BUENOS Y MALOS EN "AMAR DESPUÉS DE LA MUERTE" DE PEDRO CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA Un nuevo enfoque sobre el conflicto
Full text linkThe aim of this work is identifying new implications and prerogatives in the characters and
scenes of Amar después de la muerte in order to question the widely accepted pro-Moor attitude of Pedro
Calderón de la Barca. A comparative approach with another comedia by the same author has been adopted.
La niña de Gómez Arias is located in the same geographic area, the Alpujarras, in a historical period
characterized by conflicts between Christians and Muslims as well. First, the specific historical context of
the action of the two works is introduced; secondly, the analysis of the Arabic elements and the Christian
and morisco characters in Amar después de la muerte is carried out. Lately, a new hypothesis about the
dramatist’s posture in relation the morisco’ cause is introduced. Extra-literary factors which may have
affected the choice of the set and the themes of Amar después de la muerte have been investigated as well

'To Save Them from the Dangers to their Faith’: Documenting Student Life at Catholic Women's Colleges
No full textThis article focuses on student life at Catholic women's colleges in the United States during the 20th century. These colleges helped acculturate many daughters of immigrants to middle-class American society, at the same time creating a specifically female and Catholic culture on college campuses. This evolving culture, which was characterized by the ideals of femininity, religion, and service, can be reconstructed through documentation from the college archives.Peer reviewe
‘A Well-Balanced Education’: Catholic Women’s Colleges in New Jersey, 1900-1970
No full textBy examining Catholic women's colleges in New Jersey during the period 1900-1970, this paper illustrates the complexity of developing a typology of Catholic women's colleges in the United States. The first Catholic women's college in New Jersey, College of Saint Elizabeth was established in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity; followed by Mount St. Mary's, later known as Georgian Court College, in 1908; Caldwell College in 1939; and Felician, originally a junior college, in 1967. Earlier typologies of Catholic women's colleges have divided them into elite liberal arts institutions and local, vocationally-oriented colleges which served the working and lower-middle-class daughters of immigrants. Using college catalogs and yearbooks from the four New Jersey colleges, this study compiles data on curriculum, the education of faculty, college costs, and student origins, and compares it to similar data from two elite colleges, Trinity in Washington, D.C. and Manhattanville in Purchase, New York. In spite of some pressure to offer vocational courses and the challenge of giving women religious faculty members the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees, during this period New Jersey's Catholic women's colleges provided a Catholic liberal arts education for white middle-class women not unlike that offered at better known and more prestigious colleges. Only after 1970 did social and demographic changes begin to have an impact on the curriculum and student population of this sector of Catholic higher education.Peer reviewe
Gone and Forgotten? New Jersey's Catholic Junior Colleges
No full textIn the late 1960s, New Jersey had eleven seemingly-thriving Catholic junior colleges; by the mid-1970s, all but one of these colleges had closed. This article analyzes why these institutions appeared and disappeared so quickly, and explores what contribution they made to Catholic higher education. While private junior colleges declined throughout the U.S. during this period, in some respects the situation of New Jersey was unique. Research suggests that the greatest contribution these short-lived institutions made was to the education of women religious.Peer reviewe
Vanished Worlds: Searching for the Records of Closed Catholic Women’s Colleges
No full textThis article presents the results of a survey of the archives of 36 Roman Catholic women's colleges that have closed or merged with other institutions since 1967. The majority of these archives are held by the women's religious communities that originally sponsored the colleges, although about one third are held by universities. These archives are rich resources on the history of women, education, religion, and culture that to some degree have been neglected by scholars who have focused on the history of colleges that are still open. As well as suggesting avenues for future research, this article contributes to the literature on how archives can cope with the voluminous records of twentieth-century institutions, and to emerging scholarship on the relationship of archives and memory. The survey upon which it is based revealed certain limitations on preservation, access, and use of these archives, so the article concludes with recommendations on how to make them more visible.Peer reviewe
Women Academics in England, 1870-1930
No full textBased on the author's dissertation, this article traces the development of the academic profession for women in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women at Oxford, Cambridge and London universities. Unlike in the United States, where women's role in higher education expanded and then retracted during this period, British women slowly and steadily made inroads into this male-dominated profession.Peer reviewe
