  • Processions

    Urban Ritual in Byzantium and Neighboring Lands

    Series Libro 12 - Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Symposia and Colloquia
    Processions of all kinds—military, civic, religious, and more—were hallmarks of the ancient and medieval world. Yet urban processions in Byzantine culture have never been thoroughly studied, even though there were as many as two processions a week in Constantinople alone, often featuring eminent individuals like the emperor and the patriarch, but also less prominent people, like the teams who ...

    An Annotated Survey

    Papers from the Thirtieth Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Birmingham, March 1996

    Edición de Leslie Brubaker ...
    Series series Publications of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies
    9th-century Byzantium has always been viewed as a mid-point between Iconoclasm and the so-called Macedonian revival; in scholarly terms it is often treated as a ’dead’ century. The object of these papers is to question such an assumption. They present a picture of political and military developments, legal and literary innovations, artisanal production, and religious and liturgical changes from ... Leer más

  • Global Byzantium

    Papers from the Fiftieth Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies

    Series series Publications of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies
    Global Byzantium is, in part, a recasting and expansion of the old ‘Byzantium and its neighbours’ theme with, however, a methodological twist away from the resolutely political and toward the cultural and economic. A second thing that Global Byzantium – as a concept – explicitly endorses is comparative methodology. Global Byzantium needs also to address three further issues: cultural capital, the ... Leer más

  • Approaches to the Byzantine Family

    Edición de Leslie Brubaker, Shaun Tougher ...
    Series series Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies
    The study of the family is one of the major lacunas in Byzantine Studies. Angeliki Laiou remarked in 1989 that ’the study of the Byzantine family is still in its infancy’, and this assertion remains true today. The present volume addresses this lacuna. It comprises 19 chapters written by international experts in the field which take a variety of approaches to the study of the Byzantine family, and ... Leer más

  • Brother-Making in Late Antiquity and Byzantium

    Monks, Laymen, and Christian Ritual

    de Claudia Rapp ...
    Series series Onassis Series in Hellenic Culture
    Among medieval Christian societies, Byzantium is unique in preserving an ecclesiastical ritual of adelphopoiesis, which pronounces two men, not related by birth, as brothers for life. It has its origin as a spiritual blessing in the monastic world of late antiquity, and it becomes a popular social networking strategy among lay people from the ninth century onwards, even finding application in ...
