Coexistence in Medieval Spain: Jews, Christians, and Muslims

University of Colorado System

Об этом курсе: This course explores Jewish, Christian, and Muslim intercultural relations in Iberia from the Visigothic era (6th century CE) until the creation of Queen Isabel I and King Ferdinand II Catholic Spain (late 15th century). We evaluate the many identities of the peninsula known as Christian Hispania, Jewish Sefarad, and Islamic al-Andalus. We trace the origins and trajectory of conflict between these communities (the Muslim conquest of Spain, Christian Reconquista, prohibitions blocking intermixing of peoples, and expulsions). We aim to understand conflicts within communities as well, such as the tensions between Christian Arian Visigoths and native Catholic Iberians or the fundamentalist North African Almohad Dynasty that rejected the Spanish Umayyad Caliphate’s preference for religious tolerance. We delve into an appreciation of collaboration and coexistence among these communities. We explore the unique role of the Jewish community who Muslims and Christians depended upon as political and cultural intermediaries as well as their intellectual collaborators. We find the history of how peoples attempted to create and manage viable diverse communities. As we study this history, the Honors Track will employ an investigative process (“The Historian’s Craft”) that involves viewing, reading, analyzing, and reflecting on events, peoples, places, and artifacts.

Для кого этот курс: What type of student are you? Casual observer. Interested learner. Engaged investigator. When I first began studying the history of medieval Spain -- almost thirty-years ago as an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin -- it was just a topic that I was curious about. That changed. Garrison Hall and its History Department became a gateway to a new way of viewing our world. The history of coexistence in medieval Spain shaped the rest of my life, first as an undergraduate (1988-1992) and later as a doctoral candidate (2002-2008), and I believe it might do the same for you. Medieval Spain is one of these places that invites your curiosity to the get the best of you! What I'd you to do as you start this course during Week 1 is to ask yourself a few questions so that you can maximize your enjoyment of the course. The questions you will ask are: Why are you interested in medieval Spain and its history of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interrelations? What do you hope to learn from this course? How do you learn and what types of information are most meaningful to you? How much time and effort do you want to dedicate to this course? After completing the course, do you think you will want to study more about Spain and its history ? These questions and your responses will help determine what type of student are you. Remember: There is no ideal type of student. Find what works best for you!

НЕДЕЛЯ 1
Introduction to Medieval Spain and Coexistence (418-711 CE)
This week introduces the idea of co-existence in medieval Spain. We begin our study of medieval Spain by briefly viewing Roman Spain and then learning about the Visigoths. Supplemental information places medieval Iberia within the contexts of European, Byzantine, and Islamic civilizations. The honors section of the course introduces "The Historian's Craft" and the task of "viewing".

НЕДЕЛЯ 4
Creating Conversos and Rejecting Religious Diversity: Catholic Spain (1347-1502 CE)
This section of the course presents the end of coexistence in medieval Spain, which was characterized by the creation of new types of peoples (conversos, Jewish converts to Christianity), religious intolerance and expulsions. Multiple examples of the fluctuations in the relationships of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, are examined as Catholic Spain took shape. Special attention is also directed to Spanish archives that preserve this history. We take a closer look at the end of convivencia in the city of Plasencia, Spain, and view a digital video narration. As the Spanish Middle Ages did not occur in a vacuum, we share with you eight scholarly endeavors from the "Global Middle Ages" Project. The honors section of the course continues with our study of the Historian's Craft and the task of "reflecting" and features the music of the Texas Early Music Project.
