside the masterpieces it celebrates.

Book Description
This book is an extraordinarily rich account of the social, political, cultural, and religious relationships between parish priests and their parishioners in colonial Mexico. It thus explores a wide range of issues, from competing interpretations of religious dogma and beliefs, to questions of practical ethics and daily behavior, to the texture of social and authority relations in rural communities, to how all these things changed over time and over place, and in relation to reforms instigated by the state.
