Dystopias of Infamy - Insult and Collective Identity in Early Modern Spain

Informationen zum Autor JAVIER IRIGOYEN-GARCÍA is a professor of Spanish at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the author of The Spanish Arcadia: Sheep Herding, Pastoral Discourse, and Ethnicity in Early Modern Spain and "Moors Dressed as Moors": Clothing, Social Distinction, and Ethnicity in Early Modern Iberia. Klappentext Drawing on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century religious, political, and literary texts, including the works of Cervantes, Dystopias of Infamy reconsiders how insults and infamy were imagined as potential sites of resistance to subjectification in early modern Spain. Zusammenfassung In this innovative study, Irigoyen-Garcia examines how the discourse and practices of insult and infamy shaped the cultural imagination, anxieties, and fantasies of early modern Spain. The book traces how the production of insults haunts the imaginary of power, provoking latent anxieties about resistance to subjectification.
