Américo Castro, Saint James, and Spain: The History of a Belief Daniel Blanchard Honors Thesis Advisor: Dr. John S. Ott 11 June 2014 Blanchard 1 The present essay is broadly interested in the problem of writing history, and the way different manners of confronting this problem are received and represented in the modern day as our historiographical compass increases in depth, scope, and capacity. Because of the breadth of this theme, it is necessary to limit myself to the case of a single author, admittedly a morsel of this project's potential magnitude. The case of Américo Castro, however, a Spanish historian of the twentieth century (1885–1972), represents this essay's broader concerns in historiography. Castro's work, particularly his magnum opus España en su historia (pub. 1948), embodies not only the intellectual trends of the Spanish thinkers of his day, but also a substantial swath of Western philosophy and academic production, epitomizing the varied ways in which historians were coming to grips with post-war, nationalistic interests.

Convi vencia: Christians, Jews, and Muslims in Medieval Spain Lindsey Vaughan Senior Honors Project December 2003 Faculty Mentor: Dr. Nuria Cruz-Camara Abstract Few time periods in world history offer as unique a glimpse into cultural cohabitation as the one in medieval Spain following the Arabic invasion and preceding the Christian Reconquest ended in 1492. Although the beginnings and ends of this history are filled with persecution and forced conversion, there existed a time in between of centuries of peaceful coexistence and cooperation, with mutual cultural exchanges that benefited Muslims, Jews, and Christians. This project focuses on the inter-relationship of religion and culture in the time period of medieval Spain known as the convivencia. It includes an analysis of how this diversity of thought and level of enriched learning was achieved and how it contributed to the literature, art, and science of the Middle Ages.
