This book asks how the inhabitants and neighbours of the Eastern Roman Empire understand their identity as Romans in the centuries following the emergence of Islam as a world-religion. Its answers lie in exploring the nature of change and continuity of social structures, self-representation, and boundaries as markers of belonging to the Roman group in the period from circa AD 650 to 850. Early medieval Romanness was integral to the Roman imperial project; its local utility as an identifier was shaped by a given community's relationship with Constantinople, the capital of the Roman state. This volume argues that there was fundamental continuity of Roman identity from Late Antiquity through these centuries into later periods. Many transformations which are ascribed to the Romans of this era have been subjectively assigned by outsiders, separated by time or space, and are not born out by the sources. This finding dovetails with other recent historical works re-evaluating the early medieval Eastern Roman polity and its ideology. Douglas Whalin is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Christian Oriental Research (ICOR) at the Catholic University of America. He earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, and was a DFG stipendiary fellow with the Center for Advanced Studies "Migration and Mobility in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages" at the University of Tübingen. He has published works on the social history of the Late Antique and Early Medieval Mediterranean world.

This volume examines interdisciplinary boundaries and includes texts focusing on material culture, philological analysis, and historical research. What they all have in common are zones that lie in between, treated not as mere barriers but also as places of exchange in the early Middle Ages. Focusing on borderlands, Continuation or Change uncovers the changing political and military organisations at the time and the significance of the functioning of former borderland areas. The chapters answer how the fiscal and military apparatus were organised, identify the turning points in the division of dynastic power, and assign meaning to the assimilation of certain symbolic and ideological elements of the imperial tradition. Finally, the authors offer answers to what exactly a "statehood without a state" was in regard to semi-peripheral and peripheral areas that were also perceived through the prism of the idea of a world system, network theory, or the concept of so-called negotiating borderlands. Continuation or Change is a useful resource for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars interested in medieval warfare, Eastern European history, medieval border regions, and cross-cultural interaction.

La thématique du voyage parcourt les sciences humaines et sociales, les lettres et les langues depuis très longtemps. Il est intéressant néanmoins de constater que les approches peuvent parfois se révéler complémentaires et/ou contradictoires en fonction des angles privilégiés par les chercheurs. De sorte que cette thématique fondamentalement interdisciplinaire et internationale a favorisé ici des analyses et réflexions d’ordre épistémologique, conceptuel et thématique à partir d’un fonds conceptuel commun aux différentes disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines en dialogue. Le présent volume en porte la marque à travers l’exploration de plusieurs thèmes et notions convoqués comme la mobilité, l’errance, la rencontre, l’altérité, l’ailleurs, l’exotisme. C’est pourquoi, les articles qui y sont réunis, résultat du colloque international et interdisciplinaire qui a eu lieu les 24 et 25 octobre 2019 à l’Université de Bucarest, abordent la thématique du voyage sous trois angles : premièrement, celui de l’épistémologie du voyage afin de voir comment les lettres, langues, sciences sociales et humaines appréhendent-elles la thématique du voyage, quelle qu’en soit sa forme, son contenu, sa temporalité et sa destination. Deuxièmement, sous l’angle des relations entre le réel et l’imaginaire par lesquelles, les recherches sur les voyages articulent ces deux catégories d’analyse et de pratiques d’acteurs sociaux. Troisièmement, sous l’angle des rapports entre le sujet, le récit et le lieu dans leur appréhension à travers les productions romanesques et les récits de voyage où s’articulent l’oral, l’écrit et l’image.

What did it mean to be Roman once the Roman Empire had collapsed in the West? Staying Roman examines Roman identities in the region of modern Tunisia and Algeria between the fifth-century Vandal conquest and the seventh-century Islamic invasions. Using historical, archaeological and epigraphic evidence, this study argues that the fracturing of the empire's political unity also led to a fracturing of Roman identity along political, cultural and religious lines, as individuals who continued to feel 'Roman' but who were no longer living under imperial rule sought to redefine what it was that connected them to their fellow Romans elsewhere. The resulting definitions of Romanness could overlap, but were not always mutually reinforcing. Significantly, in late antiquity Romanness had a practical value, and could be used in remarkably flexible ways to foster a sense of similarity or difference over space, time and ethnicity, in a wide variety of circumstances.

In this book, Liz James offers a comprehensive history of wall mosaics produced in the European and Islamic middle ages. Taking into account a wide range of issues, including style and iconography, technique and material, and function and patronage, she examines mosaics within their historical context. She asks why the mosaic was such a popular medium and considers how mosaics work as historical 'documents' that tell us about attitudes and beliefs in the medieval world. The book is divided into two part. Part I explores the technical aspects of mosaics, including glass production, labour and materials, and costs. In Part II, James provides a chronological history of mosaics, charting the low and high points of mosaic art up until its abrupt end in the late middle ages. Written in a clear and engaging style, her book will serve as an essential resource for scholars and students of medieval mosaics.
