The Murder of the Abbot: a Homicide and Its Wider Impact in Fourteenth-Century Catalonia______87 J MEDIAEVISTIK Internationale Zeitschrift für interdisziplinäre Mittelalterforschung Herausgegeben von Peter Dinzelbacher Band 21 • 2 0 0 8 P€T€R LANG Frankfurt am Main • Berlin • Bern • Bruxelles • New York • Oxford • Wien Wandmalerei in der Kirche von Raasted bei Aarhus Der romanische Zyklus von ,Kalkmalereien‘ in dieser ostjütländi- schen Kirche ist sowohl wegen seiner guten Erhaltung als auch seines frühen Datums (um 1125) bekannt. Die erste Sünde, der Ungehorsam Adams und Evas, ist am nördlichen Triumphbogen dem ersten Mord, dem Kains an Abel, gegenübergestellt. Die Ureltern erkennen, wie ihre Gesten zeigen, bereits ihre Nacktheit, womit, wie häufig, zwei hintereinander liegende Momente verschmolzen werden. Die sichere und ästhetische Linienführung verweist auf ein erfahrenes Atelier; die Farbigkeit ist wie stets in der dänischen Wandmalerei gedämpft: Hellblauer Hintergrund und gelbliches Inkarnat.

  • The Splintering of Spain
    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them.

  • Life Writing As Political Critique in the Spanish Habsburg Empire (1545-1557)

Life writing, as State-sponsored, official history (historia pro persona), focused on the lives of illustrious men and sovereigns, and was used during the early modern period as a tool of the Spanish Crown to reinforce its sovereignty. Such lives also held a synecdochal relationship to Spain’s emerging sense of national identity. As Emperor, Charles V accorded life writing unprecedented importance. Even as he sought after monarchia univeralis, he faced extreme challenges to his sovereignty during the period I study, including the crisis with the corsairs and the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean, the rebellion of the conquistadors in the Americas, and the schism of the Church and Empire as a result of the Reformation in Europe.

  • The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity
    The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Ignacio E. Navarrete Summer 2015 The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance, and Morisco Identity © 2015 by Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry All Rights Reserved The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California-Berkeley Thomas Dandelet, Chair Abstract In the Spanish city of Granada, beginning with its conquest by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, Christian aesthetics, briefly Gothic, and then classical were imposed on the landscape. There, the revival of classical Roman culture took place against the backdrop of Islamic civilization. The Renaissance was brought to the city by its conquerors along with Christianity and Castilian law. When Granada fell, many Muslim leaders fled to North Africa. Other elite families stayed, collaborated with the new rulers and began to promote this new classical culture. The Granada Venegas were one of the families that stayed, and participated in the Renaissance in Granada by sponsoring a group of writers and poets, and they served the crown in various military capacities. They were royal, having descended from a Sultan who had ruled Granada in 1431. Cidi Yahya Al Nayar, the heir to this family, converted to Christianity prior to the conquest. Thus he was one of the Morisco elites most respected by the conquerors.

  • The War of the Two Pedros (1356-1366): Aragon's Successful Administrative Strategy of Asymmetrical Defense
    THE WAR OF THE TWO PEDROS (1356-1366): ARAGON'S SUCCESSFUL Administrative Strategy OF ASYMMETRICAL DEFENSE DONALD J. KAGAY ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY USA Date of reception: 30th of March, 2010 Final date of acceptance: 19th of January, 2011 ABSTRACT This article focuses on the general strategy of defense developed by the Aragonese king, Pere III "the Cerimonious" during the War of the Two Pedros (1356-1366) between the Crown of Aragon and Castile ruled by Pedro I "the Cruel". By an asymmetrical form of defense using feudal and mercenary troops, Pere was able to wait out his "principal adversary" and bring the war to a successful conclusion: survival. Pere's crisis military administration and financing ultimately pointed to institutional changes that would come into full existence with the "united" Spain of the later fifteenth century.1 KEY WORDS Pere III of Aragon, Crown of Aragon, medieval military strategy.

KAGAY According to the principal military theorist of the nineteenth century, Carl von Clausewitz, war should never be viewed as having a life of its own, separate from the state. It should rather should be understood as a“continuation of [state] policy with other means2.” Contemporary intelligence analyst, Robert O’Connell, would agree, assuring us that “war is not simply armed violence..

CHAPTER III THE CARREIRA DA ÍNDIA Ships and navigation Their knowledge of shipbuilding and navigation enabled the Iberians to overcome the existing natural barriers and to 'discover' new worlds. However, once they had chosen the places where their Estados could collect the revenues and from where they would maintain regular communication with the mother country, they were confronted with serious limitations. In particular the Portuguese Carreira da Índia, the shipping route between Lisbon and India, suffered from wear and tear and the technical limitations of its ships in the sometimes hostile environments of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The Portuguese, at least those living along the coast and the estuaries, had, so to say, shipbuilding, sailing and navigation in their bones. For hundreds of years they had built ships which were suitable for fishing and navigation in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean and in the North Sea. Already in 1258 an inquiry into how the population in Pindelo, a village in the mouth of the river Ave, paid the royal rights, revealed a surprising variety of different types of ships that were being used for fishing and for the import of merchandise.i Some of these types still existed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, of larger tonnage and somewhat modified, but with the same limitations.

World's Fairs in Chicago and Barcelona: Spectacle, Memory, and Nationalism Abstract Nineteenth-century international exhibitions served as platforms for national competition and self- expression. Though over 4,000 miles apart, both Chicago, Illinois and Barcelona, Spain were animated by "second city" politics and featured a thriving industrial economy in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Yet while Chicagoans swelled with pride about the city they had helped resurrect from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, they also displayed patriotism toward an American nation that had overcome the Civil War and was rapidly amassing power. A burgeoning Catalan nationalist movement, on the other hand, contributed to a widening disconnect between the capital of Catalonia and a sputtering Spanish nation. These pivotal differences - along with historical circumstance - have informed the historical interpretation of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and Barcelona's 1888 Universal Exposition.

  • Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology by Marilola Pérez a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Sati
    Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology By Marilola Pérez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Associate Professor Lev D. Michael, Chair Associate Professor Richard A. Rhodes Professor William F. Hanks Fall 2015 © Copyright by Marilola Perez All Rights Reserved Abstract Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology by Marilola Pérez Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Associate Professor Lev D. Michael This dissertation provides a grammatical description and sociohistorical account of the Cavite variety of Philippine Creole Spanish (PCS), also known as Cavite Chabacano (CC); and analyzes how this language informs standard typological characterizations of contact languages. CC is one of three surviving varieties of Chabacano, a Spanish-lexified contact language of the Philippines. The unique status of Chabacano as the only Spanish-lexified creole in Asia presents a number of typological challenges to standard views of colonial contact languages based on prototypical plantation creoles. Most work on Chabacano assumes that it is a creole language, and only a few recent works on the Zamboanga variety of Chabacano have questioned this classification. The current work reexamines the status of Chabacano as a creole language by providing linguistic data from an understudied Chabacano variety and examining it from a typological perspective. On the descriptive front, the dissertation provides a sketch grammar that constitutes the most complete description of the language to this date. The linguistic description is supplemented with a sociohistorical reconstruction that proposes different stages in the development of CC: an initial period of koineization, a period of hispanization or ‘decreolization’, and a latter period in which more Tagalog forms were incorporated from the adstrate.
