LOS STRATA, MARQUESES DE ROBLEDO DE CHAVELA Paula Alfonso Santorio Dra. en Historia Resumen: Cualquier trabajo que tenga como base aspectos económicos o financieros de la España del siglo XVII, particularmente en su primera mitad, presenta a Carlos Strata como una de las figuras protagonistas. No obstante, mientras que sobre sus negocios o sus contribuciones a la corona se conoce casi todo, apenas se ha dicho nada de las generaciones que le sucedieron. En las páginas que siguen se presenta una reconstrucción de la historia de esta familia, que, en poco más de un siglo (1640-1760), pasó de la abundancia a “la más extrema necesidad”, de residir en Madrid, centro neurálgico de poder e influencia, a la periferia. Su trayectoria, marcada por un claro declive, muestra las estrategias que cada generación, según sus propias circunstancias, utilizó para, si no invertir, frenar al menos dicha tendencia, tratando de evitar lo que a finalmente ocurrió: la subasta en pública almoneda de su título, señorío y enterramiento, esos mismos atributos que en su día determinaron su acceso a la cúpula social. Palabras clave: genoveses, nobleza, familias, declive social, estrategias. FROM GENOESE ASENTISTAS TO IMPOVERISHED NOBLES. STRATA, MARQUISES OF ROBLEDO DE CHAVELA Abstract: Any work dealing with economic or financial aspects relative to the XVII century in Spain, particularly regarding its first-half, presents to Carlos Strata as one of the most representative figures. Whereas almost everything is known about his business or his contributions to the crown, very little has been said on his sequent generations. This paper presents a reconstruction of his family’s history, which in somewhat more than one century (1640-1760) passed form the abundance to the “most extreme need”, form living in Madrid, the centre of power and influence, to the periphery. The trajectory of this family, exhibiting a clear decline, shows the strategies that each generation, according to their own circumstances, developed in order to, if not reverse, at least slow down that trend, trying to avoid what finally occurred: the public auction of the titles, lordship and burial, those attributes that in the past determined their access to the social leadership Key words: Genoeses, nobility, family, social decline, strategies. 5 6 | Historia y Genealogía Nº3 (2013) ISSN 2173-6030 | Historia y Genealogía Nº3 (2013) | DE ASENTISTAS GENOVESES A NOBLES EMPOBRECIDOS. LOS STRATA, MARQUESES DE ROBLEDO DE CHAVELA Paula Alfonso Santorio Dra. en Historia Con el objetivo principal de distraer al rey1, en febrero de 1637 el conde-duque de Olivares orga- nizó unos festejos en el complejo palaciego del Retiro que supusieron todo un derroche de medios y de dinero2. Pues bien, el lugar que el ministro eligió para inaugurar oficialmente aquellas jornadas, la casa donde el monarca sería ataviado y de la que saldría con toda su corte hacia la mascarada, no pertenecía a una de las familias de la alta y consolidada nobleza, como cabría esperar, sino a casi un advenedizo, don Carlos Strata, quien no dudó en corresponder a tal “honra”3 volcándose con sus mejores galas “Tantas tapicerías de oro y seda, tan ricos doseles, tan diversos aparadores de preciosas vajillas de plata, el balcón de la Cámara de su majestad dorado boleado de celosías y cristalinas vi- drieras que descubría toda la calle. En las galerías había pinturas y bufetes preciosísimos. El cuarto del condeduque, con advertida desigualdad y diferencia, ricamente adornado; opulentas mesas de dulces de Portugal, Génova, Çaragoça y Valencia”4. Fue tal la magnificencia que derrochó en aquella jornada que el prólogo de una de las obras encar- gadas de describir con detalle los festejos estuvo dedicado a alabar las virtudes y excelencias de su esposa, RECIBIDO: 06/11/2012.

  • Matsuo ■ Basho
    ; : TWAYNE'S WORLD AUTHORS SERIES A SURVEY OF THE WORLD'S LITERATURE ! MATSUO ■ BASHO MAKOTO UEDA JAPAN MATSUO BASHO by MAKOTO UEDA The particular value of this study of Matsuo Basho is obvious: this is the first book in English that gives a comprehen­ sive view of the famed Japanese poet’s works. Since the Japanese haiku was en­ thusiastically received by the Imagists early in this century, Basho has gained a world-wide recognition as the foremost writer in that miniature verse form; he is now regarded as a poet of the highest cali­ ber in world literature. Yet there has been no extensive study of Basho in Eng­ lish, and consequently he has remained a rather remote, mystical figure in the minds of those who do not read Japanese. This book examines Basho not only as a haiku poet but as a critic, essayist and linked-verse writer; it brings to light the whole range of his literary achievements that have been unknown to most readers in the West. * . 0S2 VS m £ ■ ■y.

  • Explaining Ukiyo-E
    + EXPLAINING UKIYO-E DAVID BELL A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand November 2002 2 ABSTRACT The term ukiyo-e refers to a distinctive phenomenon in Japanese art. Ukiyo-e can be defined temporally, geographically and socially; most importantly, it developed its own distinctive stylistic character. Most studies of ukiyo-e have been founded on a descriptive mode: they have sought to identify its principal characteristics, and to describe the different projects of its various schools and artists. Recent research has shifted into a more explanatory mode, locating explanations of ukiyo-e‟s distinctive pictorial character in descriptions of the socio-cultural context to which it pertained. This project seeks to establish richer explanations for the pictorial character of ukiyo-e. It argues that appropriate explanations may be found through a critical appraisal of the conditions which constrained and stimulated the enterprises of ukiyo-e artists. It finds these conditions to be manifest in the conceptual foundations that informed its artists; in the ways artists learned the knowledge and skills of their craft; in the sorts of function ukiyo-e pictures were required to perform; and in two conditions of the artists‟ medium: pictorial devices or conventions and the spatial constraints of their media, and the material conditions with which they worked. No matter how closely works of ukiyo-e artists conformed to the pictorial character common to the school as a whole, each individual also followed an independent pathway. The final chapter acknowledges the ways individual artists were disposed to work differently within the auspices of the broader enterprise.

  • STR Hit Dice: 1D8 Maximum Level: None Bushi Are Common Warriors Without Obligations to Feudal Lords, Temples, Or Monasteries
    BUSHI Requirements: STR 8 Prime Requisite: STR Hit Dice: 1d8 Maximum Level: None Bushi are common warriors without obligations to feudal lords, temples, or monasteries. They are often wandering mer- cenaries, earning a living by any means possible. They are not above brigandage when times are rough. Bushi are not restricted from any weapons or armor. Special Abilities Nimbleness: Bushi are often poor and have learned to survive with little armor protection. In addition to a DEX bonus to their Armor Class, a Bushi receives a drop of 1 level in AC for every 3 levels of experience starting at 3rd level. Scrounging: Being poor, the Bushi has become a master at finding needed equipment. A Bushi can find “free” adventur- ing equipment on a successful d20 roll in any village, castle town, or city. Cut Purse: In addition to scrounging, Bushi have learned to cut the strings of purses in order to gain a few coins. To determine success roll d100 and compare to the % chance to succeed based on the Bushi’s level, any roll of 95 or greater results in the victim noticing the attempt. Fierce Shout: When entering combat with a fierce shout, they temporarily (the duration is the length of the combat) gain 2d8 hit points (all damage is taken from this temporary pool first), and a +2 to hit and damage. This ability can be used once per day. Establish Stronghold: At 9th level, a Bushi can clear an area of land and claim it as his own (becoming a Daimyo). Once he builds a castle, he will attract a body of fellow Bushi to serve him, and even a small cadre of Samurai will arrive to serve the new warlord.
