A Woman’s Agency Reflected in Objects: A Donor Profile of Queen Sancha of Castile y León

January 2017 (has links)
abstract: The Iberian Queen Sancha (r.1037-1065), of the kingdom of León and Castile has received minimal attention from scholars. As the last Leonese heir, Sancha had the sole responsibility of ensuring that imperial traditions of patronage never waned. Her acts of giving and the commissioning of objects have been attributed by (male) scholars as an obligation to legitimize her husband, Fernando I of Castile. Persuasive evidence found in documents suggests that her involvement in donation transactions was predicated on more than formality. My thesis argues that Sancha used the act of giving, the act of commissioning objects, language in documents, and the powerful institution of the infantazgo, to assert an agency identical to her male predecessors to gain political influence. Creating a “donor profile” of Sancha that examines the total of her donating practices enables the exploration of her conscious and unconscious motives for donation. My investigation into these acts supports a new theory that the building construction projects of Sancha and Fernando I began at the beginning of their reign rather than after 1053 as is currently believed. As the first woman to use the titles regine emperatriz and regina totius Hispaniae, Queen Sancha did more than just legitimize her husband, she built a legacy that established a new female center of power in León that endured until the thirteenth century. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Art History 2017

Les saints Matamores en Espagne, au Moyen Âge et au Siècle d'Or (XIIème-XVIIème siècles). Histoire et Représentations.

Linares, Lidwine 22 May 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Les saints matamores sont des saints militaires typiquement hispaniques qui, selon les légendes rapportées dans de nombreuses chroniques et hagiographies, seraient miraculeusement intervenus lors de certaines batailles de la Reconquête pour donner la victoire aux Chrétiens en déroute face aux envahisseurs musulmans. Notre travail de thèse consiste à étudier conjointement ces saints, au nombre de quatre (saint Jacques, apôtre et patron de l'Espagne, saint Emilien de la Cogolla, saint Isidore de Séville et saint Georges) notamment du point de vue de leurs représentations, tant textuelles qu'iconographiques. Il s'agit d'une part d'écrire une histoire de la sainteté militaire espagnole depuis ses origines, pour en dégager les caractéristiques essentielles. D'autre part, le but est de montrer, par le prisme des représentations, que ces saints sont des saints sui generis, ancrés dans un territoire spécifique mais aussi dans une Histoire, et que les espaces et les éléments de contexte historique ont largement influencé le traitement que les auteurs et les artistes leur ont réservé.
