Sufis, Kabbalists and Christian Philosophers in Medieval Spain New York Open Center and Lapis Magazine Online Present Sufis, Kabbalists and Christian Philosophers In Medieval Spain Granada, September 15th to 20th, 2007 Co-sponsored with The Ibn ‘Arabi Society, Centro Abierto Tomillo, The Lumen Foundation www.EsotericQuest.org Joinndalusia, orus Al-Andalus on, developed a an extraordinary Quest … culture of religious tolerance in medieval Spain that produced works of enduring spiritual and artistic genius. Today, when the world seems to teeter on the edge of major religious conflict, this enlightened period when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in relative Aamity serves as a powerful reminder of the achievements of co-existence or ‘conviviencia’. This was the time when the Zohar, the seminal kabbalistic work, was compiled by Moses de Leon. It was also the period of Ibn ‘Arabi, the Sheik Al-Akbar, the greatest of Sufi teachers, while further north in Majorca the Christian philosopher, Ramon Llull, developed a form of wisdom that drew from the deepest esoteric teachings of all three cultures. Join us on a quest for the beauty and spiritual philosophy of this largely forgotten age, a time when the magical city of Cordoba contained a library of scores of thousands of books while the largest collection elsewhere in Europe had no more than 400. The Islamic culture that conquered Spain went on to translate the works of the ancient Greek philosophers and was familiar with the secrets of alchemy. In this vibrant world, Kabbalists intermingled with Sufis, and streams of wisdom flowed into Spain from both the far East and the North. This sixth in the Open Center’s series of conferences on the Western Esoteric Tradition will take place in Granada, the evocative and beautiful city lying below the snowy Sierra Nevada that, alone on the Iberian Peninsula, remained under Muslim control until the fateful year of 1492. Outstanding faculty from Spain, France, Britain and the United States will address such topics as: the Zohar, the Sufis of Andalusia, Arabic alchemy, Ibn ‘Arabi and Rumi, the knowledge system of Ramon Llull, the troubadours, and the place of Spain and Islam in the Grail stories. Evenings will be filled with poetry, flamenco and music that emerged from the blending of ‘Las Tres Culturas.’ Contact: For more information please contact Andrea Lomanto at 212.219.2527 ext. 101 or write [email protected].

  • Essays on Golden Age Spanish Literature for Geoffrey L. Stagg in Honor of His Eighty-Fifth Birthday
    21.2 (2001) Reviews 227 Ingeniosa Invención: Essays on Golden Age Spanish Literature for Geoffrey L. Stagg in Honor of his Eighty-fifth Birthday. Ed. Ellen Anderson and Amy Williamsen. Newark, DE: Juan de la Cuesta, 1999. xx + 258 pp. ISBN: 0-936388-83-8. Geoffrey L. Stagg is duly honored in this latest addition to the handsome “homenajes” series published by Juan de la Cuesta. The collection of essays edited by Ellen M. Anderson an d Amy R. Williamsen contains some truly excellent contributions to Golden Age studies across the board. As most readers of this journal probably know, Stagg’s research focuses on the Cervantine œuvre, and he served as an Associate Editor for Cervantes since the journal’s inception until the date of publication of this Festschrift in celebra- tion of his eighty-fifth birthday. However, the editors’ introduction makes quite clear the fact that Stagg is nothing less than a Renaissance man—trained in both arms and letters—and this diversity is reflected through the fine selection of scholars and articles that make up this academic accolade. In addition to sketching Stagg’s academic career in their introduction to this homage, the editors also bring to light the human touch of this humani- tarian. His diplomatic manner with his students, his very special relationship with his wife, and the couple’s generous dinner parties with colleagues and students all paint an intimate portrait that gives a sense of wholeness to this academic tribute. The volume itself is divided into fou r sections. The first section, titled “Comparative Contexts,” contains three essays that “contribute to the under- standing of Spanish Renaissance and Baroque works in the light of the classi- cal letters and the Elizabethan literature Stagg knows and loves so well” (xvii).

  • Multiperspectivism in the Novels of the Spanish Civil War Hans Lauge Hansen, Aarhus University
    Orbis Litterarum 66:2 148–166, 2011 Printed in Malaysia. All rights reserved Multiperspectivism in the Novels of the Spanish Civil War Hans Lauge Hansen, Aarhus University Since the turn of the millennium, Spanish society has been engaged with an intense public and political debate about the Civil War and the post-war period. The number of publications has exploded within all genres, and narrative fiction clearly participates in the negotiation of the cultural memory of this period. Taking its point of departure in Todorov’s concept of restorative narratives, this article investigates whether contemporary Spanish novels continue a Manichaean division between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and whether it is possible to detect a difference in narrative patterns before and after the turn of the millennium. Keywords: cultural memory, Spanish Civil War, restorative narrative, multi- perspectivism, Spain. Since the turn of the millennium, Spain has witnessed a renewed public and political debate about Spain’s history in the twentieth century which has focused particularly on the memory of the Civil War of 1936–1939 and the immediate post-war period. The number of publications dedicated to this issue has exploded, not only in historiographic discourse, but within all genres, including novels, biography and autobiography.1 Through dialogue with other social discourses, narrative fiction clearly participates in the construction of the cultural memory of a given society. But what is the nature of this involvement? This article engages this question by examining the change in narrative perspective in the contemporary Spanish novel and by discussing the possible cultural and social impact of this change.

  • The Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque
    To Hell with Christ!—the Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque Signifying on the Novel as Genre Andrew R. Belton A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English & Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Jessica Wolfe Dr. James Thompson Dr. Beverly Taylor ©2009 Andrew R. Belton ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Andrew R. Belton: To Hell with Christ!—the Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque Signifying on the Novel as Genre (Under the direction of Jessica Lynn Wolfe) This thesis looks at an anonymously-authored work of early modern Spanish prose fiction, namely La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes, y de sus fortunas y adversidades (The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes: his Fortunes and Misfortunes). It makes the argument that Lazarillo, as a progenitor-text for the picaresque and novelistic traditions, initiates the use of intertextual signifying and the play of the parodic as an imaginative practice that will come to define twentieth century notions of the novel as a generic form with identifiable techniques. Major portions of this essay read parody as it functions within the text, both thematically and structurally; applying Bakhtinian notions of parodia sacra to discuss methodology, form and the construction of meaning within the work. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Throughout my work on this thesis, a number of people have been dedicated to providing support for its completion. I wish to thank several of these persons for their availability, feedback, and confidence in seeing this project to its close.

  • TRANSLATION and LITERATURES in SPAIN, 20032012 Mario
    TRANSLATION AND LITERATURES IN SPAIN, 2003­2012 Mario Santana The University of Chicago Recibido: 24 julio 2015 Aceptado: 19 septiembre 2015 2015 Over the course of the last two decades, the rise of Iberian Studies within the US academy has forced a reconceptualization of monolithic (and monolingual) understandings of national literatures that were (and still are) one of the hallmarks of Hispanism and other institutionalized disciplinary fields of cultural scholarship. One of the most obvious effects of this shift has been the vindication of previously marginalized languages and cultures as objects of inquiry, and the need to articulate epistemological models and practices that bring to light both their particular trajectories and the complexities of their coexistence and interaction. In this context, the success of Iberian Studies as a productive epistemological model will depend on the the formulation and implementation of theoretically­informed practices that would open new venues for the expansion of the material and disciplinary archives, which in turn may facilitate the discovery and articulation of new critical problems that the previous paradigm did not identify as such.(1) In this essay, I would like to focus on one of the areas in need of further exploration —the role of translation in the constitution of national literatures and, in particular, in the dynamics of interliterary relations within the Iberian Peninsula. It is fair to say that the study of translation has remained in large part disassociated from the historical

When the Bubble Bursts: A Spatial Interrogation of Spanish Crisis in José Ángel Mañas’ Sospecha Abstract José Ángel Mañas’s detective novel Sospecha investigates the consequences of the 2008 economic crisis by focusing on the unsustainable development of the Madrid urban area. I argue that the novel’s depiction of the Spanish capital serves as a case study for coming to terms with the identity and effects of crisis. By employing elements of the police procedural, Sospecha creates multiple trajectories through these suburban communities, allowing the novel to trace the impacts of a globalized economic model that presents these spaces as products of consumption.
