1	Missionaries' Beasts in New Spain: The Utilization of the European Bestiary Tradition in Sahagún's Florentine Codex / Utilization of the European Bestiary Tradition in Sahagún's Florentine Codex Kilian, Laura Elizabeth 09 1900 (has links) ix, 115 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / Friar Bernardino de Sahagún's Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva Espana, more commonly known as the Florentine Codex, begun in 1558, is arguably the most comprehensive source of information concerning the pre-colonial and colonial indigenous cultures of New Spain. This compilation, produced both by Sahagún and indigenous aides, documents the convergence of Aztec and European cultures. As such it represents the hybrid nature of colonial culture and is best approached from an understanding of both its European and Aztec influences. It is the aim of this thesis to consider the Florentine Codex, and Book Eleven ("Earthly Things") specifically, in the context of the European bestiary tradition. This thesis will illuminate Sahagún's role as a Franciscan missionary and the ways in which he utilized Aztec animal imagery syncretically, for the purpose of evangelization. Analysis takes the form of case studies concerning the jaguar, birds, and serpents. / Committee in Charge: Dr. James Harper, Chair; Dr. Lauren Kilroy; Dr. Robert Haskett Codice florentino Florentine codex
2	Budování pověsti Španělska v zahraničí / Building the Image of Spain Abroad Ďurišová, Tereza January 2013 (has links) Recently, Spain has been paying particular attention to its presentation abroad and national image, taking into consideration the conceptual as well as financial and personnel point of view. The thesis analyses three different components that form the national image - cultural diplomacy, public diplomacy and nation branding - and puts them into the Spanish context. Furthermore, it identifies the main actors in these areas of Spain's foreign policy and examines their working methods. The thesis also presents the national project Marca Espana (Brand Spain) with both its benefits and weak points. In addition, it evaluates the overall Spanish approach to the formation of its national reputation and suggests possible future improvements.
3	Veřejná diplomacie Španělska v České republice / Spanish Public Diplomacy in the Czech Republic Šebelová, Markéta January 2014 (has links) The aim of this thesis is to introduce the elements and tools of public diplomacy of Spain in the Czech Republic. For this purpose, the text represents actors, which are involved in building the reputation of Spain, and government concept Marca Espana, which substantially affects a strategy presentation abroad. The thesis will focus attention not only on specific projects that Spain presents, but also monitors the use of new technologies when communicating with the Czech public. The compiled topic is founded on the study of scientific literature dealing with public diplomacy, and the subsequent application of a particular case. This thesis also examines how cooperation works between the various governmental departments in Madrid and among actors in the Czech Republic. Based on this analysis, the author concludes that the Spanish public diplomacy activities in the Czech Republic primarily have a cultural character and are presented through new media, which proves that the Spanish agenda is able to adapt flexibly to new trends in diplomacy. The main contribution of this thesis is a comprehensive presentation of all the actors of the Spanish public diplomacy and its activities, that are still deficient in wider attention in the Czech Republic.
