Jaspert, Historisches Seminar, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg DRAWING BOUNDARIES: INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION IN MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC SOCIETIES (Language: English) Eduardo Manzano Moreno, Instituto de Historia, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid Introduction: Hans-Werner Goetz, Historisches Seminar, Universität Hamburg Details: ‘The Mediterranean Other and the Other Mediterranean: Perspective of Alterity in the Middle Ages’: For many decades, the medieval Mediterranean has repeatedly been put to use in order to address, understand, or explain current issues. Lately, it tends to be seen either as an epitome of transcultural entanglements or - quite on the contrary - as an area of endemic religious conflict. In this paper, I would like to reflect on such readings of the Mediterranean and relate them to several approaches within a dynamic field of historical research referred to as ‘xenology’. I will therefore discuss different modalities of constructing self and otherness in the central and western Mediterranean during the High and Late Middle Ages. The multiple forms of interaction between politically dominant and subaltern religious communities or the conceptual challenges posed by trans-Mediterranean mobility are but two of the vibrant arenas in which alterity was necessarily both negotiated and formed during the medieval millennium. Otherness is however not reduced to the sphere of social and thus human relations. I will therefore also reflect on medieval societies’ dealings with the Mediterranean Sea as a physical and oftentimes alien space. ‘Drawing Boundaries: Inclusion and Exclusion in Medieval Islamic Societies’: The Arab expansion of the 7th and 8th centuries created a new political and social community that was defined by certain elements, both ideological and cultural, that were partaken by all its members. Shared religion and language played a prominent role, but crucially some of these elements were also visible, as shown by recently uncovered evidence from seals, cemeteries, or early archaeological sites. Yet by defining itself, medieval Islam also defined ‘the others’, those who simply did not share in these identifying features. However, these features were also social and cultural, which tended to blur the lines between Muslims and non-Muslim communities living within recently-conquered territories. Recent research demonstrates that, although the conquests were an important milestone in the creation of this new community, its formation was far from complete. Close contact with the conquered populations helped to shape the traits of the community, which refused to be assimilated into pre-existing ideological or cultural frameworks. Thus, otherness in medieval Islamic societies reveals itself to be more nuanced concept than is usually perceived: rigid and uncompromising when it helps to draw distinctions in order to prevent any form of assimilation; flexible and adaptable when it fosters processes of social integration. Please note that admission to this event will be on a first-come, first- served basis as there will be no tickets. Please ensure that you arrive as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Polyvyannyy Дмитрий Игоревич Полывянный Ivanovo State University, Ивановский государственный Ivanovo, Russia университет, Иваново, Россия АНГЕЛОВ П., Чуждите народи в представите на средновековния българин, София, ТАНГРА ТанНакРА ИК ООД, 2013, 262 с. Professor Peter Angelov, the renowned medievalist from Sofia University “St. Clement of Ohrid,” has published a new book, Foreign Peoples as Viewed by a Medieval Bulgarian, following the path laid out in his previous works on images of Bulgaria and Bulgarians in Byzantium and on medieval Bulgarian diplomacy [Angelov 1999; idem 2011]. His new research uncovers unexplored perspectives provided by an imagological approach to the study of the Bulgarian mind during the Middle Ages, and he raises new questions about the rare written, iconographical, and folklore evidence that originated in both domest ic and foreign sources. Angelov chooses as his subjects those who differ from Bul garians by faith (for example, Judaists and Catholics) and by the polities to which they belonged (for example, Byzantines or Westerners, who, in medieval Bulgaria, were called Franks or Latins). Depending on the circumstances, members of each of these groups might be considered by the medieval Bulgarian state and society as insiders or outsiders. Proving that this situation to some extent was rooted in the regional specifics of Bulgaria, Angelov quotes the evidence of writings by Demetrios Chomatenos, arch­ bishop of Bulgaria (1216–1236), which state that the territory of his diocese, with its see in Ohrid, “from ancient times was allowed to be inhabited by peoples of other faiths and by different pagans, namely Jews, Armenians, Ishmaelites, Hagarians, etc.” (p.

  • The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American
    The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American Culture, 1830-1900 Ana Lucette Stevenson BComm (dist.), BA (HonsI) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics I Abstract During the 1830s, Sarah Grimké, the abolitionist and women’s rights reformer from South Carolina, stated: “It was when my soul was deeply moved at the wrongs of the slave that I first perceived distinctly the subject condition of women.” This rhetorical comparison between women and slaves – the woman-slave analogy – emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century, but gained peculiar significance in the United States during the nineteenth century. This rhetoric was inspired by the Revolutionary Era language of liberty versus tyranny, and discourses of slavery gained prominence in the reform culture that was dominated by the American antislavery movement and shared among the sisterhood of reforms. The woman-slave analogy functioned on the idea that the position of women was no better – nor any freer – than slaves. It was used to critique the exclusion of women from a national body politic based on the concept that “all men are created equal.” From the 1830s onwards, this analogy came to permeate the rhetorical practices of social reformers, especially those involved in the antislavery, women’s rights, dress reform, suffrage and labour movements. Sarah’s sister, Angelina, asked: “Can you not see that women could do, and would do a hundred times more for the slave if she were not fettered?” My thesis explores manifestations of the woman-slave analogy through the themes of marriage, fashion, politics, labour, and sex.

  • The Forced Migrations and Reorganisation of the Regional Order in the Caucasus by Safavid Iran: Preconditions and Developments Described by Fazli Khuzani*
    The Forced Migrations and Reorganisation of the Regional Order in the Caucasus by Safavid Iran: Preconditions and Developments Described by Fazli Khuzani* MAEDA Hirotake Introduction Two centuries of Safavid rule over the Iranian highlands from the 16th to 18th centuries brought about a substantial change in the indigenous society. Shia Islam became the state religion and rivalry with neighboring powers (Ottomans and Uzbeks) gives a certain socio-political distinction. During this period territorial integrity was also achieved to some extent as a result of the reformations of Shāh ‘Abbās I (reign 995/1587–1038/1629). He moved the capital to E≠fahān, an old city situated in central Iran and made the heart of the Iranian plateau crown land. Military reform was inevitable to strengthen the central authority facing danger both externally and at home. Shāh ‘Abbās incorporated the royal slaves gholāmān-e khā≠≠e-ye sharīfe=hereafter gholāms) into the state administration and this new elite corps mainly consisted of Caucasian converts who contributed much to the creation of a stable regime which replaced the tribal state.1 The Safavid gholāms were traditionally regarded as absolute slaves who had lost any previous identity and were totally dependent on the Shāh. * This paper was delivered at the conference ‘Reconstruction and Interaction of Slavic Eurasia and Its Neighboring Worlds’ held by the Slavic Research Center, Hokkaido University, in Sapporo, December 8–10, 2004 (Session 9: Power, Identity and Regional Restructuring in the Caucasus, December 10). I thank the participants and the audience for their valuable comments. Especially comments by Prof. Kitagawa (Tohoku University) are reflected in the following notes.

  • A 21St-Century Confessor
    A 21st-Century Confessor HIS EMINENCE JOVAN, ARCHBISHOP OF OHRID AND METROPOLITAN OF SKOPJE: A PRISONER FOR THE FAITH By the St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood When they strike the shepherd they expect the sheep to scatter, but Church history is paradoxical—the more the Church is persecuted, the more followers it gets. —Archbishop Jovan1 1. Introduction On July 26, 2005, His Eminence Jovan, Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje, began serving a two-and-a-half year prison sentence in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).2 A month earlier a court of appeals had upheld a lower court ruling that had found him guilty of “inciting national, racial and religious hatred, schism and intolerance.” In reality the government has imprisoned him for entering into communion with the Orthodox Church. According to the Orthodox Archbishopric of Ohrid website, Archbishop Jovan is “the only confessor of the faith who, in modern Europe, has been convicted and put in prison because of his religious beliefs.” 2. The Region of Macedonia The present Republic of Macedonia covers about a third of the historical region of Macedonia. Situated in the south central part of the Balkan Peninsula, the historical region extends into Greece, Albania and Bulgaria. A number of ancient kingdoms and former empires controlled the lands now known as the Republic of Macedonia. These included the realm of Paionia, the ancient Macedonian kingdom, the Roman and Byzantine Empires, Serbia, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. In the fourth century BC, the region came to dominate the Greek city states and, eventually, an area that reached Persia, Egypt and India.
