Abstract | The nature of identity in the Early Middle Ages has been the source of a long and heated debate, especially in terms of ethnicity and political and religious belonging. However, despite the long tradition of place-based identities in social anthropology and sociology, this is not a model that has been used for this period. In this session we propose to address this issue of place-based identities through the concept of 'cognitive maps' in order to explore the saliency of locality in the Iberian Peninsula during the second half of the first Milennium. |
