Naturelle cree en el amor incondicional, pero los hombres que han ido pasando por su vida solo se han limitado a cumplir su rol de macho y poco más. Forastera, casi treintañera y soltera, reside durante un sereno invierno en Ciutadella intentando comprender quién es ahora ella... al no pertenecer a nadie o a ningún sitio. Menorca, Málaga e Irlanda la llevan a confiar en lo impredecible, a pesar que su horizonte se enturbie con el desánimo y el temor.

La muestra está dedicada a analizar el tema del ojo en la historia del arte occidental, desde la prehistoria hasta nuestros días y presenta más de 200 obras (objetos de culto, orfebrería, pintura, escultura, videoinstalaciones, etc.), procedentes de diversos museos de todo el mundo. En ellas se manifiesta el ojo como órgano de la visión, que constituye el receptáculo de imágenes del mundo exterior, pero también como sentido interior, "ojo del alma", capaz de descodificar y traducir visiones e imágenes procedentes de la memoria o la imaginación.

This collection of historical studies deals with the multiple connections between the history and culture of the Jews of the Netherlands from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the period after the Holocaust, and phenomena and processes that distinguish the history of the Jewish people in the modern period. The Jews of the Netherlands were not only nourished by the cultural creativity of the great Sephardi and Ashkenazi centers, East and West, but also at various stages they served as a source of inspiration for Jews elsewhere in the Jewish Diaspora. The articles of this volume examin the influence of general Jewish history on that of the Jews of the Netherlands and focus on events and processes that highlight the significance of of Dutch Jewry for modern Jewish culture.

By recovering the inner life of the Portuguese trade diaspora (1492-1640), this book explores the relations between mobility and community; domestic sociability and trade expansion; commercial experience and early capitalist ideology; and cultural hybridity, transnationalism, and the Spanish empire.

The constraints of the ghetto and the concomitant interaction of various Jewish traditions produced a remarkable cultural flowering.

Jews and Judaism played a significant role in the history of the expansion of Europe to the west as well as in the history of the economic, social, and religious development of the New World. They played an important role in the discovery, colonization, and eventually exploitation of the resources of the New World. Alone among the European peoples who came to the Americas in the colonial period, Jews were dispersed throughout the hemisphere; indeed, they were the only cohesive European ethnic or religious group that lived under both Catholic and Protestant regimes, which makes their study particularly fruitful from a comparative perspective. As distinguished from other religious or ethnic minorities, the Jewish struggle was not only against an overpowering and fierce nature but also against the political regimes that ruled over the various colonies of the Americas and often looked unfavorably upon the establishment and tleration of Jewish communities in their own territory. Jews managed to survive and occasionally to flourish against all odds, and their history in the Americas is one of the more fascinating chapters in the early modern history of European expansion.
