课程名称：中世纪西班牙的共存：犹太人、基督徒与穆斯林 概述：本课程探讨了从公元六世纪的西哥特时期到十五世纪末女王伊莎贝尔一世和费迪南德二世天主教西班牙的成立期间，伊比利亚地区犹太人、基督徒和穆斯林之间的跨文化关系。我们评估了半岛上多重身份的表现，如基督教西班牙、犹太教塞法拉德和伊斯兰教阿尔安达卢斯。课程追溯了这些社区之间冲突的起源和轨迹，包括穆斯林征服西班牙、基督教收复失地运动、阻碍各族人民交融的禁令以及驱逐政策。同时，还旨在理解社区内部的冲突，如基督教阿里乌派西哥特人与本土天主教伊比利亚人之间的紧张关系，以及拒绝西班牙乌马雅王朝宗教宽容的北非阿尔莫哈德王朝。我们深入探讨了这些社区之间合作与共存的独特历史，以及犹太社区在政治和文化中作为中介的独特角色，受到穆斯林和基督徒的依赖。 课程大纲： 1. **中世纪西班牙及共存的介绍（418-711 CE）** - 本周介绍中世纪西班牙的共存理念，通过简要回顾罗马西班牙及西哥特人来展开研究，为后续学习提供背景。 2. **发展动态文化：伊斯兰阿尔安达卢斯与犹太塞法拉德（711-1212 CE）** - 该部分深入研究伊斯兰阿尔安达卢斯和犹太塞法拉德，包括穆斯林征服西哥特西班牙的过程，以及宗教之间和内部的冲突和合作。我们还探讨了伊斯兰科学及西班牙犹太人的黄金时代，并观赏伊斯兰艺术和建筑。 3. **铸造基督教未来：基督教西班牙（711-1212 CE）与卡斯蒂利亚的崛起（1212-1347 CE）** - 继续探讨西班牙基督教文化如何影响政治、宗教、社会、和经济问题，并研究卡斯蒂利亚和莱昂王国的崛起及阿方索十世的影响。 4. **创造转换者并拒绝宗教多样性：天主教西班牙（1347-1502 CE）** - 该部分讲述了中世纪西班牙共存的终结，以新型民族的出现（犹太人皈依基督教的转换者）、宗教不宽容及驱逐为特征。 5. **解读伊比利亚的过去：我们对证据的评估** - 最后一部分邀请荣誉课程的学生解读和评估来自中世纪西班牙的历史文物，包括物质对象、建筑或手稿，通过同行评审项目深化对历史的理解。 该课程旨在通过历史的视角，让学生理解和分析中世纪西班牙的复杂性，增强对文化多样性和历史共存的认识。
Name:Introduction to Medieval Spain and Coexistence (418-711 CE)
Description: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".
Name:DEVELOPING DYNAMIC CULTURES: ISLAMIC AL-ANDALUS AND JEWISH SEFARAD (711-1212 CE)
Description:In this section of the course, we advance our investigation of medieval Spain to learn about Islamic al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) and Jewish Sefarad (Jewish Spain). This includes a study of the Islamic conquest of Visigothic Spain and the subsequent development of the Umayyad Dynasty. We evaluate the complexities of conflicts between religious groups and within religious groups. We witness interfaith collaboration. Islamic sciences are presented as is the Golden Age of the Spanish Jews. We view Islamic art and architecture. Lastly, in our honors section we continue with our study of the Historian's Craft and the task of "reading".
Name:Forging A Christian Future: Christian Spain (711-1212 CE) and the Castilian Ascent In Spain (1212-1347 CE)
Description:First, we continue with an investigation of the third principal culture of Iberian Peninsula -- Spanish Christian Hispania. We seek out more specific examples of the Christian kingdom's impact on political, religious, social, intellectual, and economic issues. Next, we examine the rise of the Spanish Christian Kingdom of Castile and Leon and the impact of King Alfonso X "The Learned". We study how Spanish Christians created culture through material objects and architecture. In addition, we explore the complications of Christians governing religious minorities in their lands. The honors section of the course continues with our study of the Historian's Craft and the task of "analyzing".
Name:Creating Conversos and Rejecting Religious Diversity: Catholic Spain (1347-1502 CE)
Description: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.
Name:Interpreting Iberia's Past: Our Evaluation of the Evidence
Description:The final section of the course prompts students in the Honors Track to interpret and evaluate a historical artifact from medieval Spain (a material object, architecture, or a manuscript). This peer-reviewed project is not a required to complete the course as a regular student.
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.
