  • The Royal Hunt of the Sun Free
    FREE THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN PDF Peter Shaffer | 112 pages | 25 Jan 2007 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141188881 | English | London, United Kingdom The Royal Hunt Of The Sun @ National Theatre, London | Theatre | musicOMH A lavish telling of the story of Spanish General Francisco Pizarro and his capture of the Inca God-King Atahuallpa, it still feels ambitious and different. And though stylistically it occasionally shows its age, its The Royal Hunt of the Sun scenes have a timeless capacity to engage and move. Director Trevor Nunn makes full use of the large Olivier auditorium; scenes interlace, actors fill every inch of the stage — and occasionally the aisles — and music and mime play a large part in the proceedings. The techniques of physical theatre are now fairly commonplace, but in a more evolved form than what we see here. The early scenes are incredibly overloaded; the musical accompaniment — all panpipes and birdcalls — distracts from, rather than compliments, onstage events, and the massacre scene when it comes, with its strobe lighting, slow-motion mime and use of a billowing red cloth to symbolise bloodshed, feels rather dated and more than a little naff. Things are pared down in the second half, to better effect. Concentrating on the building friendship The Royal Hunt of the Sun Pizarro and the captive Atahuallpa, the play ceases to bombard the audience and allows an intriguing and ultimately moving relationship to form between the two characters. The scenes of the two men discussing each others beliefs and cultures, initially with incredulity, then with growing understanding, are the plays most gripping.

He and conquistadors, Hern6n Cortes and Francisco Pizarro, were vastly outnumbered by the native population, yet their small armies subdued millions of subjects in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Peru. Whereas, Columbus conquered the Arawaks in the 1490s, Cortds conquered the Aztecs in the I520s, and Pizano conquered the Incas in the 1530s. In the latter case, just before the Spanish arrived, the strong, united Inca Empire was divided into a bloody civil war. The weakened state of the empire helped Pizarro gain control. Pizarro did this by manipulating existing conditions, and using the knowledge he had of Hernan Cort6s and his conquest of the Aztecs. The tensions within the empire and Pizarro's manipulations were not the only reasons for Pizarro's success. Other factors, such as Spanish superiority in weaponry and tactics of warfare, Spanish diseases that weakened the Indians, Spanish alliances with the native population, and the use of horses, all contributed to Spanish success. Yet, Francisco Pizarro's manipulations of the rifts that the civil war caused within the Inca Empire, and his employment of the methods he had learned from Hernan Cortds, in his conquest of Mexico, provided the greatest aid to the Spanish during their conquest of Peru.

  • Les Dominicains Et Les Indiens
    1 Gaëlle DEMELEMESTRE Les Dominicains et les Indiens Résumé : La conquête du Nouveau Monde a très rapidement suscité dans l’Espagne du XVIe siècle de violents débats, centrés autour de deux interrogations majeures portant sur le droit des Espagnols à la conquête et à la domination des Indes et sur leur droit à réduire les Indiens à l’esclavage. Pour y répondre, les théologiens et juristes espagnols de l’ordre de saint Dominique ont procédé à deux grandes innovations, que le présent article entreprend de développer. La première a été d’appuyer et de conforter leur raisonnement juridique en se fondant sur des considérations anthropologiques, ce qui les a conduits à dégager des droits humains inaliénables. La seconde a été d’envisager que le contexte social avait un impact sur le développement des facultés rationnelles, pouvant expliquer l’étrangeté des mœurs indiennes. Abstract : The conquest of the New World prompted very violent debates in Spain in the sixteenth century, centered on two major questions concerning the right of the Spaniards to the conquest and domination of the Indies and their right to reduce Indians to slavery. To answer these questions, the Spanish theologians and jurists of the order of Saint Dominic have made two great innovations, which this article undertakes to develop. eTh first was to support and reinforce their legal reasoning on the basis of anthropological considerations, which led them to release inalienable human rights. The second was to consider that the social context could have an impact on the development of rational faculties, which can explain the strangeness of Indian manners.
