MATRIMONIO: UN RITUAL QUE DESINFLA EL DESEO. Freud dice que un heroe es quien se ha levantado valientemente contra su padre, terminando por vencerlo. Y por eso Don Juan, que lo era, nunca se sometio al humillante ritual del matrimonio y nunca se puso el anillo funesto en el dedo. Él, con viril arrogancia, rechazo siempre la circuncision. Don Juan, vivio intrepidamente, fue un alegre gustador de mujeres, irradio su vitalidad y buen humor, y culmino su vida... ¡con la espada invicta y con la pija intacta! Fue el heroe tragico sin parangon. INDICE. El burlador de España. Promiscuidad. Echando piropos. Una valiente espada. El conquistador. Un hidalgo español. El uno y el otro. El pornoshow. Elogio de la libertad. Final heroico. // Tercer libro de la trilogia "Don Juan" y que se incluye ademas como la tercera parte de "Don Juan. Psicoanalisis del matrimonio" // Mas en www.arielarango.com

The present boom in popular history is not unprecedented. The contributions to this volume investigate peaks of historical interest which favour popular approaches from around 1800 to the present. They analyse the media, genres and institutions through which historical knowledge has been disseminated - from artefacts to the archive, from poetry to photography, from music to murals, and from periodicals to popular TV series. They ask how major traditions in the popular imagery of the past have evolved and changed over time. Cultural contexts covered in the book include Western and Southern Europe, the United States and West Africa. Contributors come from a range of disciplines, including history, literary and cultural studies, musicology as well as social and cultural anthropology.

Providing a novel research methodology for students and scholars with an interest in dynasties, at all levels, this book explores the Spanish Habsburg dynasty that ruled the Spanish monarchy between c. 1515 and 1700. Instead of focusing on the reigns of successive kings, the book focuses on the Habsburgs as a family group that was constructed in various ways: as a community of heirs, a genealogical narrative, a community of the dead and a ruling family group. These constructions reflect the fact that dynasties do not only exist in the present, as kings, queens or governors, but also in the past, in genealogies, and in the future, as a group of hypothetical heirs. This book analyses how dynasties were ‘made’ by the people belonging to them. It uses a social institutionalist framework to analyse how family dynamics gave rise to practices and roles. The kings of Spain only had limited power to control the construction of their dynasty, since births and deaths, processes of dynastic centralisation, pressure from subjects, relatives’ individual agency, rivalry among relatives and the institutionalisation of roles limited their power. Including several genealogical tables to support students new to the Spanish Habsburgs, this book is essential reading for all students of early modern Europe and the history of monarchy.
