abstract:This article analyzes a bundle of tensions tied to the (self-)representations of the larger Mediterranean subnational islands: island-specific identities are often used in aspiring to political independence and in moving toward linguistic unification, even when they run counter to historically evolved complexity and contemporary cultural heterogeneity. Taking Sardinia as an example, this article questions the construction of sardità along two main axes: language policy and literary production. The authors begin by noting that Sardinian often serves as an umbrella term for several local linguistic varieties whose attribution to that language is in part contested. The authors next assert that the self-conception of the islanders, as reflected in Sardinian literature, is also partly stamped by outside perspectives. Focusing on the case of Sardinia, but with comparative outlooks on Corsica and Sicily, this article shows that the tensions between homogenization trends and cultural-linguistic complexity undermine and at the same time found claims of island exceptionalism.

abstract:This article focuses on some questions concerning the complex phenomenon of the perpetuation of early modern military activities through a case study of the presence of the capi da guerra, foreign military commanders in the Venetian service during the War of Crete situated in its province of Dalmatia and Albania. The fact alone that more than half of the capi da guerra engaged in the War of Crete were actually veterans from the Thirty Years' War, many of them situated in Dalmatia, shows the significance of their impact on the Venetian army. These military entrepreneurs, the main actors in the exchange of military knowledge, combined with the growing internationalization of European armies of the time, both reflect and produce the dynamic exchange and adaptations of military innovations that affected the whole continent, including such borderland areas as the coast of the eastern Adriatic.
摘要:本文通过对克里特岛和阿尔巴尼亚省克里特岛战争期间威尼斯军队中外国军事指挥官capi da guerra的存在的案例研究,重点讨论了现代早期军事活动长期存在的复杂现象的一些问题。仅参与克里特岛战争的游击队中就有一半以上实际上是三十年战争的老兵,其中许多人位于达尔马提亚,这一事实就表明了他们对威尼斯军队的影响。这些军事企业家是军事知识交流的主要参与者,加上当时欧洲军队日益国际化,既反映并产生了影响整个大陆的军事创新的动态交流和适应,包括亚得里亚海东部海岸等边境地区。

abstract:Mayorazgo is a conditional property tenure that arose in the central Iberian kingdom of Castile during the later Middle Ages and by 1500 had come to dominate property holding within that kingdom's aristocracy. An estate held in mayorazgo could not be alienated from the family's possession or divided among heirs. Instead, it had to be passed down intact to the next in line. Mayorazgo continued as a significant economic force in Iberia until its disestablishment in 1836. While primarily utilized for holding landed wealth, a family mayorazgo could also incorporate rents and material items, such as money, arms and armor, artwork and books, documents—in short, anything the family wished to maintain possession of over time. Although the origins of mayorazgo date at least as far back as the mid-thirteenth century, this form of tenure underwent a great expansion during and because of warfare that dominated the peninsula during the second half of the fourteenth century—warfare that brought the Trastámaran dynasty to the throne when Enrique II "the Bastard" assassinated his legitimate half brother, Pedro I "the Cruel," and seized the throne. This article examines mayorazgo and how the wars of the period promoted its growth.

abstract:All the Crusades of the first half of the thirteenth century have Frederick II as protagonist, the actor who was always ready to play a role even when absent. In these roles, he was successively the emperor of the Last Times of the First Crusade of Damietta managed by the legate Pelage and by King John of Brienne, the humble pilgrim of the Crusade of Jaffa who became known as the new King Solomon, the director of the Crusade of Ascalon managed by the faithful Theobald of Champagne and by his brother-in-law Richard of Cornwall, and the partner of the Second Crusade of Damietta sought by Saint Louis, even if he was depicted as the antichrist by the pope. This article deals with the relationships between the sovereign and the chiefs of the other crusading expeditions held before and after the First Crusade of Damietta.

abstract:Datça Peninsula in southwestern Anatolia has a typically Mediterranean cultural landscape with significant variations among its subregions. This article presents research performed by the author and a group of graduate students of architecture in the summer of 2020, with the aim of discovering and creatively representing Datça's mosaic of microecological variations. The research focused on the traditional villages of Datça, with eight studied in detail in terms of the natural and manmade elements that define their particular landscapes. Original maps and three-dimensional drawings were produced as the final outcome and display both factual data and students' interpretations of the spatial characteristics of Datça Peninsula and its traditional settlements. These maps and drawings are based on information gathered from satellite maps, aerial photographs, and written sources and represent the salient geographic features, the borders and subregions, and the visual imagery of the major cultural landscapes within the geographic mosaic of the peninsula. Both the methods and outcomes of the research are products of a collective and experimental study of space literacy and documentation.
