With particular relevance to the period, the \u003ci\u003ePersiles\u003c\/i\u003e questions the issue of cultural pluralism in the Spanish empire and emphasizes the need to rethink the radically altered category of lo bárbaro\/the barbarian (which included not only the Jew, the Muslim, and the Gypsy, but also the criollo, the mestizo, and the indiano), a new multiracial and multiethnic reality that posed a profound challenge to early modern Spain. The contributors offer a range of perspectives in spatial theory, psychology and subjectivity, visual culture, and literary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpace and Place\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrederick de Armas, \"Cervantes\u0026amp;#x2019; Hermetic Architectures: The Dangers Outside in \u003ci\u003ePersiles\u003c\/i\u003e IV\" \u003cbr\u003eMichael Armstrong-Roche, \"The Lucianic Gaze Novelized: The Familiar Made Strange in \u003ci\u003ePersiles\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003eIsabel Lozano Renieblas, \"Chastity and Symbolism in the \u003ci\u003ePersiles\u003c\/i\u003e\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePsychic Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAnthony J.
