CFP International Conference: Before Orientalism: The “images” of Islam, 15th-17th Centuries (18-19 May: Madrid) – DEADLINE : 1 February 2017

Papers proposals are being accepted for the international conference: Before Orientalism: The “images” of Islam in the Iberian Peninsula (15th – 17th c) and their Mediterranean Connections, to be held at the  Fundación BBVA. Palacio del Marqués de Salamanca. Paseo de Recoletos10, Madrid, on 18 and 19 May 2017.

In recent years, the study of religious otherness has experienced a significant surge. Regarding the perception of Islam in Europe, the Romantic dichotomous vision between the orientalist attraction and the rejection and hatred is being left behind. The purpose of this conference is to analyse from a pluri-disciplinar perspective, which conceptions or images of Islam were developed, from the end of the Middle Ages to the decline of the Austria dynasty in the Iberian Peninsula and other Mediterranean enclaves closely connected to the Hispanic Crown. The stereotypes which have traditionally limited historical studies will be addressed; also, the dissociation between the imaged produced by literature and the visual discourses of several
social strata which were in closer contact with Islam will be analysed.

The topics addressed during the conference will be:
1. How the (literary and visual) image of Islam was created and developed in the Iberian Peninsula during the 15th to 17th centuries.
2. What are the convergences and divergences between the spheres of the letters and the arts.
3. The value of stereotypes in the building of the image and identity of Muslims.
4. The weight of 19th century literary and artistic historiography in the blurring of the Medieval and Modern images of religious otherness.
5. The contribution of 16th and 17th orientalist images in the later construction of 19th century orientalism.
6. Is it possible to elaborate a cartography of the representations of Muslims in the different Hispanic territories?
7. Was there an invisible Islam? How was it materialized?

Papers submitted must be of maximum 500 words in Spanish, English, Italian or French, together with a brief summary of the research record of the author, and main publications. The deadline is 1 February 2017.
Acceptance of papers will be communicated 10 February.

The papers must be submitted to proyecto.impi@gmail.com. Oral communications will be 15-20 minutes.

The registration fee is €50. Registration entitles participants to attendance and publication of the texts (once approved by peer review procedure). To participate in the publication it is necessary to attend the conference to present the communication.
