Within the framework of the NAZAMER Research Project, an International Congress on “Nasrid and Marinid Women in the Medieval Islamic Mediterranean (XIII-XV Centuries)” has been organized, which will take place in the Carmen de la Victoria   on 6-7 June 2019.  Conceived from a multidisciplinary perspective that will cover Arab and Islamic studies, medieval history, archaeology and architecture, it will address different aspects relating to the women of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and the Marinid kingdom of Fes during the appointed era, as well as comparing their vital realities with those of the female collectives of other contemporary societies, such as that of the Mamluk kingdom of Egypt. As a practical activity, a guided tour (upon registration with fee on the first order of reception) will be offered for the women’s spaces of the Alhambra by the afternoon of June 7.  The Congress may be validated by 1 credit for students of the Degree of Arab and Islamic Studies and the Degree of History if at least 80% of the attendance is met and a critical memory of the contents offered in it is delivered.

The researcher of our Research Project, Desirée López Bernal, will give this afternoon a conference in the Athenaeum of Granada to publicize the scope and objectives of NAZAMER and its contributions to the study of women in Islamic societies of the medieval Mediterranean. The said teacher will talk about what research is like in Arabic and Islamic studies, paying special attention to the sources that inform us about these groups of women. Finally, it will address the presence of these in the literature of adab and, in particular, through the work of a 15th-century Grenadian literate, bringing us closer to stories starring female characters, highlighting the most relevant data these books provide us about the female universe of the medieval Islamic West.

Last Tuesday, March 12, Barbara Boloix gave a lecture on “Nasrid women: between presence and invisibilization”, organized by the Association of Tourism Guides of Granada Taqa. As its title suggests, during his speech he reviewed the textual testimonies preserved in Arab sources describing both Nazari women and details of their activities in the daily, social and family, economic, political and diplomatic life, among other aspects that were analyzed from a gender perspective applied to scientific research of the history and society of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada (XIII-XV centuries).

Bárbara Boloix Gallardo will give a lecture entitled “The social reality of women in Nasrid times: between presence and invisibilization” within the Seminar “Medieval women: from topics to social realities”, organized by Dr. Angela Muñoz Fernández (University of Castilla-La Mancha). Throughout this talk, Dr. Boloix will discuss different aspects of the vital situation of women in the Nasrid era, based on the data preserved in the Arab-Islamic and Christian sources, also paying attention to how they have consciously ensured in part the passage of women through history and the footprint left by them in societies.
