Jarbel Rodriguez, "Authority and Spectacle in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: Essays in Honor of Teofilo F. Ruiz"
English | ISBN: 0367880490 | 2019 | 254 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Bringing together distinguished scholars in honor of Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, this volumepresents original and innovative research on the critical and uneasy relationship between authority and spectacle in the period from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, focusing on Spain, the Mediterranean and Latin America.

Cultural scholars such as Professor Ruiz and his colleagues have challenged the notion that authority is elided with high politics, an approach that tends to be monolithic and disregards the uneven application and experience of power by elite and non-elite groups in society by highlighting the significance of spectacle. Taking such forms as ceremonies, rituals, festivals, and customs, spectacle is a medium to project and render visible power, yet it is also an ambiguous and contested setting, where participants exercise the roles of both actor and audience. Chapters in this collection consider topics such as monarchy, wealth and poverty, medieval cuisine and diet and textual and visual sources.
