SUMMARY:"Medieval Spain: Muslims\, Christians\, Jews" Zoom Talk-Rietveld-Th
 ur Nov.14
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom for another Salon lecture on 
 "Medieval Spain: Muslims\, Christians\, Jews" for Ipso Facto by Dr. James 
 Rietveld on Thursday\, November 14\, 8 pm.\n\nFollow this link to join us:
 \nPay What You Wish: www.eventbrite.com/e/1027482857887\n\nWhen we set out
  on our quest to discover the history of Medieval Spain\, we find ourselve
 s encountering many conflicting geographical\, religious\, political\, and
  ideological forces: North versus South\; Europe versus North Africa\; Cat
 holic Christianity versus Arian Christianity and then\, in turn\, Catholic
  Christianity versus Judaism and then Islam\; a mentality of accommodation
  and compromise versus a mentality of rejection and intolerance\; polices 
 of acceptance versus polices expulsion\; religious rhetoric versus pragmat
 ic plain-speech\; and\, of course\, cultural identity versus cultural ambi
 valence.\n\nYet one single thread moves through them all despite the contr
 adictions\, the Spaniards ultimately sought to unite the Iberian Peninsula
  as one!\n\nThis unity was sometimes pursued through attempting to assert 
 the domination of one ideology over the other. Other times\, this unity wa
 s sought through consensus\, with those advocating this view believing the
 re could be unity in diversity.\n\nWhat makes the history of Medieval Spai
 n so interesting is that just when it appears one force will be triumphant
  over all others\, suddenly\, out of nowhere\, another force or event occu
 rs (usually violent) completely reversing the situation.\n\nUnlike the ebb
  and flow types of transformations characteristic of many lands at some po
 int\, it is the marked style of Spain to be drastic\, severe\, moody and b
 rash.\n\nHistorically and religiously speaking\, Spain had much at stake g
 lobally\, for the mentality created in this very atmosphere during the Med
 ieval period would eventually influence first the violent epic of the Crus
 ades\, and then the rest of the world as a result of Spanish and Portugues
 e colonization in Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas.\n\nEven before this pe
 riod\, because Spain was a bridge between Christian and Islamic domains\, 
 whatever occurred here in the way of ideology and scholarship\, vastly imp
 acted both the history of Europe and the history of the Islamic world.\n\n
 Join us for a fascinating journey into a formative cultural and religious 
 period in Medieval Spain's history.\n\nThis lecture will be posted on the
