Tractatus ludorum
Obra omnicomprensiva de la fenomenologia del juego bajo la mirada del antropologo.
El nuevo iberismo
El nuevo iberismo que propone el presente libro reflexiona en torno del nosotros ibérico y de la Iberia redescubierta, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, con preeminencia de la antropología, la historia, la literatura y la geopolítica. Los autores han ejercido un iberismo metodológico, aplicado a diferentes disciplinas, que pone en evidencia la singularidad de la comunidad de cultura ibérica, sin que ello represente un exclusivismo, una negación de la pluralidad interna o un nuevo nacionalismo como el bienintencionado viejo iberismo. Esa singularidad ibérica puede sernos útil para tejer alianzas multinivel geopolíticas, entre España y Portugal. Una referencia imprescindible pa...
Al-Andalus, ein Mythos. Ursprünge und Aktualität eines kulturellen Ideals
Este libro, con todo su aparato crítico e intelectual, quiere subrayar la legitimidad y actualidad del mito de al-Ándalus, dada su fundada bondad ético-antropológica, y su necesaria validez para comprender presente y futuro de las narraciones históricas mediterráneas. Parte para su análisis de los orígenes de este mito en el mundo antiguo mediterráneo, con la formación del mismo con la llegada de árabes y bereberes en el 711, su consolidación con los omeyas, el tratamiento crepuscular y liberador del romanticismo, la larga pervivencia del mito entre las élites marroquíes, etc. Pormenorizadamente se analizan todas las narraciones que han ayudado a la fijación de un mito transhi...
The Afterlife of al-Andalus
The first study to undertake a wide-ranging comparison of invocations of al-Andalus across the Arab and Hispanic worlds. Around the globe, concerns about interfaith relations have led to efforts to find earlier models in Muslim Iberia (al-Andalus). This book examines how Muslim Iberia operates as an icon or symbol of identity in twentieth and twenty-first century narrative, drama, television, and film from the Arab world, Spain, and Argentina. Christina Civantos demonstrates how cultural agents in the present ascribe importance to the past and how dominant accounts of this importance are contested. Civantoss analysis reveals that, alongside established narratives that use al-Andalus to create exclusionary, imperial identities, there are alternate discourses about the legacy of al-Andalus that rewrite the traditional narratives. In the process, these discourses critique their imperial and gendered dimensions and pursue intercultural translation.
Qué es el orientalismo
¿Qué es el orientalismo? A pesar de los años transcurridos desde la publicación del célebre libro de Edward Said, a finales de los setenta, que tuvo una gran repercusión mundial, y que aún hoy día es referente para cualquier estudio sobre el fenómeno imaginario del «Oriente», la pregunta sigue en el aire. El polimorfismo del orientalismo ha contribuido a mantenerlo activo en muchas áreas del conocimiento, sea en las artes plásticas, en la literatura, en la ciencia humanística, en la arquitectura, en la fotografía, en la música o en el cine. El orientalismo identificado con el mundo islámico, en particular, se nutre del exotismo, pero también de varias y complejas fuentes, c...
On Earth or in Poems
“With extraordinary linguistic range, Calderwood brings us the voices of Arabs and Muslims who have turned to the distant past of Spain to imagine their future.” —Hussein Fancy, Yale University How the memory of Muslim Iberia shapes art and politics from New York and Cordoba to Cairo and the West Bank. During the Middle Ages, the Iberian Peninsula was home not to Spain and Portugal but rather to al-Andalus. Ruled by a succession of Islamic dynasties, al-Andalus came to be a shorthand for a legendary place where people from the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe; Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in peace. That reputation is not entirely deserved, yet, as On Earth or in Po...
In the Footsteps of Spanish Colonialism in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea
The failure to manage cultural diversity in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea in an egalitarian manner has been linked to the hallmark of colonialism. First, because the policy practiced upon Arabs and Moroccan Imazighen since the French colonization comprised one of the reasonings employed to justify the pro-Arab policies developed after independence. Second, because the discriminatory policy deployed by Spain in Equatorial Guinea, was overridden by the installation of a dictatorship that established a system of Fang predominance. This book clarifies the degree to which the Spanish colonization is responsible for the present-day management of cultural diversity in both countries.
Visions of Deliverance
In Visions of Deliverance, Mayte Green-Mercado traces the circulation of Muslim and crypto-Muslim apocalyptic texts known as joferes through formal and informal networks of merchants, Sufis, and other channels of diffusion among Muslims and Christians across the Mediterranean from Constantinople and Venice to Morisco towns in eastern Spain. The movement of these prophecies from the eastern to the western edges of the Mediterranean illuminates strategies of Morisco cultural and political resistance, reconstructing both productive and oppositional interactions and exchanges between Muslims and Christians in the early modern Mediterranean. Challenging a historiography that has primarily underst...
