#Opinion Most people in the West know nothing about China, its history, development, society or ways of thinking. And there is a strong correlation between knowing nothing and/or never having visited China and having a negative attitude toward the country. https://t.co/zD8qMw4RhN

“If Don Quixote found himself in the 21st century, he’d immediately embark on a mad, chivalrous crusade to save his planet from the Hydra-headed corporate colossus of capitalism,” the artist Eric Drooker says. https://t.co/0LTlf3hBrQ

Thanks to her performance in the restoration and defense of the Catholic faith in the Spanish Netherlands and her political role as governor, the figure of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia as a female model of Christianity, became part of an iconography of authority and power that the House of Habsburgs knew how to take advantage of and mobilize through its various courts. The goal of this presentation is to offer a sample of how this iconography took place in Ghent in 1623 through the analysis of the anonymous account that appeared in Louvain in 1624, entitled Espejo Espiritual para que las Damas de Palacio se miren en él. Hecho a honra del Glorioso Padre S. Joseph, guarda mayor de las Damas. This presentation aims to highlight the feminine micro-cosmos of authority and power that took place in Ghent that combined the use of arts and technology to establish its validation.

This event is sponsored by the The Eric Voegelln Institute, The Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures, The Program In Comparative Literature and The College of Humanities and Social Sciences Strategic Excellence Fund.

Professor Frederick A. de Armas is the Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Service Professor in the Humanities, Spanish Literature, and Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago.

He is a literary scholar, critic, and novelist whose scholarly work focuses on the literature of the Spanish Golden Age (Cervantes, Calderón, Claramonte, and Lope de Vega), often from a comparative perspective. His interests include the politics of astrology; magic and the Hermetic tradition; ekphrasis; the relations between the verbal and the visual particularly between Spanish literature and Italian art; and the interconnections between myth and empire during the rule of the Habsburgs.

Professor Frederick A. De Armas also writes fiction, and he visited the LSU campus on November 17, 2018, to direct a writing workshop in Spanish on his first long novel El Abra del Yumuri, which addresses the social and racial diversity of La Habana. This novel, which is part of a trilogy, represents De Armas’s effort to research and write on the cultural and literary productions of Cuba before and after the Castro revolution.
