The corregidores were Castilian royal officials who functioned as mayors and superior judges in the provinces, cities, towns, and villages they were sent to oversee. At the head of urban militias they took part in the War of Succession and the Granada War. The corregidores thus had significant dealings with the peasantry, urban masses, the merchants, the nobles, the aristocracy, the officials of the Inquisition. Through its study of their many varied duties, this book offers a panoramic view of Castile during the late medieval and Renaissance eras. Despite their importance, a major study has never before been devoted entirely to their activities during the reign. This study also incorporates a major effort at periodisation of Isabella's reign, the first attempted in modern times. Overall, the book offers a tripartite dissection of the queen's career in power and an assessment of the differing states of the operations of corregidores over her three decades

La experiencia política de la II República española dio lugar a la construcción, por parte de la derecha fascista, tradicionalista y ultracatólica, de una imagen fabulada de la Nación. De acuerdo con tal imagen, la Nación estaría amenazada por una heterogénea gama de agentes invasores y nocivos que asediaban su unidad y su fortaleza. En tales circunstancias, la Nación agredida precisaba, para lograr su completa regeneración, del concurso de aquellos hombres que mejor defendían los más puros valores del espíritu nacional. Pero también un nuevo modelo de mujer regenerada y patriótica jugaría un destacado papel. En los años previos a la Guerra Civil las distintas expresiones de la extrema derecha que convivieron en el seno de la II República procedieron a la redefinición y politización del modelo de feminidad que se había forjado en España a lo largo del siglo XIX. Como dignas hijas de la emblemática Isabel I de Castilla, las «verdaderas mujeres españolas» fueron llamadas a convertirse en las «capitanas» de una Cruzada. La mencionada Cruzada se dirigía, por una parte, a acabar con los enemigos de España, y por otra, a asentar las bases culturales, místicas y políticas sobre las que se llevaría a cabo la definitiva regeneración de la Nación y la raza hispanas. ; The political experience of the Second Spanish Republic led to the construction, on the part of the fascist, traditionalist and ultra catholic right, of a dreamed image of the Nation. In accordance with such an image, the Nation would be threatened by a diverse range of harmful and invading agents that weakened its past unity and strength. In such circumstances, the menaced Nation needed to achieve its complete regeneration, with the help of men who best defended the purest values of the National Spirit. But also a new model of regenerated and patriotic women would play a prominent role in this main purpose. During the immediate previous years to the outbreak of the Civil War, the various kinds of the extreme right that coexisted and expanded their influence in the middle of the political experience of the Second Republic proceeded to the redefinition and politicization of the model of femininity that had been forged in Spain over the nineteenth century. As worthy daughters of emblematic Isabel of Castile, «true Spanish women» were called to become the «captains» of a true Crusade. The above-mentioned Crusade was headed, on the one hand, to put an end to the enemies of Spain, and on the other, to lay the cultural, political and mystical foundations that would make possible the final regeneration of the Spanish Nation and the Hispanic Race.

"This book examines the deep and lengthy crisis of legitimacy triggered by the death of Prince Juan of Castile and Aragon in 1497 and the subsequent ascent of Juana I to the throne in 1504. Confined by historiography and myth to the madwoman's attic, Juana emerges here as a key figure at the heart of a period of tremendous upheaval, reaching its peak in the war of the Comunidades, or comunero uprising of 1520–1522. Gillian Fleming traces the conflicts generated by the ambitions of Juana's father, husband and son, and the controversial marginalisation and imprisonment of Isabel of Castile's legitimate heir. Analysing Juana's problems and strategies, failures and successes, Fleming argues that the period cannot be properly understood without taking into account the long shadow that Juana I cast over her kingdoms and over a crucial period of transition for Spain and Europe." --

The relationship of King Pedro I (1350-1369) with the military orders allow us to study the transformation that took place in the nature of those institutions and that we call «secularization». Factors such as the decline of the Islamic offensive, the climate of civil war in Castile and its connec-tion with external conflicts such as the «War of the Two Peters» (Guerra de los Dos Pedros) between Castile and Aragón, and, indirectly, the Hundred Years War, played a role in this process. Starting from this reality, we will review this relationship following a conventional division of the reign: the initial years of internal conflict (1350-1356), the years of the intermittent Guerra de los Dos Pedros (1356-1365); and finally the years of the civil war itself (1366-1369). ; Las relaciones del rey Pedro I (1350-1369) con las órdenes militares nos permiten estudiar el proceso de transformación que se produce en la naturaleza de aquellas instituciones y que conocemos con el nombre de «secularización». En dicho proceso intervienen factores como el cese de la ofensiva islámica, el clima de guerra civil en Castilla y su imbricación en conflictos exteriores como la Guerra de los Dos Pedros entre Castilla y Aragón, e, indirectamente, la Guerra de los Cien Años. Partiendo de esta realidad, vamos a repasar esas relaciones siguiendo una división convencional del reinado: los años iniciales de conflicto interno (1350-1356), los años de la intermitente Guerra de los Dos Pedros (1356-1365); y, finalmente, los años de la guerra civil propiamente dicha (1366-1369).

Kristie Miller's interesting biography examines the life and legacies of Isabella Greenway, the "first of a number of remarkable women in Arizona politics" (p. xv) and the founder of the acclaimed Arizona Inn. The daughter of rancher Tilden Selmes and Martha (Patty) Flandrau, Isabella was born in the Dakota Badlands in March 1886. The Selmeses befriended a grieving Theodore Roosevelt, who had fled west following the deaths of his mother and wife in 1884. According to Miller, Isabella's beginnings in the Dakotas and her family's fortuitous relationship with Roosevelt "determined the course of her life" (p. 3).

The problem of legitimacy of Francoism, a regime emerged from the guns and not ballots, is on the basis of their partisan manipulation of the person and the reign of Isabella the Catholic. Examined the relationship between power and femininity, there is every reason to understand why uses precisely this historical character, how and where it manipulates. This last aspect is studied through a threefold viewpoint: the official discourse, historiography and school indoctrination. From all this follows, in my view, the interpretative distortion of the reign and the rough manipulation of Isabella I, unilaterally assigned to the winning side. This is a misappropriation issued of double motivation: an exemplary effort in order to inoculate certain values among the public and, more specifically, in the female group; and a purpose of political legitimacy, forgetting the military uprising and displaying the mythified Catholic Queen as the link between that glorious Spain and Franco's New State. ; El problema de legitimidad que arrastra el franquismo, un régimen surgido de las armas y no de las urnas, se encuentra en la base de su instrumentalización partidista de la figura y reinado de Isabel la Católica. Examinadas las relaciones entre poder y femineidad, sobran razones para entender por qué recurre precisamente a este personaje histórico, cómo y dónde lo manipula (estudiado a través de la vertiente oficial, la producción historiográfica y el adoctrinamiento escolar). De todo ello se deriva, a mi juicio, la distorsión interpretativa del reinado y la burda manipulación de Isabel I, adscrita de forma unilateral al bando vencedor. Se trata de una apropiación indebida fruto de una doble motivación: un afán ejemplarizante, en aras a inocular determinados valores entre la ciudadanía y, más en concreto, en el colectivo femenino; y un propósito de legitimación política, olvidándose del levantamiento militar y presentando a la mitificada reina católica como el nexo de unión entre aquella España gloriosa y el Nuevo Estado de Franco.

Atmosphere, as theorized by Gernot Böhme (1993), has both mental and physical connotations, connecting people and places in mutually constitutive and transformative relations. Investigated from the aspect of emotional geography's concern with the spatiality of emotions (Davidson et al. 2007), the atmosphere of places and spaces may be inextricably linked to bodily experience, affect, and affective human relationships, and may play a vital part in one's sense of belonging and self. With a specific focus on these interconnections, my paper offers a close reading of Isabella Hammad's debut novel, The Parisian or Al-Barisi: A Novel (2019), mapping the protagonist, Midhat Kamal's emotional geographies through his physical journey from Nablus to Montpellier, Paris, and back, as well as his concomitant journey of the self from immigrant to flâneur, tourist to "the Parisian." I shall argue that the protagonist's bodily and lived experience and the atmosphere of the places/spaces he inhabits greatly determine his affective relationships, as well as his sense of home, belonging, and self, contributing to his identity (re-)construction as a transnational subject and creating the emotional geographies of his life.
