Abstract
Hay pocos términos históricos que hayan suscitado tanta polémica en España como el de la “reconquista”. Los historiadores desde la década de los ochenta del pasado siglo se debaten entre la pertinencia de su uso o su absoluta descalificación. El debate continúa hoy entre quienes piensan que la “reconquista” es útil para definir una construcción ideológica del pasado, y quienes creen que es mejor descartar el término definitivamente. Por ello, desde nuestro proyecto de investigación Confrontatio centrado en la Violencia religiosa en la Edad Media peninsular: guerra, discurso apologético y relato historiográfico (ss. X-XV) [HAR2016-74968-P], hemos querido abordar la cuestión procurando aportar ideas y nuevas reflexiones, desde ángulos y perspectivas muy variadas, que permitan contribuir, en la medida de lo posible, a clarificar el debate.
Few historical terms have aroused as much controversy in Spain as that of “la reconquista”. Since the or 1980s, historians have hover between the relevance of its use and its absolute rejection. The debate continues still today among those who think that “reconquista” is a useful term to define an ideological construction of the past, and those who believe it should better be discarded once and for all. For this reason, and within the framework of our research project Confrontatio, which focuses on Religious Violence in the Peninsular Middle Ages: War, Apologetic Discourse and Historiographic Narrative (ss. X-XV) [HAR2016-74968-P], we have aimed to tackle the question in an attempt to provide ideas and new reflections from a wide variety of angles and perspectives, which may contribute, as far as possible, to clarifying the discussion.
