    NÚMERO MONOGRÁFICO CONMEMORATIVO DEL XIII CENTENARIO DEL DESEMBARCO ÁRABO-BEREBER DEL 711 Cierro y ventana en Mª Antonia Toledo, 12 CIERROS Y BALCONES AljarandaAljaranda Año XXI Núm. 81 Segundo Trimestre. Junio 2011 aliados, el conde Julián y los parientes de Witiza, solo podían lograr sus respectivos objetivos mediante la derrota y derrocamiento del rey Rodrigo. Y resulta también claro que esto solo sería posible tras los asedios y tomas de la ciudad Aljaranda 81 (2011) de Córdoba (capital de la Bética) y de Toledo (capital del estado visigodo). La simple observación del mapa físico de la Península Ibérica nos descubre de forma inmediata que la única vía posible de penetración de las tropas de Tarik hacia esos objetivos habría de ser a través del valle del Guadalquivir. Las sierras béticas y penibéticas eran obstáculos insalvables para un rápido avance por cualquier trayecto diferente. De hecho, tras la victoria de los árabes XIII Centenario desembarco árabo-bereber y sus aliados en la batalla de la laguna de la Janda, los soldados de Tarik fueron conquistando sucesivamente las poblaciones de Medina Sidonia, Morón, Carmona, Sevilla, Écija y finalmente Córdoba y Toledo. Surge por tanto la hipótesis de que, una vez realizado el desembarco inicial en Gibraltar, lugar de fácil defensa, y dominada la situación en el entorno de la bahía, se produjeran nuevos desembarcos - durante los meses de junio y julio del 711- en los caladeros de Tarifa (lugar ya conocido por haber sido invadido y saqueado por Tarif ibn Mallik en julio del 710) o de la ensenada de Barbate. En estos desembarcos habrían llegado los 5.000 soldados enviados como refuerzo por el emir Musa.

First, my greatest thanks go to my advisor, Diane Owen Hughes, who has guided, supported, and taught me throughout my graduate studies at Michigan. Her intellectual brilliance and breadth of knowledge has shaped this dissertation and my own thinking in so many ways. I could not have asked for a better mentor. I also want to give a special thanks to my dissertation committee. I learned much from long discussions with Michael Bonner, who shares my enthusiasm for the history of medieval and early modern geography and cartography. His advice on sources to consult and paths to follow has been instrumental in the completion of this project. I thank Hussein Fancy, for stimulating conversations and for always pushing me to think in new ways. I have further benefitted from my other committee members, Emilie Savage-Smith and Karla Mallette. Their careful reading and thoughtful critiques have been invaluable to me. At Michigan, the Department of History, the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program, the Eisenberg Institute, and the Rackham Graduate School have provided an intellectual home as well as funding for my research and writing.

  • The Meanings and Aesthetic Development of Almohad Friday Mosques
    MONUMENTAL AUSTERITY: THE MEANINGS AND AESTHETIC DEVELOPMENT OF ALMOHAD FRIDAY MOSQUES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Degree Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jessica Renee Streit August 2013 © 2013 Jessica Renee Streit MONUMENTAL AUSTERITY: THE MEANINGS AND AESTHETIC DEVELOPMENT OF ALMOHAD FRIDAY MOSQUES Jessica Renee Streit, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 This dissertation examines four twelfth-century Almohad congregational mosques located in centers of spiritual or political power. Previous analyses of Almohad religious architecture are overwhelmingly stylistic and tend to simply attribute the buildings’ markedly austere aesthetic to the Almohads’ so-called fundamentalist doctrine. Ironically, the thorough compendium of the buildings’ physical characteristics produced by this approach belies such a monolithic interpretation; indeed, variations in the mosques’ ornamental programs challenge the idea that Almohad aesthetics were a static response to an unchanging ideology. This study demonstrates that Almohad architecture is a dynamic and complex response to both the difficulties involved in maintaining an empire and the spiritual inclinations of its patrons. As such, it argues that each successive building underwent revisions that were tailored to its religious and political environment. In this way, it constitutes the fully contextualized interpretation of both individual Almohad mosques and Almohad aesthetics. After its introduction, this dissertation’s second chapter argues that the two mosques sponsored by the first Almohad caliph sent a message of political and religious authority to their rivals. The two buildings’ spare, abstract ornamental system emphasized the basic dogma upon which Almohad political legitimacy was predicated, even as it distinguished Almohad mosques from the ornate sanctuaries of the Almoravids.

    ACTAS . II J ORNADAS DE H ISTORIA DE T ARIFA AL QANTIR 16 (2014) 143-152 Acerca del establecimiento de los grupos bereberes en la zona de Tarifa. Pautas, dinámicas y posibles asentamientos On the establishment of Berber groups around Tarifa. Guidelines, dynamicas and posible settlements José Beneroso Santos Instituto de Estudios Campogibraltareños Resumen: El establecimiento de los grupos arabo-bereberes en la península Ibérica desde principios del siglo VIII fue un factor determinante en la formación y en el proceso evolutivo de al-Andalus como entidad política, económica y social. La zona de Tarifa, y tierras adyacentes, adquirieron desde los inicios de la invasión un gran protagonismo, pues la primera incursión arabo-bereber, la realizada en 710, se desarrolló en gran parte aquí. Este territorio, tras los sucesos de 711, fue muy pronto sometido y repartido, quedando establecidos elementos bereberes con su habitual modelo de asentamiento, el cual presentaba un hábitat rural disperso y organizado en pequeñas comunidades clánico-tribales prácticamente independientes que intentaron evitar su sometimiento tanto al poder estatal como al de otros grupos bereberes. Palabras Clave: Tarifa - bereberes - asentamientos - tierra - toponimia. Abstract: The establishment of Arab-Berber groups in the Iberian Peninsula from the beginning of the 8 th century was a determining factor in the formation and in the evolutionary process of Al-Andalus as a political, economic and social entity. The zone of Tarifa, and adjacent lands, acquired from the beginnings of the invasion a great prominence, so the first Arab-Berber incursion, that of 710, developed largely here. This territory, after the events of 711, was subjugated and shared out very soon, and Berber elements became established with their habitual pattern of settlement, which presented a dispersed rural habitat organized into small tribal, clannish, practically independent communities that tried to avoid submission both to the power of the state and to that of other Berber groups.

Revista de Estudios Campogibraltareños, 45, octubre 2016. Algeciras. Instituto de Estudios Campogibraltareños, pp. 173-181. Recibido: septiembre de 2014 Aceptado: octubre de 2014 ALGUNAS NOTAS SOBRE LA PRESENCIA NORTEAFRICANA EN LA ZONA DE TARIFA, ANTES DE LA INCURSIÓN BEREBER EN 710 José Beneroso Santos / Instituto de Estudios Campogibraltareños. RESUMEN En esta ocasión, y en relación a los trabajos presentados en Jornadas anteriores, nos ha parecido interesante profundizar en los antecedentes de la presencia norteafricana en tierras de la actual Tarifa, zona que alcanzaría un gran protagonismo con la llegada de los grupos arabo-bereberes a principios del siglo VIII. El elemento bereber aparecía integrado en la sociedad romana en época altoimperial, por lo que su tránsito hacia Hispania era habitual y se hacía con total normalidad. En los siglos posteriores, tanto bajo dominio bizantino, como visigodo, la afluencia de población norteafricana a estas tierras continuó en toda la franja costera peninsular del Estrecho, y en la actualidad se está a la espera de lo que la arqueología aporte. Palabras claves: Bereberes, Estrecho, Hispania, Baelo y Mellaria. ABSTRACT This time, and in relation to the works presented in previous conferences, it has seemed interesting to us to deepen into the history of the North African presence in the lands of the actual city of Tarifa, an area that would reach a major role with the arrival of the Arabo-Berbers groups in the early eighth century.
