Abstract | In this, the second of three linked sessions on Borders beyond Borders, we aim primarily to break down the divisions between fields: Medieval and Byzantine Studies, between these and Islamic studies, and then these three and Eurasian history as a whole. Similarly, we aim to break down the borders between disciplines: history, literature, archaeology, and gender studies. This panel focuses on the incredible variety of borders in the wider Asian world, containing papers on the relationship between Turkish Trebizond and Constantinople, the interplay between nomadic and settled powers in the landholdings of Mongol and post Mongol Muscovy, and bilingualism among Central Asian elites. |
