Across the Corrupting Sea (eBook, ePUB)

Post-Braudelian Approaches to the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean
Redaktion: Concannon, Cavan; Mazurek, Lindsey A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume reframes current discussions of the Mediterranean world by rereading the past with new methodological approaches. The work asks readers to consider how future studies might write histories of the Mediterranean, moving from the larger pan-Mediterranean approaches of The Corrupting Sea towards locally-oriented case studies. Scholars from several time periods and disciplines interrogate key concepts like cabotage, seascapes, deep time, social networks, and connectivity in the light of contemporary archaeological and theoretical advances in order to create new ways of writing more diverse histories of the ancient world that bring together local contexts, literary materials, and archaeological analysis.
