ARTICLE N°12 SAHARAN TRADE IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY Katia Schörle In classical antiquity, the Sahara (whether called deserta or solitudines Africae in Latin, or eremoi in Greek; Desanges 1999a: 239) was constructed by Greek and Roman writers alike as a place of distinctive otherness. Exotic, empty, wild, or peopled by bizarre creatures, it served to represent the antithesis of the known civilized world (Liverani 2000a: 498; J. McDougall this volume). Yet, much like the classical Mediterranean as described by Horden and Purcell in Th e Corrupting Sea (2000), the Sahara is perhaps best imagined as constituted by shift ing interactions, related microcosms, and overlapping networks than by rigid patterns: a network of hubs, central nodes around which activities revolved and which were involved in multidirectional exchange (Wilson 2009). -

The “Social Lives” of Tuareg Bracelets and Tent Posts in the Collection of the Spencer Museum of Art by Jessie Sirico Submit
The “Social Lives” of Tuareg Bracelets and Tent Posts in the Collection of the Spencer Museum of Art By Jessie Sirico Submitted to the graduate degree program in African and African-American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jessica Gerschultz ________________________________ Dr. Beverly Mack ________________________________ Dr. Shawn Alexander ________________________________ Dr. Dorthy Pennington Date Defended: 5 December 2013 The Thesis Committee for Jessie Sirico certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The “Social Lives” of Tuareg Bracelets and Tent Posts in the Collection of the Spencer Museum of Art ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jessica Gerschultz Date approved: 8 February 2014 ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the “social lives” of Tuareg bracelets and tent posts in the collection of the Spencer Museum of Art. My goal is to examine each phase in the “social lives” of these objects from their production and use within Tuareg society to their collection and subsequent exhibition in the museum. Because the objects were collected during the colonial era, emphasis will be given to a late 19th and early 20th century perspective. Part 1 is devoted to an examination of the social position of the Inaden and an analysis of the production of the bracelets and tent posts within Tuareg society. I pay particular attention to the gendered production of the objects and the meanings they held in the production phase of their “social lives.” In this part I also explore their gendered uses and the meanings they held for the Tuareg peoples who owned them. -

Overview Language Berbers from travel accounts and ethnography Berbers and Egypt Berbers and Carthage, Rome Berbers and Arabs Overview Chronologies It must be kept in mind that overarching chronologies in the Maghreb can give a comfortable guise of uniformity, but in all periods regional differences abound. This is a broad attempt: Political timeline Phoenician and Punic: ~1000 BC – 146 BC Roman and Byzantine: 146 BC – 640s AD Arab and Berber Islamic Dynasties: 7th – 16th centuries AD Ottoman: 16th century AD – 18th century AD Colonial: 19th century AD – 20th century AD Independence: 20th century AD – present Language Language They designate their language as Tamazight and to those who speak it as Imazighen. The root of this may be “free” or “noble/not a vassal” The modern Tuareg alphabet is called Tifinagh, and is related to the Libyan alphabet from early Roman occupation. Tuareg language is called Tamachek. and is generally considered to have fewer loan words from other languages, being insulated by geography.

Crossing the Strait from Morocco to the United States: the Transnational Gendering of the Atlantic World Before 1830
CROSSING THE STRAIT FROM MOROCCO TO THE UNITED STATES: THE TRANSNATIONAL GENDERING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD BEFORE 1830 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Marsha R. Robinson, MA ®®®®® The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Claire Robertson, Advisor Professor Ahmad Sikainga _________________________ Professor Stephen Hall Advisor History Graduate Program Copyright by Marsha Renee Robinson 2006 ABSTRACT This world women’s history is a comparative legal study tracing two thousand years of cultural contact through 1830 between the Saharan-based, gynecentric, Berian culture foundational to the Maliki Islam of the Berbers, Southern Arabs and Iberians, and the Mesopotamian and eastern Mediterranean patriarchy foundational to West Asiatic Islam and Western Christianity. The work explores the female-friendly Berian values common to the Saharan salt marsh diaspora and Almoravid Andalusia and North Africa, correcting patriarchal Sassanid influences upon Abbasid and Almohad omissions of female politicians from their imperial histories of the Maghrib. The European patriarchal bias began during Isabel I’s Reconquista Spain when the Spanish Inquisition attempted a purge of Berian matriliny. It continued with British harem envy, hyper-virility and political jealousy as Anglo-Americans engaged Barbary states. Western Christian philosophers, Freemasons, politicians and ministers used misperceptions of the harem to limit Western women’s economic and legal rights. In the U.S., this resulted in the simultaneous rise of domesticity, left-handed marriages, and de facto American polygyny. The Berber cultural influence on the U.S. occurred in the 1833 U.S. -

La ambigua actuación alrededor de estas excavaciones, así como la apropiación temporal de los objetos de ajuar que se recuperaron, por parte de uno de los cabecillas de la expedición arqueológica, el conde Byron Khun de Prorok, suscitó una enorme polémica que tuvo su reflejo en la prensa de la época. Con este trabajo pretendo sacar a la luz estas fuentes periodísticas en las que no sólo se revela el debate que se generó sobre el comportamiento de Prorok, sino que aportan información de gran interés concerniente desde a las piezas arqueológicas halladas en la tumba, hasta a las teorías que se concibieron en el momento y las versiones de los hechos, a veces contradictorias, de los protagonistas de la expedición. Gracias al análisis de estas fuentes muchas de las acusaciones vertidas con- tra Khun de Prorok se pueden rebatir, si bien otras confirman la legitimidad de las críticas que se le dirigieron. -
