Abstract

Time, history, memory in Al-Andalus». We reviewed the concept of time in Islam, marked by the establishment of a proper time, begun with the Prophet Muhammad’s flight from Mecca to Medina, which is set shortly after as year 1 of the Hegira (622 a.C.), to constitute their Era and calendar. Although this model prevailed in al-Andalus, it is necessary to bear in mind that more or less sporadic use of other Eras and calendars was practiced, namely, in other territories of the Dâr al-Islâm, for diachronic bequests, as well as for certain astronomical applications or practices (such as the solar agricultural calendar), or by non-Muslim population, or even as the result of some universalist timely eagerness. In relation to time in al-Andalus, we mention what Ibn Hazm, Averroes and Ibn ’Arabi said to end up raising some conditions of the historical record in al-Andalus: (1) its relationship with pre-Andalusi past; (2) the legitimations / non legitimations of historical memory; and (3) control of memory spaces: exclusions and silences
