| Abstract | The object of this session is to discuss political, religious, and geographical aspects of the production of territories and their changing historiographical perceptions. Comparative analysis of some regions, that are often considered as marginal, will trace out the political practices at work as well as the function of the institutions of King, Bishop or Abbey. The three papers deal with the strategies of affirming power over political or ecclesiastical spaces. While K. Winckler analyses the different episcopal attempts of territorial appropriation of Carantania in the 9th and 10th century, J. Schneider explores the state of Frankish Brittany in the 9th century. Claire Lamy reviews the way the monks of Marmoutier (Tours) organised their possessions and the problems they encountered dealing with the margins of the pagi. |
