Revisiting al-Andalus: Perspectives on the Material Culture of Islamic Iberia and Beyond de Glaire Anderson

Revisiting al-Andalus: Perspectives on the Material Culture of Islamic Iberia and Beyond: The Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World, cartea 34

Editat de Glaire Anderson, Mariam Rosser-Owen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2007
Revisiting al-Andalus brings together a range of recent scholarship on the material culture of Islamic Iberia, highlighting especially the new directions that have developed in the Anglo-American branch of this field since the 1992 catalogue of the influential exhibition, Al-Andalus: the Art of Islamic Spain. Together with examples of recent Spanish scholarship on medieval architecture and urbanism, the volume’s contributors (historians of art and architecture, archaeologists, and architects) explore topics such as the relationship between Andalusi literature and art; architecture, urbanism, and court culture; domestic architecture; archaeology as a tool for analyzing economic and architectural history; cultural transfer between the Iberian Peninsula and the New World; 19th-century “rediscovery” of al-Andalus; and modern architectural and historiographical attempts to construct an Andalusi cultural identity.
Contributors include: Antonio Almagro, Glaire D. Anderson, Rebecca Bridgman, María Judith Feliciano, Kathryn Ferry, Pedro Jiménez, Julio Navarro, Camila Mileto, Antonio Orihuela, Jennifer Roberson, Cynthia Robinson, Mariam Rosser-Owen, Antonio Vallejo Triano, and Fernando Vegas.

Recenzii

“Es de agradecer… que en el libro se intenten abordar los temas con puntos de vista renovados. Los artículos proponen nuevos enfoques… y algunos lo hacen desde atractivas aproximaciones pluridisciplinares que abren perspectivas inéditas en el estudio de la cultura material de al-Andalus.”
Susana Calvo Capilla, Al-Qantara XXX/1 (January-June 2009), pp. 274-9
“Revisiting al-Andalus marque cependant une inflexion d’importance par rapport à son illustre devancier… Les ouvelles perspectives ici ménagées font la part belle à la réflexion archéologique et à l’étude de la culture matérielle... des bonnes surprises contenues dans Revisiting al-Andalus... Destiné avant tout à un public anglo-saxon, l’ouvrage remplit bien son rôle de «produit d’appel» à de nouvelles investigations portant sur al-Andalus. ...Formons l’espoir que Revisiting al-Andalus suscite, en la matière, de nouvelles vocations dans le champ académique anglais et américain, et permette aux remarquables travaux des collègues espagnols et portugais (et plus largement européens) de connaître enfin l’audience et la reconnaissance qu’ils méritent.”
Jean-Pierre van Staëvel, Bulletin Critique des Annales Islamologiques (BCAI) 24 (2008), pp. 153-5
