Connected Histories of the Renaissance: Music in al-Andalus Part One & Two | Dr. Dwight Reynolds

Описание: These lectures center on music in Muslim Spain (al-Andalus), highlighting connections between music in this region, the Mediterranean, and Renaissance Europe more broadly. They were presented in August 2020 as part of the CCAS Summer Teacher Institute 2020: “Connected Histories of the Renaissance.”

This lecture is part of Summer Teacher Institute 2020: "Connected Histories of the Renaissance", held from August 3 - 7, 2020 by Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University. The Renaissance is often characterized as a humanistic revival of classical influences and an awakening of scientific endeavor and the arts. At the same time, the Renaissance expressed the growing connectedness of Europe with the globe. Stimuli from outside opened new worlds of ideas, arts, and material culture. People—Africans, Asians, Americans, and Europeans—moved over land and sea, introducing new foods, objects, clothing, and technologies and changing the way they viewed themselves and the scope of the earth itself. STI 2020 explores topics that illustrate the impact of this movement of people, animals, and objects on a new global scale. This program is made possible by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education, which is funding a National Resource Center on the Middle East and North Africa at Georgetown University, and by support from the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown.
