Interfaith Relationships and Perceptions of the Other in the Medieval Mediterranean
This book is a collaborative contribution that expands our understanding of how interfaith relations, both real and imagined, developed across medieval Iberia and the Mediterranean. The volume pays homage to the late Olivia Remie Constable’s scholarship and presents innovative, thought-provoking, interdisciplinary investigations of cross-cultural exchange, ranging widely across time and geography. Divided into two parts, “Perceptions of the ‘Other’” and “Interfaith relations,” this volume features scholars engaging with church art, literature, historiography, scientific treatises, and polemics, in order to study how the religious “Other” was depicted to serve different purposes and audiences. There are also microhistories that examine the experiences of individual families, classes, and communities as they interacted with one another in their own specific contexts. Several of these studies draw their source material from church and state archives as well as jurisprudential texts, and span the centuries from the late medieval to early modern periods.
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...
Spanning the Strait
Spanning the Strait: Studies in Unity in the Western Mediterranean brings together a multidisciplinary collection of essays that examines the deep connections that bound together the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib in the medieval and early modern periods. Six articles on topics ranging from the eighth-century slave trade to sixteenth-century apocalypticism trace and analyze movement, mutual influence and patterns shared in the face of political, religious, and cultural difference. By transcending traditional disciplinary and temporal divisions, this collection of essays highlights the long history of contact and exchange that united the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. A comprehensive introduction by the editors contextualizes the articles within the last half-century of scholarship and salient contemporary trends. Contributors are Adam Gaiser, Linda G. Jones, Hussein Fancy, S.J. Pearce, David Coleman, and Marya T. Green-Mercado.
Religious Interactions in Europe and the Mediterranean World
This edited collection brings national and religious narratives into conversation with each other, helping readers to formulate a more sophisticated comprehension of the social and cultural factors involved in the religious tolerance and intolerance that has taken place in Europe and western Asia, and continues today. Bringing together scholars from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America this volume embodies an international collaboration of unusual range. Its comparative approach will be of interest to scholars of Religion and History, particularly those with an emphasis on interreligious relations and religious tolerance.
Governing the Galleys: Jurisdiction, Justice, and Trade in the Squadrons of the Hispanic Monarchy (Sixteenth-Seventeenth Centuries)
The development of the Spanish Navy in the early modern Mediterranean triggered a change in the balance of political and economic power for the coastal populations of the Hispanic Monarchy. The establishment of new permanent squadrons, endowed with very broad jurisdictional powers, was the cause of many conflicts with the local authorities and had a direct influence on the economic and production activities of the region. Manuel Lomas analyzes the progressive consolidation of these institutions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, their influence on the mechanisms of justice and commerce, and how they contributed to the reconfiguration of the jurisdictional system that governed the maritime trade in the Mediterranean.
The Early Modern Hispanic World
This book engages with new ways of thinking about boundaries of the early modern Hispanic past, looking at current scholarly techniques.
Aproximaciones de contexto al castillo palacio de Alaquàs
A raíz del centenario de la declaración del castillo-palacio de Alaquàs como Bien de Interés Cultural, el volumen aborda los rasgos que caracterizaron la nobleza valenciana durante la Edad Moderna, el bandolerismo que se ejerció en sus señoríos, el ambiente cultural al que tuvo acceso y en el que contribuyó, con especial atención al humanismo y el erasmismo, así como las casas señoriales que les sirvieron de hogar, sedes de administración y símbolos de poder.
El bandolerismo morisco valenciano
El bandolerismo morisco en la Valencia de la segunda mitad del Quinientos contribuyó a forjar la idea de la imposible asimilación de los cristianos nuevos de moros y su consideración como una recurrente amenaza para la paz pública y la integridad del reino. De acuerdo con la interpretación predominante, sus acciones cobran sentido si se insertan en el contexto de la lucha entre Cristiandad e Islam. Sin embargo, el estudio al detalle de las cuadrillas, revela aspectos hasta ahora desconocidos que se dan de bruces con la imagen del bandido morisco como guerrero de la fe o vengador de la minoría oprimida. Asimismo, la investigación llevada a cabo pone en cuestión la creencia igualmente arraigada de que los bandidos moriscos valencianos se concertaron con agentes turcos, corsarios norteafricanos o infiltrados granadinos para traer en jaque a la monarquía hispánica.
Con mi voz sonora
Este estudio sobre las campanas históricas santiaguinas devela aspectos relacionados con el sonido nacional (tanto en su experiencia colonial como republicana) y con el impacto social de los toques de campana a lo largo de la historia de Chile, vinculando su sonido a conceptos tales como el tiempo, la fe, el poder, la celebración, la ciudad, lo público y lo privado. Además construye una aproximación a las campanas “desde fuera de las torres” que permite su conocimiento como medida temporal, como medio de comunicación masivo, como complemento de fiestas y ceremonias de la muerte, y como instrumento de manipulación espiritual y política.
Beatas
El objetivo de este libro es analizar el mundo de unas mujeres que no aceptaron enclaustrarse y que decidieron vivir solas o en comunidad con otras mujeres, manteniendo su libertad de movimientos y autonomía de vida, pero sujetas a los superiores de las terceras órdenes religiosas en las que profesaron. Mujeres cautas e inteligentes, que sabían los peligros a los que podían exponerse y que hicieron creíbles sus experiencias espirituales a la sociedad.
