Staying connected in the post-Roman West: cities, territories and social interactions after the Empire
La comunicación en Occidente tras la caida del Imperio romano: ciudades, territorios e interacción social
Este workshop está concebido como foro de discusión sobre las dinámicas económicas y culturales que caracterizaron los territorios del Mediterráneo y Europa Noroccidental tras la desintegración del poder romano Imperial en Occidente, al tiempo que pretende indagar en las influencias y conexiones que Roma pudo seguir irradiando en las regiones occidentales. La evidencia material permite en la actualidad discutir y repensar la centralidad de Roma como capital atemporal para la organización del poder político y religioso en los territorios ocupados por los nuevos reinos emergentes, tanto ideológica como cultural, así como evaluar el papel de Bizancio y otras influencias del mundo irlandés y escandinavo en las zonas septentrionales y occidentales entre la Antigüedad tardía y Alta Edad Media.
The centrality of Rome as a timeless and sacred place was an essential reference for power in Late Antiquity, both ideological and cultural, followed by the various territories and kingdoms of Europe alongside that provided by Byzantium, although other influences from the Irish and Scandinavian worlds played a key role in the northern and western areas. Current debates in interpreting the role and influence of Rome within the wider Mediterranean and Northern limes and the interrogation of late antique local-central power relationships have transformed our conception of landscape, governance and social dynamics. Scholars in recent decades have developed complex discussions about the political, economic and cultural aspects of this period, and around the power relationships between Rome and the newly emerging kingdoms of early medieval Europe, their local aristocracies and the Roman Catholic Church. This workshop focuses on the former Roman Empire in the Late Antique and the Early Medieval periods, with specific attention upon large-scale urban developments and their territories in order to rethink regional, local, and empire-wide perspectives.
