Kult obrazów a kult świętych w nowożytnym Krakowie (The cult of images and the cult of saints in Cracow in the early modern era)

A strong connection between cult of images and the cult of saints is very typical of Cracow in the early modern era.... more A strong connection between cult of images and the cult of saints is very typical of Cracow in the early modern era. This phenomenon, which developed in the 1st half of the 17th c., is explained by researchers as a sign of revival of the medieval cults, which in turn usually coincided with preparations to beatification or canonization processes. A few images or figures are said to have been owned by the blessed (e.g. in the Poor Clave convent: Salomea’s Byzantine mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary and a cult a figure of the Child). Many crucifixes are believed to have spoken to the blessed: the so called Queen Jadwiga’s crucifix in the Cathedral, or another in the St. Marks’s Church, which had several conversations with Michal Giedroyc, two crucifixes in the Dominican Monastery have spoken to friars, and – last but not least – the one in Our Lady’s Church, one of the most brilliant works by Veit Stoss, asked Swietoslaw "cur silet ecclesia?"; another person blessed by a vision in front of this crucifix was Barbara Lang, who also worshipped another crucifix, in St. Barbara. John Cantius (Jan of Kęty) is believed to have prayed in front of a likeness of the Man of Sorrow with the Virgin, fixed to the entrance to Collegium Maius (nowadays in the Rectory of the St. Anne’s Church). Finally, two mural paintings in the Augustinian Cloister are said to have been made on Izajasz called Boner’s initative: a likeness of the Man of Sorrows with the Virgin and an image known from the 17th c. as the Mother of Consolation.
The dating of the images usually excludes their connection with the blessed (with few exceptions, e.g. the Salomea’s icon and the Jadwiga’s crucifix). Nevertheless, the association of the local saints with the images remained an important and permanent characteristic of the religiousness typical of Cracow not only in the early modern era, but in the 19th and 20th c. as well.

Las diferencias entre ambos repercuten significativamente sobre la percepción de nuestro país.
La imagen de España en Japón es un importante indicativo de las correspondientes imágenes de otros países de la región.

Este trabajo indaga la validez de los datos en otros países de la región comparando los rasgos principales que han definido esa
imagen, tanto en el plano de los contactos humanos, económicos o culturales como los diferentes filtros y asociaciones suscitados por esa imagen de España. Acaba realizando una comparación con Filipinas como ejemplo de país con un predominio importante de población rural frente a la mayoría urbanizada japonesa. La principal consideración a
tener en cuenta para extrapolar la encuesta realizada en Japón ha de ser que la gran mayoría de la población en los países asiáticos es aún rural, siendo Filipinas un ejemplo
claro de este contexto diferente al nipón.
