  La España africana: historias de dominio, de resistencia y de migración

  Curso de verano de la Universidad de Alicante

  El objetivo del curso es, por un lado, analizar los procesos de gestión de la diversidad cultural de la colonización española en Marruecos y Guinea Ecuatorial desde una perspectiva diacrónica que permita explicar las transformaciones sociopolíticas internas actuales que se han desarrollado de forma específica en casa contexto. Por otro lado, se trata de abordar la manera en que los migrantes de estos orígenes expresan su identidad cultural, se integran en la sociedad española, e influyen en sus países de origen.

  Arabic Chancellery Documents through the Prism of Historicity

  Writing, Vocabulary, Syntax, and Intertextuality from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Kātib (d. 750) to al-Qalqashandī (d. 1418)

  This conference will address the evolution of chancellery styles, their regional diversity, and the history of the rhymed prose (sajʿ), this language of authority that was supposed to obey rules definitively fixed by the Prophet or the first secretaries of the Islamic Empire. What were the technical modalities for innovation? On what semantic, lexical, syntactical, and/or graphic levels did it manifest? Rather than on norms, codes, and rules, studies will focus on writing styles, orthographic variants, atypical handwriting, deletion, the transgression of norms, semantic revitalization, neologisms, and the variety of styles for citing the Quran or referencing ḥadīth. We are seeking to renew study of a corpus considered not as a fixed and ossified text, technical and off-putting, but as a living, evolving, and diverse ensemble.

  Changes in field systems

  Comparatives Approaches: Pace, Contexts and Forms

  The aim of this conference is to revisit the issue of the evolution of field systems on the long term in different regions and contexts. The discussion doesn’t concern how we can know field systems nor does it concern field systems themselves. The purpose of this conference is to study the impact of the contexts in which field systems evolve and to analyse how and at which pace the evolutions happen. The aim is to measure the impact of “crises” (of whatever nature: economic, political, environmental, etc.) on the evolution of field systems comparing the evolutions that can be observed in different regions and/or at different times. The main idea is to ask the question of how crises and political and economic incentives have an impact on the evolution of field systems in different historical contexts.
