Resumen
Agar, la concubina de Abraham y la madre de la nación árabe, es la fundadora de la ciudad islámica, Meca. En la mitología islámica Agar, una vez expulsada de la tienda de Abraham y Sara, vaga desesperadamente por el desierto Paran, en busca de agua. Es entonces cuando se le aparece el arcángel Gabriel revelando le el lugar del pozo Zamzam. He aquí el origen mítico de la ciudad islámica Meca. Agar personifica las características de la nueva civilización; un lugar que sirva de refugio para una mujer esclava marginada y expulsada de la protección patriarcal.
Meca, en su origen, ha sido una ciudad femenina en el sentido deleuziano, es decir, un escenario para “devenir-minoritaria”, para “devenir-mujer”. Pero veremos cómo la ciudad/refugio de Agar será confiscada por valores patriarcales a lo largo de la historia. Agar, la fundadora de la nación, a través del tiempo se convierte en un personaje secundario en las tres culturas abrahámicas. En este trabajo, se pretende hacer una interpretación femenina del origen de la ciudad islámica revitalizando el papel de la esclava Agar como fundadora de la nación árabe.
Abstract
Hagar, the concubine of Abraham and the mother of the Arab nation, mythically, is the founder of the Islamic city, Mecca. In Islamic mythology, Hagar, once expelled from the tent of Abraham and Sarah, wanders desperately through the Paran desert, in search of water. It is then that the archangel Gabriel appears, revealing the place of the Zamzam well, where they built the city of Mecca. Hagar embodies the features of the new civilization; a place that serves as a refuge for a slave woman marginalized and expelled from patriarchal protection.
Mecca, in its origin, has been a feminine city in the Deleuzian sense, a scene for "becoming-minority", for "becoming-woman". But we will see how the city/refuge of Hagar will be confiscated by patriarchal values throughout history. Hagar, the founder of the nation, through time becomes a secondary figure, almost forgotten, in the three Abrahamic traditions. In this investigation, we are trying to make a feminine interpretation of the origin of the Islamic city, revitalizing the role of the slave Hagar as founder of the Arab nation.
