This volume is a collection of texts that result from several debates and workshops held during the development of the project “Literatura, Imagologia e Transnacionalismo” (Literature, Imagology and Transnationalism). This project is carried out within the research activities of the Centro de Literatura Portuguesa (CLP), of the University of Coimbra. Several approaches of literary criticism are presented within a theoretical background of Imagology and literary transnationalism. These essays aim to study cultural clashes and intercultural dialogues in different works by Portuguese authors that present identitarian images of Portuguese and/or of the ‘foreigner’ in his otherness. The intersection of the various representations thus transcends a purely nationalistic perspective. Therefore, this volume has not only a component of literary analysis but also achieves a patrimonial and cultural dimension, since the several essays investigate how interculturality is represented in Portuguese literary works.

Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘community’, ‘family’, ‘institution’, ‘law’, ‘media’, and ‘politics’ among others. The second section is dedicated to case studies of ‘religious practices’ from the perspective of their actors. The third section presents major theoretical discourses that explore the globally significant diversity and multiplicity of religion. Altogether, sixty-one authors from different parts of the world encourage a rethinking of religious practice in an expanded, transcultural, globalized, and postcolonial world.

Kulturgeschichtliche Ansätze zur Erforschung diplomatischer Akteure und Strukturen in der Vormoderne haben aktuell zu Recht Konjunktur. Sie ermöglichen neue thematische Zugänge ebenso wie erhebliche Perspektiverweiterungen. Im Rahmen einer Alltags- und neueren Kulturgeschichte der Diplomatie rückten dabei jüngst lebensweltliche Erfahrungen, mentale Prägungen, soziale und zeremonielle Praktiken diplomatischer Akteure sowie Probleme interkultureller Kommunikation in den Fokus des Forschungsinteresses. Wegweisende Studien folgen hier einem semiotisch-interaktionistischen Kulturverständnis. Dennoch wurden frühneuzeitliche diplomatische Wissenskulturen mit der doppelten Perspektivierung, die ein solcher Zugriff erfordert, einerseits im Hinblick auf kulturelle Prägungen der Akteure und andererseits auf ihre Rolle bei der Wissensproduktion, -transformation und -zirkulation, bislang noch nicht systematisch erforscht. Der vorliegende Band versucht, erste Ansätze und Wege zur Erforschung dieses Problemfeldes aufzuzeigen. Er nähert sich dem Thema anhand von Höfen, Friedenskongressen und Ständeversammlungen (insbesondere Reichstagen) als zentralen Erfahrungsräumen und Orten der Wissensproduktion frühneuzeitlicher Diplomatie.

Este libro publica una serie de estudios transfronterizos argentino-chilenos y articula trabajos conjuntos de investigadores de ambos lados de la cordillera de la Patagonia. El camino recorrido por las investigaciones atraviesa tres ejes: circuitos, relaciones y representaciones de prácticas políticas y económicas; territorios, itinerarios y expresiones materiales; prácticas culturales y sociales en el marco de la interculturalidad. Los textos fueron puestos a consideración de distintos referentes académicos especializados y buscan constituir una conversación provocadora y provechosa. Por otra parte, pretenden consolidar el imaginario de un territorio común en el tiempo y el espacio, a través de la cordillera como eje integrador y no como límite político nacional.
