  • Myth-Making and the Historical Imagination: an Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature
    Myth-making and the Historical Imagination: An Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature Gaston Jean-Xavier Arze Springfield, Virginia BA English, University of Virginia, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2018 Dr. Ahmed H. al-Rahim Dr. E. Michael Gerli 2 1. Introduction A historical narrative is thus necessarily a mixture of adequately and inadequately explained events, a congeries of established and inferred facts, at once a representation that is an interpretation and an interpretation that passes for an explanation of the whole process mirrored in the narrative. Hayden White, Tropics of Discourse (1978). The history of Islam in Spain is a deeply contested historical narrative, whose interpretation has significant implications for Spain’s perception of its national identity, as well as its historical memory, and modern political discourse. The rejection of Islamic Iberia plays an important role in the modern understanding of the nascence of the Spanish state. This is because, the history of medieval Iberia is largely framed as an 800-year struggle for independence from invading Muslims. This historical narrative is obviously at odds with the historical presence of the religion of Islam, the irrefutable linguistic contact between Arabic and Peninsular Romance, and the role of Arabic and Arabic sources in Iberia’s rich literary history. The aforementioned interpretation of the history of the Iberian Peninsula also rejects the influence that Islam played in the creation of identities unique to the peninsula: namely, the Mudéjars, the Moriscos and the Mozarabs.

  • Tours Around the Algarve
    BARLAVENTO BARLAVENTO Região de Turismo do Algarve SAGRES TOUR SAGRES SAGRES TOUR SAGRES The Algarve is the most westerly part of mainland Europe, the last harbouring place before entering the waters of the Atlantic, a region where cultures have mingled since time immemorial. Rotas & Caminhos do Algarve (Routes and Tours of the Algarve) aims to provide visitors with information to help them plan a stay full of powerful emotions, a passport to adventure, in which the magic of nature, excellent hospitality, the grandeur of the Algarve’s cultural heritage, but also those luxurious and cosmopolitan touches all come together. These will be tours which will lure you into different kinds of activity and adventure, on a challenge of discovery. The hundreds of beaches in the Algarve seduce people with their white sands and Atlantic waters, which sometimes surge in sheets of spray and sometimes break on the beaches in warm waves. These are places to relax during lively family holidays, places for high-energy sporting activity, or for quiet contemplation of romantic sunsets. Inland, there is unexplored countryside, with huge areas of nature reserves, where you can follow the majestic flight of eagles or the smooth gliding of the storks. Things that are always mentioned about the people of the Algarve are their hospitality and their prowess as story-tellers, that they are always ready to share experiences, and are open to CREDITS change and diversity. The simple sophistication of the cuisine, drawing inspiration from the sea and seasoned with herbs, still Property of the: Algarve Tourism Board; E-mail: [email protected]; Web: www.visitalgarve.pt; retains a Moorish flavour, in the same way as the traditional Head Office: Av.

  • European Treaties Bearing on the History of the United States and Its Dependencies
    European Treaties bearing on the History of the United States and its Dependencies to 1648 EDITED BY FRANCES GARDINER DAVENPORT WASHINGTON, D. C. Published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington 1917 Digitized by Google £77 ;? 3)aV CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON Publication No. 254 Papers of the Department of Historical Research J. Franklin Jamison, Editor 249833 Cft £or& ®affimor< fp«6* !' AI.TIMORR, m>., C. I. A. Digitized by Google PREFACE. The colonial dependence of the American settlements upon various Euro- pean governments brings it about, as a necessary consequence, that several of the treaties between European governments, and several of the bulls issued by the popes in virtue of their powers of international regulation, are funda- mental documents for some of the earlier portions of American history. Other treaties, or individual articles in treaties, of the period before inde- pendence, though not of fundamental importance to that history, have affected it in greater or less degree. In the period since the United States became independent, though the treaties most important to their history have been those made by their own government, not a few of the treaties concluded between European powers have had an influential bearing on the course of their development and their public action. Taken altogether, therefore, European treaties, and the earlier papal bulls, form an important portion of the original material for American history. Yet access to authentic and exact texts of them is far from easy. In a few cases, as the researches made for this volume have shown, they do not exist in print.

  • 2019 Reconquista E Cristianização Da Paisagem.Pdf
    A Reconquista e a cristianização da paisagem urbana portuguesa Luísa Trindade Universidade de Coimbra [email protected] Este texto equaciona a forma como a transferência do domínio islâmico para cristão, no decorrer dos séculos XI a XII, se refletiu nas matrizes urbanísticas do território português. Cruzando fontes de natureza diversa — dados arqueológicos, documentação escrita e análise cadastral — e confrontando os resultados com os de investigações sobre outras regiões da Península Ibérica, avalia-se o que parece ser uma mudança de paradigma, cujo principal indicador é o desaparecimento da casa-pátio, e a extensão e os ritmos dessa mudança. This paper focuses on how the transference of the Islamic domain to the Christian, during the 11 to 13th centuries, reflected in the urban matrix of the Portuguese territory. Crossing multiple sources of diverse nature - archaeological data, written documentation and cadastral analysis — and confronting the outcomes with the results of parallel research on other regions of the Iberian Peninsula, the paper evaluates what seems to be a shift of paradigm, being the disappearance of the house with a central courtyard the core indicator, as well as the extent and rhythms of that change. Este texto incide sobre las consecuencias que la transferencia del territorio de lo dominio islámico a lo cristiano, a lo largo de los siglos XI al XIII, ha tenido en la matriz urbana de lo territorio portugués. Cruzando fuentes de naturaleza diversa - datos arqueológicos, documentación escrita y análisis catastral - y confrontando los resultados con investigaciones paralelas en otras regiones de la Península Ibérica, se evalúa lo que parece ser un cambio de paradigma, siendo la desaparición de la casa-patio el principal indicador, así como la extensión y los ritmos de esa transformación.
