- W1993039958 abstract "As I edge a complete definition of Iberia, with its constellation of Mus lim and realms and Jewish communities from approximately 500 to 1500 CE, I strive for precise word use, for unity and accuracy, but I am always on perimeter of Iberia's fullness. I am always at its edge trying to capture it all by researching Castilian kingdoms here and Muslim realms there, or Jewish poets in this instance and Aragonese physicians in that one. is more than mere geography. Just when I am certain that I have arrived at an airtight definition of place, its inhabitants, and its cultural pro duction, another contingency emerges to throw my neat design into a state of doubt and disorder. always eludes me. Is my area of study fully medieval Iberia? Do I always consider Portugal after its twelfth-century split from Castile? When dealing with Iberia, how can I separate North Africa from al-Andalus, name Muslims gave their Iberian territory? And if I cannot divide them, should my area of study be and North Africa? Can Iberia contain North Africa in its meaning? And where does fall, in Christian Europe (yes), or the Muslim east (yes), which was not truly toward east at all? How to contain all that diversity in one obligatory word, in one comprehensive toponym? I wonder if trying to find perfect name for diversity of Iberian Middle Ages is an important or worthy undertaking. Many colleagues are content to use lim ited terms such as medieval Spain or Hispania, but I am not. A growing number of scholars, such as Maria Rosa Menocal [Visions of al-Andalus 12] and Anthony Pym [14-15], have recently discussed this difficulty in nomenclature, yet I cannot help but think that this is our own modern preoccupation: people surely did not con ceive of in this way. We invented Middle Ages. Modern scholars especially from nineteenth century on determined and maintained, however loosely, chronological breaks between what we call Antiquity and Middle Ages, and between and early modern periods.1 In addition, scholars often erroneously applied modern values to past, as demonstrated in studies by, for instance, Norman F. Cantor, John Dagenais, Umberto Eco, Mark D. Meyerson, and Gabrielle M. Spiegel. These inves tigations point out many modern presumptions about period, such as about ethnicity, hierarchies of powerful and marginalized groups, gender relations, nationhood, or authorship and book production in manuscript culture. And while most useful scholarship avoids unthinking application of modern concepts to period, it is evident that scholars are always confined by their own limits and values, even if they wish to describe past with accuracy. It is like walking a tightrope between period and present; it is like being on Iberia's edge, trying to have that broad scope from twenty-first century to contain it all. But tightrope, edge is" @default.
