  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila
    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

  • Introduction: Representing Others in Medieval Iberia 1
    NOTES Introduction: Representing Others in Medieval Iberia 1. Bhabha, Location of Culture, 227–228, uses the term “in-between” to refer to the spaces of diaspora, where “migrant and minority discourse” negotiate cultural difference. 2. For the sake of ease of reading, Arabic and Hebrew consonants have been transliterated by the closest Romance character. I have indicated long and short vowels in Arabic terms and proper names for which there are no accepted English transcriptions. Commonly recognized English spellings for better-known Hebrew and Arabic names and terms have been used. While I include in the text English translations of the material I am analyzing, I have included in the notes citations of all primary texts in the original Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, or Spanish. 3. Echoing the opinion of Catherine Brown, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen has pointed out that in general the “Middle Ages have been characterized too often as a field of undifferentiated otherness against which modernity (and therefore the possibility of a premodern postcoloniality) emerged.” Cohen, introduc- tion to Postcolonial Middle Ages, 4; see also Brown, “In the Middle.” Modern critics have constructed medieval Iberia, and particularly al-Andalus, as sites of political and social otherness in order to offer an alternative to contempo- rary social and political attitudes of intolerance. D. Fairchild Ruggles calls for an approach to al-Andalus that recognizes it as a site of problematic cultural intermingling that anticipates more modern colonial spaces. “Mothers of a Hybrid Dynasty,” 65–66.

While participating in the Problems Without Passports program, Lidow described how he and 17 other students traveled to Finland, Russia and Sweden to meet with diplomatic, energy and environmental experts. Led by professors Steven Lamy and Robert English, they explored not only how long the Earth’s Arctic ice can be sustained, but also how governance and the forging of transnational partner- ships can endure after the ice disappears. Celebrants also heard presentations by two other students: sociol- ogy major Jasmine Torres ’14, whose goal is to be an advocate for foster youth, and neuroscience doctoral student Glenn Fox, who uses functional brain imag- ing to research the emotion of gratitude. Together with Lidow, they demonstrated how USC Dornsife is prepar- ing its students to be the next generation of leaders who will make critical ad- vances in the areas of sus- tainability, human health and our communities.
