The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity
International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 3, Issue 1, 2017, PP 63-76 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0301008 www.arcjournals.org The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity Imam Ghazali Said Indonesia Abstract: This research deals with the Islamic cultural heritage in al-Andalus and its significance for Spanish history and identity. It attempts to answer the question relating to the significance of Islamic legacies for the construction of Spanish history and identity. This research is a historical analysis of historical sources or data regarding the problem related to the place and contribution of al-Andalus’ or Islamic cultural legacies in its various dimensions. Source-materials of this research are particularly written primary and secondary sources. The interpretation of data employs the perspective of continuity and change, and continuity and discontinuity, in addition to Foucault’s power/knowledge relation. This research reveals thatal-Andalus was not merely a geographical entity, but essentially a complex of literary, philosophical and architectural construction. The lagacies of al-Andalus are seen as having a great significance for the reconstruction of Spanish history and the formation of Spanish identity, despite intense debates taking place among different scholar/historians. From Foucauldian perspective, the break between those who advocate and those who challenge the idea of convivencia in social, religious, cultural and literary spheres is to a large extent determined by power/knowledge relation. The Castrian and Albornozan different interpretations of the Spanish history and identity reflect their relations to power and their attitude to contemporary political situation that determine the production of historical knowledge. -
CIRCASSIANS of UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji
MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji Miyazawa A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD. Department of Anthropology and Sociology Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of Oriental and African Studies University of London MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY BY EIJI MIYAZAWA ABSTRACT This thesis explores social memories among Circassians in Turkey. It is based on eighteen months’ field research in the Uzunyayla plateau, Pınarbaşı district of Kayseri province, central Turkey. The Circassians (Çerkez) settled there are the descendants of refugees who fled from the Russian invasion of the Caucasus in the mid nineteenth century. “Memory” here is used in a broad sense to include the experiences and expressions of historical consciousness in everyday interactions, as well as articulated historical narratives. By interweaving them, the present work aims to analyse the political process involved in the production of knowledge about history and society. In efforts to reproduce a community in their new homeland, Circassians emphasise their history and collective identity. The local elites from noble (worq) families dominate such conservative, essentialist discourses, stressing their status superiority over ex-slave families. They recognise historical significance and identify the driving forces of their history by reference to specific social themes, such as the opposition between the two status groups. They monopolise history as a resource by excluding ex-slaves from the production of authoritative knowledge. Here, memory politics, consisting of space construction, control over interpersonal exchanges, and hierarchized personhood, plays a crucial role. In that process, ex-slaves become muted, made passively to embody a “feudal” past. By contrast, in Karakuyu, an affluent village also known as “Slave Village”, male comrades produce social relations different from elite representations by committing themselves to alcohol drinking. -

Secession As Undesirable Scenario: Reasons for Unity
Secession as Undesirable Scenario: Reasons for Unity Hakan KOLÇAK1 Abstract This article is an interdisciplinary study arguing that secession would not be a desirable constitutional and political phenomenon as separatist communities maintain. The article contends that secessionist communities would face many difficulties in the existence of recursive secessions, such as reciprocal ethnic atrocities, genocides, insecure public areas and forced deportations. Furthermore, multiple recursive secessions would lead to numerous economic catastrophes like those recorded in some former Yugoslav and Soviet republics. Secessionist communities are also likely to encounter diplomatic isolation in the presence of sequential secessions. According to the article, not only secession but also accommodationist constitutional approaches are likely to remove historical injustices. The article recognises the right to self-determination as a right of inclusion that does not justify secessionist movements. Finally, it is supported that unionism would enable communities to enjoy some security benefits unlikely to be provided by secessionism.

The Authoritarian Foundations of Civic Culture: Spain and Italy in Comparative Perspective

Fernandez Cite as: Dylan Riley and Juan J. Fernandez. (2006). “The Authoritarian Foundations of Civic Culture: Spain and Italy in Comparative Perspective.” IRLE Working Paper No. 135-06. http://irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers/135-06.pdf irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers The Authoritarian Foundations of Civic Culture: Spain and Italy in Comparative Perspective Dylan Riley Department of Sociology University of California, Berkeley Juan J. Fernandez University of California, Berkeley 1 Abstract What is the connection between civic autonomy and political participation? This paper assesses three answers to this question: the left Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy encourages political participation, the right Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy discourages political participation, and the neo-Marxist synthesis of these two positions developed by Gramsci. We investigate these competing arguments by analyzing the impact of two very different authoritarian regimes (Fascist Italy, and Francoist Spain) on post- authoritarian democratic participation. The Italian fascist regime eliminated civic autonomy, incorporating civic organizations into the party. The Franco regime, in contrast left a relatively autonomous "civic sphere" in tact. We find that Italian fascism tended to promote political participation by establishing a pattern of political behavior in which parties dominated civic associations. Spanish authoritarianism, with its more laissez faire orientation to civil society, left a legacy of deep political apathy. Paradoxically, from the perspective of the Tocquevillian left, the Fascist Italian regime produced a more 'participatory' liberal democracy, than the less Fascist Franco dictatorship. -

The European Trust Crisis and the Rise of Populism Supplementary
The European Trust Crisis and the Rise of Populism Supplementary Online Appendix Yann Algan Sergei Guriev Sciences Po and CEPR EBRD, Sciences Po and CEPR Elias Papaioannou Evgenia Passari London Business School and CEPR Université Paris-Dauphine Abstract This supplementary online appendix consists of three parts. First, we provide summary statistics, additional sensitivity checks and further evidence. Second, we provide details and sources on the data covering regional output and unemployment, trust, beliefs, attitudes and voting statistics. Third, we provide the classification of non-mainstream political parties’ political orientation (far-right, radical-left, populist, Eurosceptic and separatist) for all countries. 1 1. Summary Statistics, Additional Sensitivity Checks, and Further Evidence 1.1 Summary Statistics Appendix Table 1 reports the summary statistics at the individual level for all variables that we use from the ESS distinguishing between the pre-crisis period (2000-08) and the post-crisis period (2009-14). Panel A looks at all questions on general trust, trust in national and supranational institutions, party identification, ideological position on the left-right scale and beliefs on the European unification issue whereas in panel B we focus on attitudes to immigration. 1.2 Additional Sensitivity Checks Appendix Table 2 looks at the relationship between employment rates and voting for anti- establishment parties. Panel A reports panel OLS estimates with region fixed effects. Panel B reports difference-in-differences estimates. In contrast to Table 4, the specifications now include a dummy that takes on the value of one for core countries (Austria, France, Norway, Sweden) and zero for the periphery countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Ireland, Slovakia). -
Organizzazioni Mondiali]
1 1 [ORGANIZZAZIONI MONDIALI] Commento. Le bandiere cosiddette internazionali sono quelle il 2 cui messaggio è indirizzato alle platee più vaste. Alcune possono essere definite mondiali, perché appartenenti a tutto, o quasi, il genere umano. La loro simbologia richiama concetti universali. Quella delle Nazioni Unite mostra il globo terrestre circondato da rami di ulivo: è notoriamente una bandiera di pace sebbene spesso portata da soldati in armi e molti per essa siano sono caduti. I cinque cerchi colorati sulla bandiera olimpica annunciano che lo sport è di tutti, senza differenza alcuna (purtroppo in teoria: i soldi fanno sempre più la differenza) e la Croce Rossa, o gli altri simboli ad essa collegati, hanno, o dovrebbero avere, le strade aperte ovunque c’è sofferenza. Messaggi dunque da tutti facilmente comprensibili, spesso contraddittori, che l’umanità indirizza a se stessa. Nazioni Unite, United Nations, Nations Unies, Vereinte Nationen, ONU, UN, UNO, dal 1947 Il 24 ottobre 1945, con l’entrata in vigore dello statuto, nasceva l’Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite, aperta in linea di principio a tutti gli stati e finalizzata al mantenimento della pace e della sicurezza e alla cooperazione in campo economico, culturale e sociale. Gli stati membri erano 50 nel 1945; a tutto settembre 2002, dopo l'entrata della Svizzera (10.9.02) e di Timor Est (27.10.02), erano 191. Il carattere universale dell’organizzazione è ben rappresentato dall’emblema, adottato ufficialmente il 7 dicembre 1946, raffigurante una proiezione del globo terrestre centrata sul polo nord, ove sono visibili tutte le terre emerse, tranne l’Antartide. I rami d’olivo simboleggiano la pace.
