It discusses cases that demonstrate the possibility of the Ottomans and the Spanish meddling in each other's internal politics. This chapter also looks into conspiracies that were considered manifestations of a much larger political reality underpinned by the ongoing imperial competition in the Mediterranean. It suggests that the large imperial blocs chose to engage with each other directly instead of fighting through proxies. They did this not in a simple micro conflict but rather at the Battle of Lepanto, where the mighty Ottoman navy faced the Holy League, a coalition of Christian powers from around the Mediterranean, and suffered great defeat.","PeriodicalId":213892,"journal":{"name":"Visions of Deliverance","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116595867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It looks at the cultural resources that the Morisco rebels relied on to construct that rhetoric and discourse of mobilization, focusing on the cultural idioms with which the Moriscos who participated in the rebellion expressed their grievances—the apocalyptic prognostications known as “jofores.” The “jofores” that circulated during the rebellion were aimed at creating affective associations that would reinforce the Muslim identity of the Morisco rebels and their potential supporters. This chapter also analyzes the significance of apocalyptic prophecy in mobilizing the Morisco population for collective action. More specifically, it demonstrates that the rebellion of the Moriscos in the Alpujarras mountains was encouraged by a discourse of martyrdom that was articulated in an apocalyptic key, an element that has hitherto been overlooked in the historiography of the Alpujarras revolt.","PeriodicalId":213892,"journal":{"name":"Visions of Deliverance","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133243773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter traces communications between the French and the Moriscos and captures the moment of agony when the Moriscos were banished from their homes and sent off to unknown lands with the expulsion decrees of 1609 and 1610. It also analyzes the incident of the ringing of the Bell of Velilla, which was considered a miraculous occurrence that spread to Italy and France. The ringing of the bell anticipated an imminent threat to Spain, that the Moriscos of Aragon and Valencia were going to rebel.","PeriodicalId":213892,"journal":{"name":"Visions of Deliverance","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117239933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
