Italy in Late Antiquity and the Early Mi Entangled Semantics of Power Between Byzantium and the Italian Peninsula: Worlds in Words (8th-13th Centuries), (Hardcover)

<p><i>Entangled Semantics of Power between Byzantium and the Italian Peninsula</i> sheds new light on the dynamics of mutual influence and cultural cross-pollination 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 exchange.</p><p>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 cultural cross-pollination between Byzantium and Italy.</p><p>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.</p>
