abstract:This article is concerned with Gibraltar as a hybrid borderland in M. G. Sanchez's autobiographical works. Sanchez grew up in Gibraltar during the border closure in the 1970s and now lives in England, having traveled widely and lived for some years in Japan and India. A British Gibraltarian writer and in some ways a "nomadic subject," Sanchez keeps close ties with Gibraltar, where he has family and friends, visiting regularly and taking an active part in Gibraltarian cultural and political debates. In his work, Sanchez explores the palimpsestic quality of Gibraltarian culture, registering the changes in his birthplace while also attending to the traces of the past, the memories and the residue of a colonial culture. In particular, Sanchez sees Gibraltar as a borderscape and a culturally hybrid place preoccupied with borderlines. This article argues that with his approach to writing Gibraltar, Sanchez makes an important contribution to Gibraltar's current negotiation of identity in times of Brexit.

abstract:The mosque complex of Gazi Hasan Paşa is a remarkable synthesis of Ottoman and classical culture in which each structure includes ancient building materials from nearby ruins. This article analyzes the heretofore unexamined use of antique remains with a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating history, archaeology, and art history. The mosque complex positions the Ottoman Empire as the heir of ancient Mediterranean civilization. This claim posed an ideological threat to Western European viewers because they claimed the inheritance of Mediterranean civilization themselves. Western European authors erased Ottoman reuse of ancient materials from their accounts in order to ideologically exclude the Ottomans from the legacy of ancient civilization, thereby characterizing them as "barbarians." These same authors criticized the Ottomans for engaging with antiquity too much when the Ottomans began resisting colonial archaeology. Ottoman engagement with antiquity in Gazi Hasan Paşa's complex thus became a venue to contest imperial identities.
Gazi Hasan pa清真寺建筑群是奥斯曼帝国和古典文化的杰出综合体,其中每个建筑都使用了附近遗址的古代建筑材料。本文分析了迄今为止未经审查的使用与多学科的方法,结合历史,考古学和艺术史的古董遗骸。清真寺建筑群将奥斯曼帝国定位为古代地中海文明的继承人。这种说法对西欧观众构成了意识形态上的威胁,因为他们声称自己继承了地中海文明。西欧作家从他们的记载中抹去了奥斯曼帝国对古代材料的再利用,以便在意识形态上将奥斯曼人排除在古代文明的遗产之外,从而将他们描述为“野蛮人”。当奥斯曼人开始抵制殖民考古学时,这些作者批评奥斯曼人过多地参与古代研究。因此,奥斯曼帝国在加齐哈桑建筑群中与古代的接触成为了争夺帝国身份的场所。

abstract:Mediterranean cities are the oldest in Europe, built according to the practices and worldviews of their times. City cores are densely settled, having developed spontaneously with almost no systematic planning. The result is a core that lacks open spaces for greenery. The goal of the present study is to compare the existing state of residential greenery and urban parks in the Mediterranean with cities in Northern Europe that include such spaces. To achieve that goal, existing greenery per capita (residential greenery and urban parks) data for selected Mediterranean cities were gathered based on Google Earth. Results are compared with greenery per capita in selected cities in Northern Europe. Additional aspects of urban green spaces, such as landscaping and urban park design, are identified and compared to Mediterranean city cores. Suggestions for improving greenery within Mediterranean cities are offered at the conclusion of the study.

abstract:Despite some interchange between the two shores of the medieval Mediterranean world, particularly in Sicily and Iberia after about 1000 CE, one may distinguish differences in between the enjoyment of secular music between Christian upper classes and Islamic upper classes on the shores of the sea in this era. Where the Islamic world is concerned, a distinction may be drawn between an initially more sophisticated east, including Egypt, the Levant, Arabia, and especially Iraq, which inherited much from the Persian and Byzantine musical heritage and from Greek philosophy of music, and a culturally remote west (North Africa and Iberia) that received some impetus from the east and only later developed its own distinctive forms. The early history of these arts in the Christian lands is more obscure but comes into sharper focus after about 1200. The two histories can be seen as almost exactly the inverse of one another, as cultural and religious discourses produced quite different attitudes toward both music and dance.
