Casa Árabe is hosting this seminar to be held in Madrid on January 27.
The purpose of the meeting is to analyze the Islamic cultural legacy
from a comprehensive perspective.
The meeting was organized by professors María Marcos Cobaleda (University of Malaga) and Borja Franco Llopis (UNED) as part of the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action CA18129, “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750),” in the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Program for research and innovation.
The goal of the seminar is to create a forum for methodological exchanges to analyze the cultural scene in the Late Middle Ages in the Mediterranean world from different, complementary perspectives. Within this context, the intention is to achieve two different objectives: to create a space for dialogue, in which recent research results may be shared, and to establish new research networks made up of experts and young researchers, thus making it possible to develop new multidisciplinary lines of research on the Late Middle Ages.
Within this general framework, the main goal will be to analyze the Islamic cultural legacy from a comprehensive vantage point, based on the discussion of “position papers” focusing on the most relevant aspects of the participants’ research methodologies.
Throughout the four sessions devoted to the following topics: (1) Ornamentation and decoration as creators of inter-religious meanings; (2) Linguistic exchanges and new interpretations; (3) Loans and dialogues between East and West, and (4) Artistic transfers, experts and youth researchers in Art History, History, Literature, Archeology, Philosophy, Music, History of Religions and other related fields will be presenting new research works focusing on the late medieval Mediterranean from a methodological perspective.
The seminar will be presented by Antonio Urquízar (UNED), María Marcos Cobaleda (University of Malaga) and Borja Franco (UNED), and will include an opening presentation given by Alejandro García Sanjuán (University of Huelva) about “A Poisoned Legacy: Al-Andalus within Spanish nationalism.”
