LECTURES

 

Présentation de l’ouvrage ʽAbd al-Muʼmin. Mahdism and caliphate in the Islamic West (Onebook, 2021)

‘Abd al-Mu’min (1094–1163) did not establish the first caliphate in the Islamic West, but his Almohad empire encompassed more territory than any that had preceded it. After defeating the Almoravids and conquering their capital Marrakesh, he united for the first time the whole of North Africa west of Egypt, and eventually took in the southern part of the Iberian peninsula. In this volume, Maribel Fierro explores how ‘Abd al-Mu’min and the Almohads shaped the history of the western Mediterranean. From al- Mu’min’s encounter with Almohad founder Ibn Tumart to his administration of empire, his violent repression of opposition, and the flourishing of scholarship and thought during his reign, she reveals an intelligent ruler and a skilled military commander who sought to build a lasting caliphate across disparate and diverse societies.

L’Egyptien Ibn al-Qāsim al-ʽUtaqī (m. 191/806) et les origines de l’école légale malikite

When did Andalusi scholars start to produce local knowledge? How was it linked to the knowledge produced elsewhere? Which peculiarities singled it out? In my lecture, building on the online database Historia de los Autores y Transmisores de al-Andalus (HATA) https://www.eea.csic.es/red/hata/, I will offer an overview of the process of reception of Arabo-Islamic knowledge in al-Andalus and the emergence and formation of a literate milieu.

La production intellectuelle dans al-Andalus (VIIIe-XVe siécles) : bilan et perspectives
 

Medina played a crucial role in the ways Muslims of the Islamic West constructed their religiosity and followed the law, as well as in the political legitimization of their rulers. This role will be explored through an innovative practice, the sending of letters to be read at the Prophet’s grave in Medina, the development of a ‘virtual’ visitation of this grave, and a curious tale of how two Iberian Christians attempted to destroy it.

Al-Andalus dans le présent : usage et abus

Al-Andalus is many things, among others a ‘combat-concept’ as recently described in Rachel Scott, AbdoolKarim Vakil and Julian Weiss (eds.), Al-Andalus in Motion: Travelling concepts and Cross-Cultural Contexts, and as such it is used to fight battles that can produce victims and that vary – sometimes considerably – according to where the audiences are located and their religious, ideological, political and national allegiances or interests.
