Dear ASPHS members, With this issue, I bid a fond farewell to my tenure as editor of the ASPHS Newsletter. At the annual meeting in 2008, the Association made the decision to revamp our old Bulletin. The new Bulletin would be a peer-reviewed journal for the study of the history of Iberia and the Luso-Hispanic world. At the same time, the Association officers floated the idea that there should be a sister-publication to continue the work of provide members with Association news. The editor of this new publication would not only have to try to live up to the high standard that former Bulletin editor Dan Crews left behind; he or she would be responsible for taking the new publication, to be known as the ASPHS Newsletter, into the electronic age. In their infinite wisdom, Past General Secretary Jesus Cruz and Past Bulletin Editor Dan Crews judged that the best person to take on this task might be the one who had wondered most loudly if such a thing could even be done. I agreed hesitantly — but in retrospect, I am very glad I did. I have learned a great deal over the past five years: about the Association, about newsletter layout, content management, and distribution. Although the process has been challenging, I think we’ve been successful. The Newsletter currently goes out to some 500+ members annually, and has been a way for many of us to keep in contact with the Association during those years when we cannot attend the annual meeting. I look forward to reading more in future issues, which will be curated by Luis X. Morera, who will be taking over the reins from me as of volume 6. Volume 5 contains the usual mix of Association announcements, as well as a message from our new General Secretary, A. Katie Harris. I’ve already heard from members who have ideas for short pieces for future issues, such as reflections on the recent Catalan referendum and how history helps us illuminate current issues in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world. I’ve taken the liberty this one time of including an editorial of my own, a statement about the recent defunding of National Endowment for the Humanities overseas summer seminars. And I join Gretchen Starr-Lebeau and other Association members in mourning the passing of Olivia Remie Constable, who was both an accomplished scholar of medieval Spain and the Mediterranean, as well as a wonderful, generous human being. Once again: thank you for the opportunity to serve, and to all who have made this possible every year. --Marie Kelleher Message from the General Secretary Page 2 2015 Annual Meeting Information for the 2015 Annual meeting at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD Page 3 ASPHS Research Prizes Last year’s winners, plus application information and deadlines for this year’s competition.

Message from the General Secretary

I am deeply honored to take up the position of General Secretary of the Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies. It was a genuine pleasure to work with my predecessor, David Ortiz, under whose stewardship our organization has continued to thrive. I hope that during my two-year term I will be able to follow his excellent example.

Our 45th annual meeting, which was held June 26-29, 2014, in Modena, Italy, was an unparalleled success. This conference, the first ASPHS meeting to be held in Europe outside the Iberian peninsula, attracted around 450 participants from around Europe and around the globe. We owe an enormous thanks to the Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, the Dipartimento di studi linguistici e culturali, the Istituto di Studi Storici Gaetano Salvemini, and the editorial board of the journal Spagna contemporanea for their sponsorship, and to the Comune di Modena, the Ambasciata di Spagna in Italia, the Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna, and the Accademia Militare di Modena for their very generous support. Above all, deep gratitude and hearty congratulations are due to the local organizers, Vittorio Scotti Douglas, Alfonso Botti, and Marco Cipolloni, for their tireless efforts and their extraordinary achievement. Our next gathering, organized by Erin Rowe and Gabriel Paquette at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, March 19-22, 2015, promises to further the raised international profile and expanded participation fostered by this conference.

As reported at the Modena meeting, the Association continues in strong financial health. We continue to file our taxes as a 501c4 non profit, but we may seek to change our status to 501c3 in the future, as we lay the groundwork for new initiatives, such as a competitive graduate student travel grant. This project is still in the works, but with the increase in dues that was voted in at the annual meeting in 2013, we have already taken the first steps toward funding it.

This and other developing projects are led by the able women and men of the ASPHS leadership. Sandie Holguín has kindly agreed to step into the position of Membership Secretary/Treasurer, and Jodi Campbell continues in the position of Web Editor. Together with the members of the Executive Committee (Erin Rowe, Scott Eastman, Javier Moreno-Luzón, Kirsten Schultz, Sasha Pack, and Scott Taylor), the Nominating Committee (Tanya Tiffany, Amanda Wunder, and Carmen Ripollés), the Bulletin editor, David Messenger, and the Newsletter editor, Marie Kelleher, we are in good shape to undertake a wide array of challenging new initiatives, including a new and expanded website, a Facebook page, a possible change of tax status, a possible new logo, and much more.

One project that has already come to fruition is the shift of the Association’s peer-reviewed online journal, the Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies, to an open access format. We hope that this move away from paid subscriptions will help expand readership and awareness of ASPHS and its mission. Further information about the Bulletin and the shift to open access may be found on the ASPHS website.

I am very pleased to congratulate the winners of the 2013-2014 round of ASPHS prizes, which were announced at the Modena meeting. The winner of the Best Dissertation Prize was Fernando Vicente Albarrán, who completed his dissertation “Los barrios negros: El Ensanche Sur en la formación del moderno Madrid (1860-1931)” at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2011. Honorable mentions went to Sarah Hamilton, “Lake Effects: Transnational History and the Making of a Valencian Landscape” (University of Michigan, 2013), and to Laura Fernández-Gonzalez, “Philip II of Spain & Monarchia Universalis: Architecture, Urbanism, & Imperial Display in Habsburg Iberia, 1561-1598,” (University of Edinburgh, 2012). The Oliveira Marques prize in Portuguese History was awarded to Raphael Costa for “The ‘great façade of nationality’: Some Considerations on Portuguese Tourism and the Multiple Meanings of Estado Novo Portugal in Travel Literature,” Journal of Tourism History v.5, n.1 (2013): 50-72, while the Charles Julian Bishko Memorial Prize in medieval Iberian history went to Hussein Fancy, “Theologies of Violence: Recruitment of Muslim Soldiers by the Crown of Aragon,” Past & Present 221:1 (2013), 39-73. More information on the prize winners and on this year’s competitions can be found on the ASPHS website.

ASPHS will once again sponsor several panels at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, January 2-5, 2015, in New York, NY. More information on the panels and multi-session workshop can be found in this Newsletter. As an affiliate of the AHA, ASPHS may sponsor panels at the AHA meeting, and ASPHS members are encouraged to submit panel proposals to the AHA with ASPHS as a co-sponsor. The Association continues its longstanding tradition of reviewing and sponsoring panels on Iberian history that were not selected for the regular program. I look forward to seeing you all at our annual AHA reception, which will be held from 5-7 pm on January 2, in the East Suite of the New York Hilton Midtown.

Finally, I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Marie Kelleher, who is stepping down from the editorship of this Newsletter after five years. The Newsletter is a labor-intensive project, but one that is vital to our Association, and we all owe Marie a great debt of gratitude for her dedication and hard work. Marie leaves the Newsletter in the capable hands of Luis Morera, who has kindly agreed to take on this key job and the duties that it entails. !!

Best Wishes, A. Katie Harris

Saving the NEH Overseas Summer Seminars !As many of the members have heard, in October 2014, the National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.) announced that it would no longer be funding summer seminars that involved travel outside of the United States or its territories. Seminar participants abroad learn from the cultures in which they are immersed. At the same time, they honor the spirit behind the public funding of scholarship by being cultural ambassadors, participating in a scholarly exchange that extends beyond our borders. Information on this development can be found at the Chronicle of Higher Education: https://chroniclevitae.com/news/761-save-the-overseas-seminars !As a former participant in one of these seminars (held in Barcelona), I can personally attest to the benefit that studying one’s subject on site can bring. As a member of an organization with international membership, I am worried about what such intellectual isolationism portends. I personally encourage concerned members to write directly to U.S. Director of Education Programs William Rice ([email protected]) or to sign the online petition: !

In Memoriam: Remie Elizabeth Constable !On April 16, 2014, Olivia Remie Constable died of cancer at her home in South

Bend, Indiana. A faculty member of the History Department at Notre Dame University since 1995, Remie was both Professor of History and the Robert M. Conway Director of the Medieval Institute. She is survived by her husband, Matthew Bell; their sons, Owen and Sam; her father, Giles Constable; and her stepmother, Patricia Woolf.

Remie began her academic career at Yale University, where she earned a BA in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures in 1983. From there, she proceeded to Princeton University, and in 1989 earned her doctorate in Near Eastern Studies there. After teaching at Columbia University for six years, Remie moved to South Bend and took up a position at Notre Dame, where she remained until her passing. !

In a career as storied as Remie’s, and for someone so loved and admired, it is difficult to summarize her impact on the discipline. Of course, it is essential to mention her monographs: Trade and Traders in Muslim Spain: The Commercial Realignment of the Iberian Peninsula, 900-1500 (recipient of the John Nicholas Brown Prize of the Medieval Academy in 1998); and Housing the Stranger in the Mediterranean World: Lodging, Trade, and Travel in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. There are also plans for one of her former students to complete her final manuscript, a study of Christian perceptions of Muslim identity in late medieval and early modern Spain.) It is important also to recognize at least a few of her important articles, particularly “Chess and Courtly Culture in Medieval Castile: The ‘Libro de ajedrez’ of Alfonso X, el Sabio” and, more recently, “Regulating Religious Noise: The Council of Vienne, the Mosque Call and Muslim Pilgrimage in the Late Medieval Mediterranean World,” which was awarded the Julian Bishko Prize for best article in medieval Iberian history from ASPHS. It is little wonder that her research was awarded funding by the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Council for Learned Societies, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. !

For its breadth and impact, the sourcebook she edited merits at least as many accolades as her monographs and articles. Medieval Iberia: Readings from Christian, Muslims, and Jewish Sources appeared in a second, expanded edition in 2012. This work, which involved coordinating the efforts of dozens of scholars, will influence generations of teachers and students of Iberian history. Its geographic and chronological range, and the thoughtful and well-chosen selections—all presented in clear, readable translations—have made it an essential part of teaching medieval Iberia. Countless students have had and will continue to have their perceptions of that period shaped by this singular book. Furthermore, this work shows not only Remie’s outstanding skills as a historian, but also her unflagging interest in her students and how best to reach them. Graduate students and undergraduates alike responded to her keen intellect, her passion for learning, and her commitment to their development as critical, historical thinkers. !

Indeed, Remie had an expansive desire to foster understanding of the past, particularly the premodern Mediterranean past, that expressed itself in many ways, whether it was leading students along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, talking to her children’s Montessori classes, or her extensive work for the profession, be it the American Historical Association, the Medieval Academy, or the Premodern Spanish History Association of the Midwest. Remie was an enthusiastic supporter of the latter works-in-progress group since its founding in 2001, and faithfully attended no matter what else demanded her time and attention. When my two co-founders had to leave the group by 2005, I was ready to give up the effort of organizing our meetings; but Remie urged me to continue. Explicitly and implicitly, she reminded me of the importance of making a commitment to worthwhile work, and to see it through. It is a loss for all who knew her or were influenced by her many activities that she will not be able to continue in her own personal and professional endeavors, nor to share her warmth and enthusiasm with family, friends, and colleagues. !Gretchen Starr-Lebeau Department of History University of Kentucky !!!The friends and family of Olivia Remie Constable invite you to join them in establishing the Olivia Remie Constable Award for junior, adjunct and unaffiliated scholars, to be presented annually in her memory. Remie was a consummate scholar who was aware that gaps in funding exist for emerging scholars. The Constable Award, which will be administered by the Medieval Academy of America, will be awarded annually to an emerging junior faculty member, adjunct or unaffiliated scholar (broadly understood: post-doctoral, pre-tenure) for research and travel. The award is meant to reflect the high standards of Remie's scholarship as well as her broader interdisciplinary interests in Medieval Studies (as exemplified by her teaching, her leadership, and her service to the discipline). Remie's family agree that this award will be an appropriate and effective way to honor her memory. For more information, please see: !

Announcements Publication venues, conferences, and workshops of potential interest to Association members !!Publication Opportunities: !!The Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies is the digitally published peer-reviewed journal of the Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies. Now in its second year of publication, the Bulletin invites article submissions of original scholarly articles addressing any aspect of the history of Spain, Portugal, or their influences in the wider world. The editors also welcome articles that address the historical content and/or historical relevance of topics related to Literary Studies, Historical Sociology, Historical Anthropology, and Art History, among others. For submission guidelines, please see the Bulletin’s information page: http://digitalcommons.asphs.net/bsphs/policies.html !!The Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies, an interdisciplinary journal published by Taylor and Francis, welcomes innovative scholarship on the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic cultures of the Iberian Peninsula from the fifth to the sixteenth centuries. JMIS encompasses archaeology, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religious studies, as well as history, codicology, manuscript studies and the multiple Arabic, Latin, Romance, and Hebrew linguistic and literary traditions of Iberia. Essays that engage with multiple disciplinary perspectives, and comparative articles addressing the significance for medieval Iberian studies of broader developments in medieval European, colonial Latin American, Peninsular or North African studies—and vice-versa—are strongly encouraged. Submissions for consideration must be prepared in Chicago ‘humanities’ style, and should not ordinarily exceed 10,000 words; shorter pieces, and non-traditional submissions, are welcomed. Please send submissions and inquiries to [email protected]. For further information, see http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/announcements/JMIS.html !!Mediterranean Studies is now accepting submissions for upcoming issues. Mediterranean Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal, sponsored by the Mediterranean Studies Association and published by Pennsylvania State University Press. Focusing on the Mediterranean world over a broad chronological span — from classical antiquity to the present day — the journal's interdisciplinary approach includes work on the arts, religions, cultures, histories and literatures of the Mediterranean world. Please consult the contributor guidelines or write to the editor for more information. !Editor: Susan O.

Ryan (Univ. of New Mexico): For centuries, the Iberian Peninsula acted as a nexus for the circulation of ideas, people, objects, and technology around the pre-modern Mediterranean, Atlantic, and eventually the Pacific. This book series combines a broad thematic scope with the territorial limits of the Iberian Peninsula and its global contacts. In doing so, works in this series will juxtapose previously disparate areas of study and challenge scholars to rethink the role of encounter and exchange in the formation of the modern world. We encourage proposals for books that address all aspects of this theme int he medieval and early modern Iberian context. For more information, contact the Executive Editor Eleanor H. Goodman: [email protected] !!The Iberian Religious World is a peer-reviewed series that publishes academic works that deal with the different types of religiosity found in the Iberian world. The space of the ‘Iberian world’ is one that changes according to time. If until the end of the fourteenth century it was limited to the space of the Iberian Peninsula, the beginning of the maritime discoveries in the fifteenth century gave it an almost world-size dimension, gradually lost from the eighteenth century onwards. The series will encompass works on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and also African, Asian and American religions and cults met by, among others, Portuguese and Spaniards during their overseas enterprises. Volumes in the series deal with forms of religiosity, cultural relationships with religious minorities, and acculturation processes within the space of the Iberian Peninsula from antiquity to our day, addressing subjects such as history, theology, art history, literature, philology, music, and other academic fields, whenever the main focus of research is on religion.

For the 2014-2015 academic year, there will be two funding cycles. The next deadline will be March 1, 2015. The total funds available for disbursement in each cycle will be $600. Members who wish to apply for subventions should prepare a proposal of no more than one page explaining the nature of the event and its connection to ASPHS’s mission. Proposals should be accompanied by a budget explaining how the requested funds will be expended. Please send both the proposal and the budget to the members of the Executive Committee ([email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]) on or before the deadline of each funding cycle.

Elka Klein Memorial Travel Grant (2015): a cash grant of $1500 will be awarded in memory of Dr. Elka Klein to a doctoral candidate preparing to spend a month or more abroad conducting historical research towards her or his dissertation. The grant will be awarded based on contribution of the proposed research, which should relate to Prof. Klein’s own research interests of Sephardic Studies, medieval studies, gender studies, and Jewish studies. Applicants for the grant are asked to submit the following information by April 10, 2015: c.v.; dissertation proposal; description of the specific research to be undertaken abroad; a working budget, including what other funds have already been secured; and a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s dissertation supervisor, addressing the applicant’s qualifications and the significance of the research s/he will be undertaking (Letters of recommendation should be printed on official stationary and scanned if sent by e-mail).

Rather seeing the Mediterranean merely as the arena of conflict and contact between monolithically-conceived cultures (e.g. Muslim, Christian, Jewish, European, African, Middle Eastern), it takes as its starting point the dynamics and structures common to each of these as they engaged with one another. Application information may be found at: http://www.nehsummerinstitute.org/new-page-1/ !!Conference Calls for Papers !The Premodern Spanish History Association of the Midwest (PSHAM) has set its annual works in progress meeting for Saturday, March 7 at Cleveland State University.

The Maritime Museum of San Diego is developing a major educational program to promote understanding of the relationships between Spain, the Pacific, and the western coast of the United States. The program includes university courses taught in collaboration with the University of California, San Diego, formal tours and classis for primary and secondary schools students, regular Summer Seminars (since 2010) for school teachers, art exhibits, and a lecture series aimed at the general public. A recent major exhibit entitled “Three Visions of Paradise” (May, 2011-June, 2012) featured original material from Captain Cook’s voyages, the work of Herman Melville, and seldom seen original work by Gauguin. Spring, 2015 will see a major exhibit of privately owned Ansel Adams photographs.

At the heart of the Museum’s new educational program is the construction of a full-sized, operational representation of the San Salvador, the Spanish galleon that was the first European ship to visit San Diego in 1542. Along with the tall ship Californian, a replica of the revenue cutter that policed the entrance to San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush, San Salvador will also visit maritime museums along the California Coast. Her launch is scheduled for January, 2015 and beginning that Fall, she will carry programs presented by the museum’s staff and faculty to maritime museums along the California coast. Programs will include Spanish exploration in the Pacific, the connection between America and Asia represented by the Manila Galleons, Spanish colonization of California, and the competition between Russia and Spain for control of the west coast of North America.

This project has been made possible by support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the State of California, the Rice Foundation, and other generous personal and corporate contributors. The academic faculty includes Kevin Sheehan, Carla Phillips, James Cassidy, Donald Abbott, and David Ringrose. ! !!
