Introduction: Hans-Werner Goetz, Historisches Seminar, Universität Hamburg

Details: ‘The Mediterranean Other and the Other Mediterranean: Perspective of

Alterity in the Middle Ages’:

For many decades, the medieval Mediterranean has repeatedly been put

to use in order to address, understand, or explain current issues. Lately,

it tends to be seen either as an epitome of transcultural entanglements

or - quite on the contrary - as an area of endemic religious conflict. In

this paper, I would like to reflect on such readings of the Mediterranean

and relate them to several approaches within a dynamic field of historical

research referred to as ‘xenology’. I will therefore discuss different

modalities of constructing self and otherness in the central and western

Mediterranean during the High and Late Middle Ages. The multiple forms

of interaction between politically dominant and subaltern religious

communities or the conceptual challenges posed by trans-Mediterranean

mobility are but two of the vibrant arenas in which alterity was

necessarily both negotiated and formed during the medieval millennium.

Otherness is however not reduced to the sphere of social and thus human

relations. I will therefore also reflect on medieval societies’ dealings with

the Mediterranean Sea as a physical and oftentimes alien space.

‘Drawing Boundaries: Inclusion and Exclusion in Medieval Islamic

Societies’:

The Arab expansion of the 7th and 8th centuries created a new political

and social community that was defined by certain elements, both

ideological and cultural, that were partaken by all its members. Shared

religion and language played a prominent role, but crucially some of

these elements were also visible, as shown by recently uncovered

evidence from seals, cemeteries, or early archaeological sites. Yet by

defining itself, medieval Islam also defined ‘the others’, those who simply

did not share in these identifying features. However, these features were

also social and cultural, which tended to blur the lines between Muslims

and non-Muslim communities living within recently-conquered

territories. Recent research demonstrates that, although the conquests

were an important milestone in the creation of this new community, its

formation was far from complete. Close contact with the conquered

populations helped to shape the traits of the community, which refused

to be assimilated into pre-existing ideological or cultural frameworks.

Thus, otherness in medieval Islamic societies reveals itself to be more

nuanced concept than is usually perceived: rigid and uncompromising

when it helps to draw distinctions in order to prevent any form of

assimilation; flexible and adaptable when it fosters processes of social

integration.

KEYNOTE LECTURE 2017: THE OTHER PART OF THE WORLD FOR LATE

MEDIEVAL LATIN CHRISTENDOM (Language: English)

Felicitas Schmieder, Historisches Institut, FernUniversität Hagen

Introduction: Hans-Werner Goetz, Historisches Seminar, Universität Hamburg

Details: The final goal of history for medieval Christians was a completely

Christian world and Christians had the moral obligation to actively

achieve this goal. Consequently, the basic structure of the Latin Christian

world view was dichotomic: Christians and non-Christians, we and all

sorts of other peoples, Latin Christian homeland and the rest of the earth.

During the history of the high and later Middle Ages, the world grew

bigger from the point of view of the Latin Christians and the reaching of

the goal grew more distant. The experiences connected to this

development and the actions demanded by it made constant re-

calibrations necessary of who and what the other was, how the other

could be defined, explained, and dealt with, in what way the other could

relate to the ‘we’, and finally, what the ‘we’ was. While this is an

interesting and multifaceted process in itself, it is also deeply related to

present questions of identity in Europe, to the very essence of the

question how ‘Europe’ could be defined and who ‘the other’ is as opposed

to present day Europeans. Both aspects can hardly be separated by

historians who work conscious of their own cultural dependency, and

both aspects will consequently be addressed in the lecture.

Please note that admission to this event will be on a first-come, first-

served basis as there will be no tickets. Please ensure that you arrive as

early as possible to avoid disappointment.
