GUAIRES DE GALDAR.

EDRA - Origen

LOS GUAIRES DE GÁLDAR

«Tenía cada Guanarteme seys hombres escogidos para su consejo delos mas valientes, y de mayores fuerzas, por cuyo cuidado regía, y gobernaba su Señorío, y termino, Los quales eran nombrados Gayres. […] Los Gayres del reyno de Galdar se llamaban, Adargoma, Tazarte, Doramas, Texama, Dayfa, Caytafa» [Abreu (ca. 1590, II, 7) d. 1676: 47r].

📷 Obra realizada por el escultor Fernando Silva Moreno en Gáldar en homenaje a sus antiguos Guaires.

Gáldar estrenó en la tarde de este jueves dos grupos escultóricos con la presencia de cinco Guaires en la calle que lleva su nombre. La obra de Fernando Silva Moreno recoge dos escenas con ocho elementos diferentes: seis figuras masculinas de aproximadamente dos metros de altura, de las cuales cuatro están de pie -falta una escultura por instalarse- y dos sentadas, una cabra y una roca con un tablero de juegos que rememora al juego que practicaban los aborígenes denominado La Chascona. El material elegido es el jesmonite y pesan hasta cien kilos.

Teodoro Sosa, alcalde de la Ciudad; Encarnación Ruiz, coordinadora del proyecto y Fernando Silva, escultor, inauguraron el conjunto que presidirá una de las entradas principales a la Ciudad. “Vamos a tener las dos entradas que históricamente hemos tenido con lo que nos tiene que representar: nuestros orígenes, nuestra tierra, nuestros antepasados. Por un lado las de la Bajada de las Guayarminas y ahora estas de la calle Guaires, y ambas entradas con un gran aparcamiento”, aseguró el primer edil.

“La calle Guaires era el perfecto lugar para hacer ese homenaje a los guerreros y a los capitanes. Desde 1478 a 1483 en plena Conquista seis Guaires asesoraban en aquel momento: Adargoma, Doramas, Tixama, Gayfa y Gaytafa”, añadió Teodoro Sosa, que detalló que el Ayuntamiento dejó al escultor que decidiera plenamente las escenas. El alcalde aprovechó para pedir a la ciudadanía respeto hacia estas “magníficas” esculturas para que “duren muchos años”.

Fernando Silva Moreno nació en Guía en 1974 y es autor entre otras de la escultura de la entrada a La Atalaya que homenajea al hombre y la mujer trabajadora del campo. El autor describió las escenas elegidas: “En una representamos la vida cotidiana de los Guaires con el juego de La Chascona. Ese elemento de ocio representa la estrategia de vencer al oponente, que es lo que hacían ellos ante las invasiones extranjeras. Y también hay una cabra que refleja cuál era uno de sus principales sustentos”, explicó.

Acerca de la otra, detalla: “Hay tres personajes, uno camina hacia abajo, se está desprendiendo de ese grupo y porta un puñal en la espalda, es el símbolo de la Conquista castellana. Vemos el puñal contra la piedra y el palo, elementos que tiene otro de los Guaires. Y también vemos un gesto de desconfianza hacia aquellos que mediaron entre castellanos y aborígenes que representa esa doble visión de la traición o de intento de pactos para salvar vidas”, sentencia.

Women’s History Meme || Forgotten Princesses (2/10) ↬ Dayfa Khatun

... Favorite daughter of al-Malik al-Adil, who had succeeded his brother Saladin as sultan of the Ayyubid dynasty. Al-Adil could claim control of most of Saladin’s possessions with the exception of Aleppo, the only province Saladin had guaranteed to one of his sons, Az-Zahir Ghazi. As a result of this divide, there was a considerable tension between Ghazi and Al-Adil, and it threatened to dismantle the Ayyubid confederacy. To resolve the tension, Ghazi asked his uncle Al-Adil for his daughter’s hand in marriage. ...

Little is recorded of Dayfa during the reminder of Ghazi's reign ... or that of their son, Al-Aziz Muhammad, who died in 1234 at the age of 24. Muhammad's son and successor was, however, 7 at the time of his father's death, a situation that necessitated the creation of a regency council. This council consisted of two emirs ..., the vizier..., and Dayfa’s own slave... The latter acted as Dayfa’s secretary and deputy at the regency, whose decisions she herself ratified as regent queen in the name of her grandson. Thus, she in effect ruled Aleppo from 1236 until her death in 1243.

Dayfa’s seven year reign was militarily uneventful, making it possible for her to dedicate her efforts to civic affairs and the patronage of scholars and mystics.

“A common element shared in the historical context in which these women became regents in their territories was the increasing influence that the Turkish-origin population exercised in both Egypt and Syria (especially in the region of Aleppo) in the first half of the thirteenth century. Yasser Tabbaa suggests three factors might explain the accession to power of women in the Middle East.

First, he stresses that these women were princesses of noble origin and not concubines confined in harems as recounted in the studies of the Abbasid and Ottoman dynasties. This socio-economic condition - following Tabbaa’s explanation - might have allowed these women greater freedom of movement and, indeed, the capacity to maneuver in court.

Second, he claims that political marriages gave these women protection, since their role was fundamental in maintaining the unity of the Ayyubid ‘family confederacy’. Finally, their capacity to give birth to a male child - a potential ruler - increased their status. There is, though, something that has not been considered in this picture. The nomadic Turkish component in the cultural, political, and ethnic spheres of medieval Middle Eastern societies went through one of its periods of greatest influence in the thirteenth century.

...The increase in power of Turkish people with a nomadic past (or a memory of it) should also be taken into account when trying to understand the social and political circumstances that allowed the emergence of female rule in the Middle East prior to the second Mongol invasion during the 1250s.

...by the time Dayfa Khatun was maintaining power by ‘avoiding controversial acts’ and ‘asking not to be mentioned in the Khutba’, the Mongols had an empress (Toregene) who was signing edicts, engaging in diplomacy and actively taking government decisions that influenced the destiny of the Mongol Empire.”

Besides highlighting the value of divorce as a patriarchal privilege, this book has also argued that the high rates of divorce in Mamluk society could not have been sustained without a considerable degree of economic independence for women. Among the elite, this economic independence has been founded upon the institution of the dowry – the importance of which has been underestimated by historians. Dowries, delivered in the form of trousseaux, gender-specific items of personal property, functioned as a form of pre-mortem inheritance reserved exclusively for daughters. Usually much larger than the marriage gifts of the groom, the dowries were a substantial portion of a family’s patrimony. Once donated by the bride’s parents, the dowry remained under the woman’s exclusive ownership and control throughout marriage, and then again through widowhood and divorce. Depending on circumstances, women used their dowries to invest in real estate or in exclusively female savings associations, or to derive income from interest-bearing loans. 

Another key aspect of medieval women’s economic independence, often overlooked by both medieval writers and modern historians, was the widespread female participation in the production of textiles. Female spinners, seamstresses and embroiderers were of crucial importance to the textile industry as a whole, and when that industry expanded in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, so did women’s economic opportunities. Examples drawn from chronicles and fatwa¯ collections demonstrate that the remuneration women received for their work was often sufficient to support them, even if at a modest level. Some women, such as the seamstress Dayfa bint. Umar, were able to support entire families, including their husbands. Through their wages, many women, and not necessarily elite women, were able to remain single for long periods of time. Some of them found refuge in exclusively female religious houses, the ribats, built with the purpose of providing them with their own moral and physical space within the male public sphere.

📖 :D !!

thank you for the ask angel, i hope you’re doing well tonight! and please remember to take care!

for this, i’ll talk about the dayfae sleeping beauty au! it’s a fairy tale au, but also a bit of a soulmates one too (but not really). so daybit and fae are childhood friends in their village, and when daybit turns 10, after his father’s passing, it’s discovered by the village elders that he’s got incredibly powerful magic so they end up sending him away to the academy. luckily for the two friends, daybit and fae are able to cast a spell that allows for them to meet up whenever they fall asleep at the same time.

this works for them for many years, until one day when fae’s 15, all communication stops. from daybit’s letters to seeing him in their dreams, and they can’t figure it out at all. so they set out on a journey, mapped out by their last conversation with daybit, to the academy, where they sneak in and try to find him.
