Sommario/riassunto

The Mongols’ Middle East: Continuity and Transformation in Ilkhanid Iran offers a collection of academic articles that investigate different aspects of Mongol rule in 13th- and 14th-century Iran. Sometimes treated only as part of the larger Mongol Empire, the volume focuses on the Ilkhanate (1258-1335) with particular reference to its relations with its immediate neighbours. It is divided into four parts, looking at the establishment, the internal and external dynamics of the realm, and its end. The different chapters, covering several topics that have received little attention before, aim to contribute to a better understanding of Mongol rule in the Middle East and its role in the broader medieval Eurasian world and its links with China. With contributions by: Reuven Amitai, Michal Biran, Bayarsaikhan Dashdondog, Bruno De Nicola, Florence Hodous, Boris James, Aptin Khanbaghi, Judith Kolbas, George Lane, Timothy May, Charles Melville, Esther Ravalde, Karin Rührdanz

Sommario/riassunto

El estudio se dedica a representaciones historiográficas, literarias y fílmicas del Descubrimiento y de la Conquista de América. A través de apropiaciones variadas de los mismos acontecimientos históricos, los respectivos representantes artísticos se vinculan intertextual o intermedialmente. Las imágenes de ficción crean una realidad, de ahí el título La Conquista imaginaria, que alude a la concepción de la nación como imagined community de Benedict Anderson (1983). Las narraciones ficcionales crean a la vez historia, puesto que influyen en el imaginario colectivo y operan como un dispositivo ideológico y memorístico. El objetivo es desenredar estas relaciones transtextuales y reconstruir las visiones singulares de la Conquista y su función.
