Muslim Martyrs and Pagan Vampires
2005
In December 2000 the government of Kano State in Muslim northern Nigeria reintroduced shari’a and established a new board for film and video censorship charged with the responsibility to “sanitize” the video industry and enforce the compliance of video films with moral standards of Islam. Stakeholders of the industry took up the challenge and responded by inserting religious issues into their narratives, and by adding a new feature genre focusing on conversion to Islam. This genre is characterized by violent Muslim/pagan encounters, usually set in a mythical past, culminating in the conversion of the pagans. This article will first outline northern Nigerian video culture and then go on to e…
Catherine Jagiellon, Queen Consort of Sweden: Counselling Between the Catholic Jagiellons and the Lutheran Vasas
2018
Catherine Jagiellon (1526–83), was a Catholic Polish-Lithuanian princess married to a Lutheran Swedish Prince, John Vasa, Duke of Finland and later King of Sweden. Her case provides important insights into the impact of confessional differences within a royal marriage of the sixteenth century and their consequences for counsel. The chapter highlights the significance of Catherine’s network of confidants, and the role of her entourage in providing political support. While she was not always a successful counsellor, evidence from her correspondence demonstrates that she was a careful manager of her self-presentation in a range of delicate situations.

Vivir como cristianos y pagar como moros: genealogía medieval de la servidumbre morisca en el reino de Valencia
2009
La conversión forzosa de los musulmanes del reino de Valencia, decretada en 1526, no implicó una igualación social entre cristianos «viejos» y «nuevos», ya que se mantuvo la diferencia de estatus que había existido anteriormente. El artículo examina los tres aspectos fundamentales del contenido de dicha diferencia: la intensidad de las rentas soportadas, la imposición de servicios obligatorios y las trabas a la migración interior y exterior; establece sus orígenes en las condiciones de dominación impuestas a la población infiel inmediatamente después de la conquista del siglo XIII, y traza los grandes rasgos de su evolución a lo largo de la Baja Edad Media. Se arguye que esta población estu…
