Paperback. Zustand: New. The late 16th century and the first half of the 17th century saw a final resurgence of the concept of Fortuna. Shortly thereafter, this goddess of chance and luck, who had survived for millennia, rapidly lost her cultural and intellectual relevance. This volume explores the late heyday and subsequent erasure of Fortuna. It examines vernacular traditions and confessional differences, analyses how the iconography and semantics of Fortuna motifs transformed, and traces the rise of complementary concepts such as those of probability, risk, fate and contingency. Thus, a multidisciplinary team of contributors sheds light on the surprising ways in which the end of Fortuna intersected with the rise of modernity.…

Zustand: Nuevo. Aunque la "entera noticia" era el lema de las reformas políticas españolas durante el reinado de Felipe II, había quejas sobre la insuficiencia del conocimiento de los territorios americanos. Partiendo de esta contradicción, el presente libro analiza las técnicas de recogida de información y los procedimientos gubernamentales establecidos a partir de ella en las colonias españolas. "Brendecke's Imperio e Infomación is a remarkable book. It shatters many a preconception about the alleged relationship between empiricism, objectivity, and early modern imperial expansions. More importantly, it opens significant new perspectives on the links between knowledge and power. A masterful book that has been deftly and clearly translated into Spanish by Grisela Marsico, in a splendid edition by Iberoamericana-Vervuert" (Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, University of Texas, Austin). 596 p.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. How was Spain able to govern its enormous colonial territories? In 1573 the king decreed that his councilors should acquire "complete knowledge" about the empire they were running from out of Madrid, and he initiated an impressive program for the systematic collection of empirical knowledge. Brendecke shows why this knowledge was created in the first place - but then hardly used. And he looks into the question of what political effects such a policy of knowledge had for Spain's colonial rule.…

Gr.-8°. OPp. 257 S. mit einigen s/w-Abb. Pluralisierung & Autorität; 44. - Quasi neuwertig. - Verlagstext: "In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, objects, texts and people travelled around the world on board Dutch ships. The essays in this book explore how these circulations transformed knowledge in Asian and European societies. They concentrate on epistemic consequences in the fields of historiography, geography, natural history, religion and philosophy, as well as in everyday life. Emphasizing transformations, the volume reconstructs small semantic shifts of knowledge and tentative adjustments to new cultural contexts. It unfolds the often conflict-ridden, complex and largely global history of specific pieces of knowledge as well as of generally-shared contemporary understandings regarding what could or could not be considered true. The book contributes to current debates about how to conceptualize the unsettled epistemologies of the early modern world." ISBN: 9783110370966 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 800.…
