The March session of the Cátedra Al-Andalus moves to the palace of the Marqueses de la Algaba to celebrate more than eight years of continuous meetings and talks on the transcendence of Andalusian times.
The director of the Chair, Emilio González Ferrín, will briefly review the achievements of this project and will focus on its intellectual objective: that Al-Andalus represented a first Renaissance, insofar as a part of Europe, the Iberian Peninsula, condensed the culture of the times expressed in Arabic and facilitated its transfer to the various European languages. Scientific instruments, philosophical reflections on faith and reason, anthropocentric novels and musical assimilations are among the Andalusian contributions to the continuous cultural elaboration that led to the rise of European culture.
The conference will be held at the Palacio de los Marqueses de la Algaba (P/ Calderón de la Barca, s/nº CP 41003 Sevilla). Thursday 30 March at 18.30 hours.
