Is Byzantine Studies a colonialist discipline? Rather than provide a definitive answer to this question, this book defines the parameters of the debate and proposes ways of thinking about what it would mean to engage seriously with the field’s political and intellectual genealogies, hierarchies, and forms of exclusion. In this volume, scholars of art, history, and literature address the entanglements, past and present, among the academic discipline of Byzantine Studies and the practice and legacies of European colonialism. Starting with the premise that Byzantium and the field of Byzantine studies are simultaneously colonial and colonized, the chapters address topics ranging from the material basis of philological scholarship and its uses in modern politics to the colonial plunder of art and its consequences for curatorial practice in the present. The book concludes with a bibliography that serves as a foundation for a coherent and systematic critical historiography. Bringing together insights from scholars working in different disciplines, regions, and institutions, Is Byzantine Studies a Colonialist Discipline? urges practitioners to reckon with the discipline’s colonialist, imperialist, and white supremacist history. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Andrea Myers Achi, Nathanael Aschenbrenner, Bahattin Bayram, Averil Cameron, Stephanie R. Caruso, Şebnem Dönbekci, Hugh G. Jeffery, Anthony Kaldellis, Matthew Kinloch, Nicholas S. M.

The Huns, invading through Dariali Gorge on the modern-day border between Russia and Georgia in AD 395 and 515, spread terror across the late antique world. Was this the prelude to the apocalypse? Prophecies foresaw a future Hunnic onslaught, via the same mountain pass, bringing about the end of the world. Humanity’s fate depended on a gated barrier deep in Europe’s highest and most forbidding mountain chain. Centuries before the emergence of such apocalyptic beliefs, the gorge had reached world fame. It was the target of a planned military expedition by the Emperor Nero. Chained to the dramatic sheer cliffs, framing the narrow passage, the mythical fire-thief Prometheus suffered severe punishment, his liver devoured by an eagle. It was known under multiple names, most commonly the Caspian or Alan Gates. Featuring in the works of literary giants, no other mountain pass in the ancient and medieval world matches Dariali’s fame. Yet little was known about the materiality of this mythical place. A team of archaeologists has now shed much new light on the major gorge-blocking fort and a barrier wall on a steep rocky ridge further north. The walls still standing today were built around the time of the first major Hunnic invasion in the late fourth century – when the Caucasus defences feature increasingly prominently in negotiations between the Great Powers of Persia and Rome. In its endeavour to strongly fortify the strategic mountain pass through the Central Caucasus, the workforce erased most traces of earlier occupation. The Persian-built bastion saw heavy occupation for 600 years. Its multi-faith medieval garrison controlled Trans-Caucasian traffic. Everyday objects and human remains reveal harsh living conditions and close connections to the Muslim South, as well as the steppe world of the north. The Caspian Gates explains how a highly strategic rock has played a pivotal role in world history from Classical Antiquity into the twentieth century.

Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen offers an example of an eastern European queen as a corrective to the western European focus of medieval queenship studies. Through a chronological approach, this book looks beyond the popular biographies of royal women such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Berengaria of Castile and gathers material from sources throughout Europe. It engages with modern queenship studies literature to create a collective biography of a Rusian queen through the various cycles of her life from the marriage of eight-year-old Verkhuslava to the death of the ruler of Minsk whose generosity is recorded, but not her name. For medievalists interested in women and queens, Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen provides an entry point to an area of Europe rarely studied in that literature. For Slavists, it presents a way of looking at medieval Rusian women that has not yet appeared in this scholarly tradition. Ultimately, this biography integrates Rus, and eastern Europe, into the medieval world and acts as an important reminder that women are essential to our history and thus to our overall understanding of the past. This book is of great use to students and scholars interested in the history of women, queenship, and medieval Europe.

Por Orlando Figes, autor de Los europeos . «Este es el libro de historia que necesitan para entender la Rusia moderna y sus guerras con Ucrania, con sus demás vecinos, con Estados Unidos y con Occidente». ANNE APPLEBAUM «Side verdad quieren entender la Rusia de Putin, anclada en su pasado de mitos, lean este excelente libro». ANTONY BEEVOR Orlando Figes, el gran especialista en Rusia, ofrece una nueva historia que da sentido al presente. La historia de Rusia se ha visto marcada como pocas por el empleo de mitos con fines políticos. Ningún otro país ha reinventado su propio relato con tanta frecuencia, en un esfuerzo perpetuo por adaptarse a los cambios de las ideologías dominantes, y esa tendencia es precisamente un aspecto vital de su cultura. Para comprender lo que depara el futuro del país -y lo que significa el régimen de Putin para Rusia y para el resto del mundo-, debemos desentrañar las ideas y los significados de esa historia. Desde sus inicios agrarios en el primer milenio hasta la era de Putin, pasando por los periodos de monarquía, totalitarismo y Perestroika, el brillante historiador Orlando Figes examina las claves que han marcado el destino del país, entre ellas la necesidad de un régimen autocrático para gobernar tan vasto territorio; la veneración del «Santo Zar» y el culto al líder; la creencia en un espíritu colectivista esencialmente ruso; y su oscilación entre el carácter europeo y euroasiático. Todos estos ingredientes permiten entender la Rusia moderna. En un momento en el que el país se aleja de Europa, esta historia de su pasado, a cargo de toda una autoridad en la materia y maravillosamente narrada, bien podría dilucidar su futuro. Sobre La historia de Rusia se ha dicho: «El gran narrador entre los historiadores rusos modernos». Simon Sebag Montefiore, Financial Times «Impresionante y profundamente inmersivo. Sería una pequeña tragedia si los observadores de Rusia no leyeran esta historia de Rusia». The Spectator «Figes sabe más sobre Rusia que ningún otro historiador». Max Hastings, The Sunday Times «Indispensable para entender el presente de Rusia. Su historia muestra cómo el mito y la realidad se mezclan peligrosamente en los relatos que este país cuenta sobre sí mismo». The Guardian «Excelente». The Times

In epoca sovietica, quando il comunismo sembrava un destino indiscutibile e la storia veniva modificata perché riflettesse quel fine, circolava una battuta: «La Russia è un paese con un futuro certo; è soltanto il passato a essere imprevedibile». Ogni nazione ha infatti i propri miti fondativi, periodicamente soggetti ad aggiornamenti e rielaborazioni. Ma nessuna come la Russia ha reinventato tanto spesso il proprio passato, nell'incessante sforzo di adeguarlo alle vicissitudini delle ideologie dominanti. In Russia, osserva Figes, «la storia è politica». Dalla fondazione della Rus' di Kiev, nel I millennio, all'era di Putin, passando per i campi di battaglia e le corti di Ivan il Terribile, Pietro il Grande, Caterina II e Nicola II, gli anni del totalitarismo e la perestrojka, l'autore esamina in queste pagine tanto i personaggi e gli eventi che hanno segnato la storia russa quanto le idee che ne hanno plasmato le azioni. E ripercorre lo sviluppo storico di quei miti e temi ricorrenti che, fin dalle sue origini nelle cronache medievali, ne hanno caratterizzato il racconto: Mosca come «Terza Roma» e il suo ruolo come salvatrice del cristianesimo e della civiltà; la tendenza imperiale verso una forma di governo autocratica; la ricerca da parte del popolo di uno zar santo e paterno, dispensatore di verità e giustizia, che avrebbe dato poi origine al culto di Lenin e di Stalin; l'etica del sacrificio radicata nel concetto di «anima russa»; l'utopia rivoluzionaria di costruire il cielo sulla terra. Così, sia che descriva l'incoronazione di uno zar in una cattedrale a lume di candela, l'epica resistenza alle invasioni di Napoleone e Hitler o l'assalto bolscevico al Palazzo d'Inverno nell'ottobre del 1917, Figes mostra le profonde continuità strutturali insite nella narrazione del proprio passato da parte dei russi. Il modo in cui la Russia è giunta a raccontare − e a reinventare nel corso del tempo − la propria vicenda millenaria, è infatti un aspetto fondante della sua cultura, delle sue convinzioni, della sua visione, e imprescindibile per una comprensione informata della Russia odierna.

'Een magnifieke, magistrale duizendjarige geschiedenis van Rusland.' Simon Sebag Montefiore Van het agrarische begin in het eerste millennium tot de perioden van monarchie, totalitarisme, perestrojka en autocratie hebben ideologieën en mythes een fundamentele rol gespeeld in de geschiedenis van Rusland. Historicus en groot Ruslandkenner Orlando Figes maakt duidelijk dat de Russische geschiedenis altijd vervlochten is geweest met mythische ideeën: de mythe van het 'Heilige Rusland', de 'heilige tsaar' en de 'Russische ziel'. Bovendien is er geen land waarvan de geschiedschrijving zo onderworpen is geweest aan de grillen van de heersende ideologie. Geschiedenis is in Rusland politiek; van Vladimir de Grote tot Ivan de Verschrikkelijke, van Catharina de Grote tot Vladimir Poetin. Rusland is een land dat bijeen wordt gehouden door ideeën die wortelen in een ver verleden, door historische denkbeelden die voortdurend worden herzien en herschreven om te voldoen aan de wensen van het heden en de verlangens voor de toekomst. Hoe de Russen tot hun verhaal kwamen, en het in de loop van de tijd steeds opnieuw hebben vormgegeven, is een cruciaal aspect van hun geschiedenis. 'Wie het hedendaagse Rusland van Poetin wil begrijpen, hoe dat wortelt in een mythisch verleden, moet Figes' imposante Het verhaal van Rusland lezen.' Antony Beevor 'Figes weet meer van Rusland dat elke andere historicus.' The Sunday Times
