Este fato não é vão, visto que um dos pilares da própria religião é a peregrinação religiosa à cidade sagrada de Meca (Hajj). A primeira metade do século XIV foi um período ímpar dentro do Dar al-Islam (Terra do Islã) e, consequentemente, para as viagens comerciais, religiosas ou diplomáticas que se realizavam neste espaço que ia desde o sul da península Ibérica até o extremo oeste da China. Tal qual o próprio ato de viajar, a escrita de viagens possuía grande importância dentro de diferentes reinos islâmicos que muito valor davam à escrita e a cultura erudita (adab). Neste contexto, destacamos um relato em específico, intitulado Tuhfat al-Nuzzar fi Ghara ‘ib al-Amsar wa-‘Aja ‘ib al-Asfar, podendo ser tra¬duzido como Um presente para aqueles que contemplam as Belezas das Cidades e as Maravilhas da Viagem. Esta obra, mais conhecida como Rihla, é resultado da escrita das viagens estendida por quase 30 anos pelo qadi maghrebino Ibn Battuta (1304-1377). Tal livro foi escrito com auxílio do poeta e erudito Ibn Juzayy al-Kalbi (1321-1357), natural de Al-Andalus. Ele era então secretário do sultão Merínida Abu ‘Inan (1348-1358). O citado viajante percorreu boa parte do mundo islâmico de então e boa parte de suas bordas (da China à África Ocidental). O recorte geográfico da Rihla em que privilegiamos nossa análise foi o das viagens realizadas em Al-Andalus (1351) e ao Bilad al-Sudan (1352-1353). Para tanto, através de bibliografia especializada, procuramos contextualizar estes espaços, para então analisar os relatos reservados a estes lugares dentro da Rihla. Pensar o viajante e seus escritos, dentro de uma reflexão teórico-conceitual, foi algo percebido como essencial. Logo, uma reflexão metodológica foi ensaiada antes de partir para uma análise da representação do outro e da alteridade construída pelo viajante Ibn Battuta em seu relato. Escolhemos, para uma análise mais detida, as descrições de três tipologias do outro dentro da Rihla: o caso dos cristãos de Al-Andalus, dos berberes massufi bidan e dos negros do Bilad al-Sudan. / Travel has always been a central theme in the Muslim world. This is not a minor fact, considering that one of the pillars of the religion is the annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to the holy city of Mecca. The first half of the fourteenth century was a unique period in the Dar al-Islam (land of Islam) and, consequently, for business, religious snd diplomatic travel that happened in the regions between the south of the Iberian Peninsula and the west of China. Just like the act of traveling, travel writing had great importance within different Islamic kingdoms that valued writing and high culture (adab). In this context, we highlighted a particular account, entitled Tuhfat al-Nuzzar fi Ghara ‘ib al-Amsar wa-‘Aja ‘ib al-Asfar, which can be translated as A Gift to Those who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling. This work, known as Rihla, is the result of travel writing documented by the Maghrebian qadi Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) which extended for nearly 30 years. Accordingly, this book was written with the help of the poet and scholar Ibn Juzayy al-Kalbi (1321-1357), born in Al-Andalus. He was, at that time, secretary of the Marinid Sultan Abu 'Inan (1348-1358). The mentioned traveler visited much of the Islamic world and its borders, from China to West Africa. The geographic area of the Rihla, which we are focusing our analysis on, was connected with the journeys made in Al-Andalus (1351) and Bilad al-Sudan (1352-1353). For that purpose, through specialized literature, we attempted to contextualize these spaces, and thereafter analyze the reports related to these places within the Rihla. Ultimately, thinking about Ibn Battutta and his travel writings, in both a theoretical and conceptual reflection, are essential for our purposes. In this regard, a methodological reflection was undertaken before making an analysis of the representation of the other and of the alterity built on the account of Ibn Battuta and his writings. We chose, for a more detailed analysis, the descriptions of three typologies of the representation of the other within the Rihla: the cases of the Al-Andalusian Christians, the massufi bidan Berbers and the blacks from Bilad al-Sudan.

Eastward Voyages and the Late Medieval European Worldview

Ignatov, Ivan Ivanovich January 2013 (has links)
This thesis explores the nature of the late medieval European worldview in the context of the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century European journeys to Asia. It aims to determine the precise influence of these journeys on the wider European Weltbild. In lending equal weight to the accounts of the eastward travellers and the sources authored by their counterparts in Europe, who did not travel to Asia, the present study draws together two related strands in medieval historiography: the study of medieval European cosmology and worldview, and the study of medieval travel and travel literature. This thesis treats the journeys as medieval Europe’s interaction with Asia, outlining how travellers formed their perceptions of ‘the East’ through their encounters with Asian people and places. It also explores the transmission of information and ideas from travellers to their European contemporaries, suggesting that the peculiar textual culture of the Middle Ages complicated this process greatly and so minimised the transfer of ‘intact’ perceptions as the travellers originally formed them. The study contends instead that the eastward journeys shaped the late medieval European world picture in a different way, without overturning the concepts that underpinned it. Rather, this thesis argues, thirteenth- and fourteenth-century eastward voyages subtly altered how Europeans were inclined to understand these underpinning concepts. It suggests that the journeys intensified and made the concepts more immediate in Europeans’ minds and that they ‘normalised’ travel itself to the point where it became an essential part of the way Europeans could most readily make sense of the vast and kaleidoscopic world around them.
