| Abstract | The Iberian peripheral situation in medieval political geography, and the confluence of three different cultures - Christian, Muslim and Jew - generated complex cultural dynamics between them. Simplistic historical paradigms as the euphoric vision that paints a hostile history of 'Reconquest' ideology, or the idealistic dream of an overall tolerant 'España de las Tres Culturas' still dominate the studies of Iberian visual culture. The Iberian medieval complex panorama must be revisited, avoiding global patterns of understanding, and focusing, instead, in different case studies which show precise strategies in particular historical situations. |
