Abstract | The project 'Moving Byzantium' highlights the role of Byzantium as a global culture and analyses the internal flexibility of Byzantine society. It aims to contribute to a re-evaluation of a society and culture that has traditionally been depicted as stiff, rigid, and encumbered by its own tradition. This will be achieved by the exploration of issues of mobility, microstructures, and personal agency. This session focuses on reflections of mobility in written evidence from epigraphy, historiography and poetry from the Byzantine world and the Christian East between Late Antiquity and the 13th century, integrating archaeology and philological analysis. |
