Beskrivning

Entangled Semantics of Power between Byzantium and the Italian Peninsula sheds new light on the dynamics of mutual influence and cultural interaction between Byzantium and Italy from the 8th to the 12th century. Interdisciplinary in scope, it offers a fresh perspective on the medieval Mediterranean by taking a concrete look at the social and political dynamics that underpinned cultural transfer.Traditionally, the history of the interactions between Italy and Byzantium has been studied primarily as a history of diplomatic relations among political powers. As a result, historians have tended to focus on the political and economic outcomes of such contacts, rather than their social and cultural impact. The book moves beyond this framework and offers a deeper understanding of the social and political dynamics that drove cross-pollination between Byzantium and Italy.Particularly suited for those interested in interdisciplinary approaches to historical analysis and the impact of cross-cultural interactions on institutional practices, this book is a valuable reference for researchers in the field of medieval history, Byzantine studies, and Mediterranean cultural exchange.
