Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico
Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico: Rituals, Religion, and Revenue examines the career of Juan Francisco Güemes y Horcasitas, viceroy of New Spain from 1746 to 1755. It provides the best account yet of how the colonial reform process most commonly known as the Bourbon Reforms did not commence with the arrival of José de Gálvez, the visitador general to New Spain appointed in 1765. Rather, Güemes, ennobled as the conde de Revillagigedo in 1749, pushed through substantial reforms in the late 1740s and early 1750s, most notably the secularization of the doctrinas (turning parishes administering to Natives over to diocesan priests) and the state takeover of the administration of the alcabala tax in ...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Estrategia y Propaganda. Arquitectura militar en el Caribe (1689-1748)
El patrimonio militar construido en el Caribe cuenta con unos notables valores culturales, todavía poco conocidos internacionalmente. Todos estos proyectos, llegaran a construirse o no e independientemente de su estado de conservación, se definen con dos características inseparables: su función defensiva y su valor como elemento de una imagen del poder gobernante. La complejidad de estas propuestas de estrategia y propaganda, han llevado a plantear como objetivo principal de este trabajo demostrar que cada potencia europea planteó un modelo de gestión. Esto fue posible a partir de unos paradigmas teóricos que se definieron mediante la trasferencia técnica el desarrollo urbano de las ...

Brique et architecture dans l'Espagne médiévale
L'architecture est matériau avant que d'être forme. L'histoire traditionnelle de l'architecture tend à faire oublier cette évidence au bénéfice d'une approche dominée par des concepts stylistiques. Or ceux-ci s'avèrent toujours impropres à rendre compte de l'extraordinaire complexité du mouvement créatif qui conduit le génie humain à passer du produit manufacturé de base - ici la brique - à l'œuvre d'art qui constitue l'église, la porte de ville, le château ou la maison médiévale. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment la brique s'est imposée en Espagne comme matériau de construction à la fin de l'époque médiévale, au terme d'un parcours historique au cours d...
