DESCRIPTION:Programme leaflet\nMedieval and early modern population groups
  adhering to different belief-systems interacted in seemingly self-contrad
 ictory ways. Hostility and warfare justified by references to religion\, a
 s well as influences and cultural borrowing characterized their coexistenc
 e. This workshop will bring together these two themes in order to investig
 ate more closely how groups could influence each other\, when these groups
  were envisaged in terms of religious hostility\, and how mechanisms of cu
 ltural borrowing were able to function during periods of explicitly formul
 ated religious warfare. It is easier to conceptualize religious war on the
  one hand and cultural influences and borrowing on the other as two tempor
 ally or geographically distinct spheres of activity. Yet when Christians a
 nd Muslims were fighting wars that were defined on both sides as fighting 
 for the true faith\, at the same time they exerted influence on and borrow
 ed from each other. This is especially true of areas where warfare continu
 ed for very long periods\, between populations that also lived in close pr
 oximity to each other. How and why was such borrowing possible between ene
 mies? What were the channels of cultural influence and borrowing? What new
  forms of interaction emerged as a result? The papers will focus on zones 
 where interreligious warfare continued for centuries: the Iberian Peninsul
 a\, crusader territories in the East\, and areas of Ottoman expansion. Ana
 lyzing examples from the terminology of polemics to architecture\, from fo
 od to everyday objects\, the workshop will explore the seemingly self-cont
 radictory stance of openness to cultural influences from one's enemies.\nP
