Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681) is generally acknowledged to be the master author of autos sacramentales, one-act pageant plays that usually dramatize the myths of the Fall and Redemption. Since the auto was supervised by both the church and the state, it is typically held to be an art form that serves theology and the dominant powers of the time. Basing her examination of Calderon's autos on modern theories of allegory, Viviana Diaz Balsera focuses on the seductive power of the dramatic, visible level of the allegorical auto and questions the widely held assumption that Calderon's autos harmonize the dramatic and religious discourses that constitute them. In her readings of Los encantos de la Culpa, Eljardin de Falerina, La nave del Mercador, La vida es sueflo, and Lo que va del Hombre a Dios, she instead finds a disjunction between the literal, poetic level and the religious, theological meaning. With its splendid scenes, poetic fables, and elaborate music, the auto ironically has the potential to reproduce the seductive function it frequently attributes to the Devil and/or the forces of evil. Rather than the dogmatic champion of the Catholic Church, the auto emerges as conflictive, ambivalent, and moving, participating in the very dangers of sensual pleasures it seeks to warn against.

Reinterpreting Florida’s mission sites as places where Indigenous peoples and missionaries negotiated power, culture, and survivalThis book approaches Florida’s early Spanish missions as dynamic, multiethnic spaces where Indigenous actors resisted as well as negotiated the transformation of their world into challenging spaces of globalization. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, La Florida Missions brings together scholars from anthropology, archaeology, cultural studies, ethnohistory, linguistics, literature, and religious studies. The contributors to the volume move beyond earlier paradigms that envision the missions only as sites of cultural loss, oppression, and destruction.La Florida Missions opens with the 1565 attempts of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés to negotiate with the Calusa, followed by essays on missions to the Mocama, Guale, Timucua, and Apalachee peoples into the eighteenth century, highlighting Franciscan and Indigenous perspectives. The book closes with the experiences of present-day Apalachee descendants in Louisiana, who continue to fight for recognition of their tribal identity. La Florida Missions helps show how Native peoples resisted and outlasted the European invasion of southeastern North America by continually adjusting to the unpredictable forces around them.
