DESCRIPTION:Programme leaflet\nMedieval and early modern population groups
  adhering to different  belief-systems interacted in seemingly self-contra
 dictory ways.  Hostility and warfare justified by references to religion\,
  as well as  influences and cultural borrowing characterized their coexist
 ence. This  workshop will bring together these two themes in order to inve
 stigate  more closely how groups could influence each other\, when these g
 roups  were envisaged in terms of religious hostility\, and how mechanisms
  of  cultural borrowing were able to function during periods of explicitly
   formulated religious warfare. It is easier to conceptualize religious  w
 ar on the one hand and cultural influences and borrowing on the other  as 
 two temporally or geographically distinct spheres of activity. Yet  when C
 hristians and 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 borrowed from each other. This is especially true of  areas where w
 arfare continued for very long periods\, between populations  that also li
 ved in close proximity to each other. How and why was such  borrowing poss
 ible between enemies? What were the channels of cultural  influence and bo
 rrowing? What new forms of interaction emerged as a  result? The papers wi
 ll focus on zones where interreligious warfare  continued for centuries: t
 he Iberian Peninsula\, crusader territories in  the East\, and areas of Ot
 toman expansion. Analyzing examples from the  terminology of polemics to a
 rchitecture\, from food to everyday objects\,  the workshop will explore t
 he seemingly self-contradictory stance of  openness to cultural influences
  from one's enemies.\nProgramme\n25 February 2014\n9:00       Kick-Off wit
