| Abstract | The project Rethinking the Medieval Frontier has been presenting comparative research on frontier spaces and practices at the IMC since 2015. This session places three scholars in conversation via papers on the lived practices of border populations. Zavagno explores how several Mediterranean coastal cities had their administrative and political directions shaped by economic interactions with spaces 'outside' their home territories during late Antiquity; Coste investigates the regulation of border-crossing and trade between Aragón and France in the later Middle Ages; and Bueno studies hybridisation in funerary practices in border spaces between the Islamic and Christian zones of Umayyad-period Iberia. |
