Byzantium In The Eleventh Century - Being In Between

60,94€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <P>The eleventh century in Byzantium is all about being in between, whether this is between Basil II and Alexios Komnenos, between the forces of the Normans, the Pechenegs and the Turks, or between different social groupings, cultural identities and religious persuasions. It is a period of fundamental changes and transformations, both internal and external, but also a period rife with clichés and dominated by the towering presence of Michael Psellos whose usually self-contradictory accounts continue to loom large in the field of Byzantine studies. The essays collected here, which were delivered at the 45th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, explore new avenues of research and offer new perspectives on this transitional period. The book is divided into four thematic clusters: ''The age of Psellos'' studies this crucial figure and seeks to situate him in his time; ''Social structures'' is concerned with the ways in which the deep structures of Byzantine society and economy responded to change; ''State and Church'' offers a set of studies of various political developments in eleventh-century Byzantium; and ''The age of spirituality'' offers the voices of those for whom Psellos had little time and little use: monks, religious thinkers and pious laymen. </P>

Byzantine Orthodoxies - Papers From The Thirty-Sixth Spring Symposium Of Byzantine Studies, University Of Durham, 23-25 March 2002

66,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Byzantine Empire - the Christianized Roman Empire - very soon defined itself in terms of correct theological belief, ''orthodoxy''. The terms of this belief were hammered out, for the most part, by bishops, but doctrinal decisions were made in councils called by the Emperors, many of whom involved themselves directly in the definition of ''orthodoxy''. Iconoclasm was an example of such imperial involvement, as was the final overthrow of iconoclasm. That controversy ensured that questions of Christian art were also seen by Byzantines as implicated in the question of orthodoxy. The papers gathered in this volume derive from those presented at the 36th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Durham, March 2002. They discuss how orthodoxy was defined, and the different interests that it represented; how orthodoxy was expressed in art and the music of the liturgy; and how orthodoxy helped shape the Byzantine Empire''s sense of its own identity, an identity defined against the ''other'' - Jews, heretics and, especially from the turn of the first millennium, the Latin West. These considerations raise wider questions about the way in which societies and groups use world-views and issues of belief to express and articulate identity. At a time when, with the enlargement of the European Union, questions of identity within Europe are once again becoming pressing, there is much in these essays of topical relevance.

Byzantium In The Ninth Century: Dead Or Alive? - Papers From The Thirtieth Spring Symposium Of Byzantine Studies, Birmingham, March 1996

79,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 9th-century Byzantium has always been viewed as a mid-point between Iconoclasm and the so-called Macedonian revival; in scholarly terms it is often treated as a ’dead’ century. The object of these papers is to question such an assumption. They present a picture of political and military developments, legal and literary innovations, artisanal production, and religious and liturgical changes from the Anatolian plateau to the Greek-speaking areas of Italy that are only now gradually emerging as distinct. Investigation of how the 9th-century Byzantine world was perceived by outsiders also reveals much about Byzantine success and failure in promoting particular views of itself. The chapters here, by an international group of scholars, embody current research in this field; they recover many lost aspects of 9th-century Byzantium and shed new light on the Mediterranean world in a transitional century. The papers in this volume derive from the 30th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held for the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies at the University of Birmingham in March 1996.

 The eastern frontier of Byzantium and the interaction of the peoples that lived along it are the themes of this book.

Presenting research from Russia and Georgia as well as Europe and the USA, the contributors stress the interaction and interdependence of all the peoples along this frontier zone, and consider the different ways in which the political and cultural power of Byzantium was appropriated. They provide important comparative evidence for the relationship between local and Byzantine cultures, and open up new avenues for research into the history of eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus. The volume arises from the thirty-third Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies held at the University of Warwick in March 1999.
