The Institut für LehrerInnenbildung und Schulforschung, the In- stitut für Organisation und Lernen (Wirtschaftspädagogik), the Akademisches Gymnasium Innsbruck, the Bundeshandelsaka- demie und -schule Innsbruck, as well as HTL Bau und Design are also involved. As such, the exhibition builds on the input of Tyrolean educational institutions, in which children and young people will develop modern approaches concerning the exhibiti- on themes in their classes. Students will research the historical cultural exchange between Orient and Occident by referencing present developments in this cultural contact zone. This process will reveal the transformation of the term »pirate« as well as the perception of pirates as »heroes« by different media, such as lite- rature, film, and the visual arts. The special exhibition Pirates and Slaves in the Mediterranean will take place as part of the Innsbrucker Kultursommer.

    Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation and Value By Heather Marie Bamford A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco, Co-Chair Professor José Rabasa, Co-Chair Professor Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht Professor Ignacio Navarrete Professor David Hult Fall 2010 1 Abstract Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation, and Value by Heather Marie Bamford Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Literatures and Languages University of California, Berkeley Professors Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco and José Rabasa, Co-Chairs This dissertation examines the uses of medieval and early-modern Iberian cultural objects in the present. It draws on the notion of fragment and actual fragmentary testimonies to study how pre- modern Iberian things and texts are reconstituted and used for various projects of personal, institutional, national and transnational reconstitution in the present. The corpus objects are necessarily diverse in chronological scope, with examples from the medieval, early-modern and modern periods, and touch upon works of many genres: chivalric romance, royal and personal correspondence, early-modern and modern historiography, Hispano-Arabic and Hispano-Hebrew lyric, inscriptions, pre-modern and modern biographies and 21st century book exhibitions. The dissertation proposes that Iberian fragments are engaged in various forms of reconstitution or production in the present and, at the same time, are held as timeless, unchanging entities that have the capability to allow users to connect with something genuinely old, truly Spanish and, indeed, eternal.

On the other hand, in this book there is information on the invitation of Hayreddin Barbarossa to Algeria, economic, social, cultural and religious status of Algeria at that time, and power struggles. In this study, the role and importance of Algeria in the maritime strategy of Hayreddin Barbarossa will be evaluated in the context of the information given in the mentioned book. KEYWORDS: Algeria, Barbarossa, Hayreddin Pasha, Kapudan Pasha, Ottoman, Marine strategy Resume: Hayreddin Barbarossa is the greatest admiral of Turkish-Islamic history. He was among the world's greatest admirals with his victory in the battle of Preveze. There is a book that Hayreddin Barbarossa has written about his wars and memories. It is possible to understand the ideals of Hayreddin Barbarossa in this book. In 1538, Hayreddin Barbarossa defeated the Crusader's navy about five times stronger and larger than his own navy.

Emmanuelle PUJEAU Preveza in 1538: The background of a very complex situation Introduction ETWEEN PREVEZA AND ACTIUM, the Story seems to repeat itself. When the fleet of Mark Antony united with Cleopatra’s forces is defeated by Augustus1 in 31 B.C. off B the Ambracy gulf, the events are seen as a victory of the Occident over the Orient. In this way, when a new campaign is planned in 1537, it is to reaffirm the superiority of the Oc- cident at sea. This point of view considering the Ambracy sector as a determining place could be the proof of its strategic situation for relations between East and West. This quality is ex- pressed in so many discourses of the time which propose itineraries to reconquest the Holy Land, suggesting passing through Preveza or its area.

The map is oriented with North at the top and presents a fascinating and disproportionately large representation of Algiers, with the the islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Corsica and Sardinia, and the contiguous coastlines of Spain and Italy, shown in an much smaller scale. The map shows Algriers at a time when it was prominent in the Barbary Pirate era. In 1516, the amir of Algiers, Selim b. Teumi, invited the corsair brothers Aruj and Hayreddin Barbarossa to expel the Spaniards. Aruj came to Algiers, ordered the assassination of Selim, and seized the town and ousted the Spanish in the Capture of Algiers (1516). Hayreddin, succeeding Aruj after the latter was killed in battle against the Spaniards in the Fall of Tlemcen (1517), was the founder of the pashaluk, which subsequently became the beylik, of Algeria. Barbarossa lost Algiers in 1524, but regained it with the Capture of Algiers (1529), and then formally invited the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, to accept sovereignty over the territory and to annex Algiers to the Ottoman Empire.

  • The 1535 War of Tunis in Habsburg Imperial Propaganda1
    “Instead of attacking the Turks...”: The 1535 War of Tunis in Habsburg Imperial Propaganda1 Tamás Kiss When the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V set out to attack Tunis in 1535, he took with him a number of artists, chroniclers and musicians, including Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen, who was commissioned to immortalize the events of the war in paintings and etchings. Vermeyen’s sketches later served for the unparalleled series of The Conquest of Tunis tapestries by Willem de Panne- maker:2 from the summer of 1546 to the autumn of 1550, Vermeyen worked on the large cartoons for the series. From these years (ca. 1547-49) also dates one of Vermeyen’s lesser-known works, the so-called Micault Triptych (fig. 1). The triptych originally stood in the chapel of the Holy Sacrament in St. Michael’s Cathedral in Brussels, where Charles V’s collector-general, Jean Micault and his wife Livine Cats van Welle had been laid to eternal rest and was probably commissioned in their memory by their second son, Nicolas.3 The middle piece depicts the biblical theme of the raising of Lazarus. In the wings are painted the late parents with their offspring behind them – the males on the left, the females on the right. Behind the men ancient Carthage, with the Bay of Tunis, serves as background. The scenery continues in the centre piece, where an improbable- looking mountain and an obelisk create a division between the Roman aqueduct of Carthage on the left and an antique temple on the right. In the background of the right wing are the aqueduct of Segovia, a primitive basilica, a domed tomb and a curious sarcophagus-shaped building.

  • Of the Ottoman Universe
    GAZA AS “THE THEORY OF EVERTHING” OF THE OTTOMAN UNIVERSE: UNDERSTANDING CONTACT AND CONFLICT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN by Deniz Özlem Çevik Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University, Montréal August 2016 A Thesis Submitted to McGill University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Deniz Özlem Çevik, 2016 0 Abstract This study is an attempt to evaluate how encounters between Muslims and non-Muslims in the early modern Mediterranean were represented by the Ottomans. It compares the representations from two periods, medieval Anatolia and early modern Mediterranean, to discover the transitivity of manners of narrating encounters from a region to another, and from a time period to another. The main objective is to discuss the importance of “gaza” concept, which literally means “holy war” and of one of the most heated topic among Ottomanists, as the dominant way of narrating the encounters among Muslims in two periods. Through a comparative reading of two texts that reflect this concept, a prose biography of a Muslim corsair from the sixteenth century and a warrior epic from the thirteenth century, it offers a two-layered analysis of the subject. In the first layer, the resemblances between socio-political structures of medieval Anatolia and that of early modern Mediterrenean that allowed “gaza” to migrate from one to another will be evaluated. In the second layer, it shows the discursive similarities that prove the transitivity of “gaza” as a narrative tool from one textual world to another. Résumé Ce mémoire a pour but d’analyser les réprésentations ottomanes des rencontres entre les musulmans et les chretiens dans la Méditerrannée durant l’époque moderne.
