It was not a conventional academic conference, but a reflection rooted in the pe\u00f1a: a space where people sing, debate, cook and, despite their differences, continue to share the same table. A concrete example of convivence.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The concept of Convivence was presented: going beyond simple tolerance to decide how we want to live together in our neighbourhoods, our city and the wider world. From there, the formula \u201cC\u00f3rdoba, city of the three cultures\u201d was questioned: the reality of exchanges of knowledge and everyday contact between Muslims, Jews and Christians was acknowledged, but so too were the existence of conflicts and hierarchies. Beyond both the idealised vision of an \u201cAndalusian paradise\u201d and those who deny any possibility of convivence, it was proposed that this legacy be understood as a \u201cfertile myth\u201d capable of inspiring present commitments.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Virginia Luque then brought the historical depth of C\u00f3rdoba during its intellectual golden age, presenting the protagonists of <em>Los sabios de Qurtuba<\/em>. Both speakers showed that convivence is not merely a medieval memory or a tourist slogan, but a daily task that is also built, in very concrete ways, within the Pe\u00f1as of C\u00f3rdoba. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a conference held at the Federation of Pe\u00f1as of C\u00f3rdoba, Robert Lanquar and historian Virginia Luque reflected on convivence between the three cultures, between myth and history.
