Problems of Mud�jar Architecture in Architectural HistorySurvey Books of Spain

Living together in the Iberian Peninsula since 8th century the Islamic, Christian and Jewish groups were contributed to the birth of Mud�jar architecture in the 11th century. This style, which was appealed to the big three religion, was generously applied following the re-conquest movements of the Christian Kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula when they tried to get rid of their Muslim enemies. Mud�jar architecture is one of the problematical topics of the architectural history writing mechanism. The studies that define Mud�jar origins and character were mostly conducted by the Spanish scholars. While a group of the scholars explain that Mud�jar origins have Islamic roots, another emphasizes its Christian aspects. Notably, recent researches have altered former classifications concentrating on geographical facts in addition to cultural varieties. This study investigates the sources of the Mud�jar architecture and takes attentions to the origin, identity and historiographical problems which are common to the architectural history studies. An evaluation of Mud�jar writing history particularly that of survey books will help us to identify the obscurities associated with Mud�jar concept and clarify the conceptual and terminological tools in histories related to it.

8.yy'dan itibaren ye�ermi� olan �slam�, H�ristiyan ve Yahudi sanat gelenekleri Mud�jar Mimarisi'nin �ber Yar�madas�'nda 11.yy'daki olu�umuna katk�da bulunurlar. �� b�y�k dinin ortak bir paydada birle�erek c�mert�e uygulad�� bu �slup Katolik krall�klar�n M�sl�manlar� �ber Yar�madas�'ndan atmaya y�nelik giri�tikleri askeri faaliyetlerle ba�lar. M�sl�manlar�n elinden al�nan topraklarda bir m�ddet farkl� inan� geleneklerine sahip toplumlar bir arada ya�amaya devam ederler. Bir arada bulunman�n sonucu kayna��nda �slam Sanat� olan melez bir mimari dil olu�ur. Mud�jar Mimarisi mimarl�k tarihi yaz�m�n�n �etrefilli konular�ndan bir tanesidir. Mud�jar Mimarisi'nin kaynaklar�n� ve �zelliklerini tan�mlayan �al��malar �o�unlukla �spanyol akademisyenler taraf�ndan ger�ekle�tirilmi�tir. Akademisyenler aras�nda bir grup Mud�jar'in �slami k�klerinden bahsederken, bir di�er grubun ilgili sanat�n H�ristiyan �zelliklerini vurgulad�� g�r�lmektedir. Ancak yak�n d�nemde yap�lan ara�t�rmalar bu erken d�nem s�n�fland�rmalar�n� de�i�tirerek co�rafi ve k�lt�rel �e�itlilik konular�na e�ilmektedir. Bu �al��ma genel olarak Mud�jar Mimarisi'nin kaynaklar�n� ara�t�rmakta ve mimarl�k tarihi alan�nda kar��la��lan kaynak, kimlik ve historiografik temelli sorunlara dikkat �ekmektedir. S�z konusu tarih yaz�n�n�n incelemesi, �zellikle ba�vuru kaynaklar�n�n de�erlendirilmesi, ayn� zamanda Mud�jar kavram�n�n �evresindeki belirsiz atmosferin ve bu atmosferi ortaya ��kartan ko�ullar�n tarihsel ve bu ba�lamdan beslenen terminolojik alt yap�s�n�n de�ifresine yard�mc� olacakt�r.
