Abstract

Following the conquest of Islamic Majorca in 1229, the Christian settler-colonizers embraced a purist identity that rejected altogether the island’s Islamic past and its artistic heritage. Visually, this new identity found its expression in the form of a clean, restrained, and mathematical gothic style. Palma’s towering gothic monuments embodied an ideological attempt at cultural erasure that has shaped Mallorquin identity to the present day. However, through the interstices of collective memory and material evidence it becomes clear that Islam and the Islamicate lingered beyond the singular point of the conquest through the continuity of local artistic production, the arrival of new Muslim artisans, imports of Islamicate objects, and the survival of monuments. The result was a hierarchical aesthetic system with two axes: the first consisted of the superimposed monumental, public, and official Gothic, while the second consisted of portable and less durable Islamicate objects that circulated in the gothic halls.

哥特式大厅里的伊斯兰商品:帕尔马·德·马略卡岛伊斯兰历史的余世

1229年征服伊斯兰马略卡岛后，基督教定居者殖民者信奉纯粹主义身份，完全拒绝该岛的伊斯兰历史及其艺术遗产。从视觉上看，这种新身份以一种干净、克制和数学哥特式风格的形式得到了表达。帕尔马高耸的哥特式纪念碑体现了一种文化抹杀的意识形态尝试，这种尝试塑造了马洛昆至今的身份。然而，通过集体记忆和物证的空隙，很明显，通过当地艺术生产的连续性、新的穆斯林工匠的到来、伊斯兰物品的进口以及纪念碑的幸存，伊斯兰教和伊斯兰主义在征服的单一点之外挥之不去。其结果是形成了一个具有两个轴线的等级美学体系：第一个轴线由叠加的纪念碑、公共和官方哥特式组成，而第二个轴线由在哥特式大厅中流通的可携带且不太耐用的伊斯兰物品组成。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
