		<title>Juana Ines de la Cruz</title>

The movie begins in 1680 with the arrival of a new Viceroy and his wife as well as the new misogynic Archbishop. The movie opens with the performance of a play Juana [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=boundformexico.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11512150&#38;post=31&#38;subd=boundformexico&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

Visualizing the time period can be difficult, so seeing someone&#8217;s take via film was quite interesting. Mostly due to my upbringing in the 21st century, I can have a biased viewpoint when discussing the women, in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=coffeetalk32.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11560305&#38;post=46&#38;subd=coffeetalk32&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Free thinking women, oh my!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week we explored beatas,  unofficial nuns who were still very religious and devoted to the Catholic church. These nuns were not officially recognized by the church but lived in convents and did about everything an official nun did. The Inquisition was often on the watch for nuns like this for signs of heresy because of the fact [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dhaddock.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11556487&#38;post=24&#38;subd=dhaddock&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello, everyone!  This week we saw a very interesting movie on the lives of nuns in early Latin America.  After discussing, in class, why there were so many nuns in Mexico at that time, it was good seeing a movie to help us understand it better and have a more elaborate way to visualize it.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=utayala10.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11615662&#38;post=22&#38;subd=utayala10&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The nun, the bishop, and the viceroy! OH MY!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though I am not one to readily criticize the Holy Catholic Church, I found the movie we watched in class relatively disturbing, especially with the Church’s treatment toward a nun with intelligence. One might try to point out the bishopric ordering the burning of books as something to find disheartening, but that barely registered. Instead, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ecclesiasticus.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11509440&#38;post=24&#38;subd=ecclesiasticus&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>History 465: Week 15 Post: Beatas, etc.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week we talked some more about the role of religion in defining gender roles in colonial Latin America. The Inquisition case of Marina de San Miguel displayed just how prominent the Church was in daily life, and as such it&#8217;s no surprise that if a woman did not marry, the only other really appetizing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cadams17.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11447823&#38;post=38&#38;subd=cadams17&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The chapters in Gauderman&#8217;s book Women&#8217;s Lives in Colonial Quito on the work that women did in colonial society are fascinating.  Throughout the book Gauderman argues that the notions of patriarchy that many posess don&#8217;t really apply to colonial Spanish American society.  These chapters are especially convincing because she is able to demonstrate how mcuh [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joshyapplecider.wordpress.com&#38;blog=9199002&#38;post=43&#38;subd=joshyapplecider&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Dangers of Independence</title>

Yes.  Do I believe that they were utilized properly?  No.  Dowries where given to women with an idea that they would never get to take advantage of them.  But they absolutely [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dustinfults.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11795115&#38;post=13&#38;subd=dustinfults&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>History 465: Week 14 Post-Inquisition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve found our discussion of the Inquisition the past week to be both enlightening and a little disturbing. To me, what exactly the Inquisition involved has always been somewhat of a mystery, and it was interesting to learn about how this famous event was carried out in Latin America. The Inquisition might have resembled in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cadams17.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11447823&#38;post=36&#38;subd=cadams17&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

That is not to say, by any means, that I found the information put me into a mood of disinterest. Who wouldn’t find something engaging to study when covering the efforts and accusations of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walowick.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11512290&#38;post=19&#38;subd=walowick&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

Within Latin America there were two groups [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=boundformexico.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11512150&#38;post=25&#38;subd=boundformexico&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s no surprise that when any of the European powers conquered others lands that it was done with some religious intentions. Taking territory for the King was important but it was also very important to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dhaddock.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11556487&#38;post=22&#38;subd=dhaddock&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Women had choices. Who knew?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Religiosity in Colonial Latin America held a specific interest for women. Many women, in fact as many as 77% in some areas, preferred to enter Church life rather than get married. This must beg the question why one would choose the Sacrament of Ordination of the Sacrament of Marriage? Several reasons could have forced the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ecclesiasticus.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11509440&#38;post=23&#38;subd=ecclesiasticus&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

Basically, the Inquisition was asking all of these open-ended questions [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=coffeetalk32.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11560305&#38;post=43&#38;subd=coffeetalk32&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

I found it fascinating that witchcraft was actually used as a tool by women [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cadams17.wordpress.com&#38;blog=11447823&#38;post=34&#38;subd=cadams17&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>
