St. Martin De Porres: The Little Stories and the Semiotics of Culture (Faith and Cultures Series) (Faith & Cultures) (Faith & Cultures) - Softcover
Synopsis
The little stories and the traditions that grew up around Saint Martin de Porres of Peru are fascinating and every bit as charming as the stories told of Saint Francis of Assisi. But as GarcÃa-Rivera shows, these deceptively simple stories reveal much more. For the first time GarcÃa-Rivera unpacks these stories, using the semiotic method and insights garnered from the works of Robert Schreiter, Eugene Genovese, and Antonio Gramsci.
To build this method of theological reflection GarcÃa-Rivera addresses such questions as: does an authentic Latin American theology exist? If it exists, where and how can it be expounded? What does Saint Martin de Porres beatification process tell us? How do the little stories reflect and extend the great theological debate of Valladolid in 1550, with Bartolomé de las Casas and Juan Gines de Sepulveda arguing whether the Indians were even human beings?
Using the semiotics of culture to delve into these stories, the author provides rich and astonishing insights into the power of the 'little story', told and retold over time by ordinary folk, that make possible the 'Big Story' of universal principles of human reality.

From the Back Cover
The "little stories" and the traditions that grew up around St. Martin de Porres are fascinating in themselves, and every bit as charming as those told of St. Francis of Assisi. But as Garcia-Rivera shows in this book, these deceptively simple stories are equally the story of a submerged consciousness of resistance on the part of the marginalized peoples of Latin America. For the first time, Garcia-Rivera "unpacks" these stories, using the semiotic method and insights garnered from the works of Robert Schreiter, Eugene Genovese, and Antonio Gramsci.
