Beskrivning
Authority and Control in the Countryside looks at the economic, religious, political and cultural instruments that local and regional powers in the late antique to early medieval Mediterranean and Near East used to manage their rural hinterlands. Measures of direct control – land ownership, judicial systems, garrisons and fortifications, religious and administrative appointments, taxes and regulation – and indirect control – monuments and landmarks, cultural styles and artistic models, intellectual and religious influence, and economic and bureaucratic standard-setting – are examined to reconstruct the various means by which authority was asserted over the countryside. Unified by its thematic and spatial focus, this book offers an array of interdisciplinary approaches, allowing for important comparisons across a wide but connected geographical area in the transition from the Sasanian and Roman to the Islamic period.Contributors: Arezou Azad and Hugh Kennedy, Sobhi Bouderbala, Michele Campopiano, Alain Delattre, Jessica Ehinger, Simon Ford, James Howard-Johnston, Elif Keser-Kayaalp, Marie Legendre, Javier Martínez Jiménez, Harry Munt, Annliese Nef and Vivien Prigent, Marion Rivoal and Marie-Odile Rousset, Gesa Schenke, Petra Sijpesteijn, Peter Verkinderen, Luke Yarbrough, Khaled Younes.

Recensioner i media

" ... les actes de ce colloque apportent des données concernant des aspects très divers du contrôle des arrière-pays ruraux dépendant de centres urbains (mais aussi, dans un cas, d’un monastère) allant de Tolède à Balkh, et concernant l’anté-islam et les deux siècles qui suivent la conquête, avec tout de même une majorité de communications concernant l’Égypte et la Syrie." Pierre Guichard, Université Lumière – Lyon II, in Arabica 67 (2020): 637-643"The abiding merit of this volume is the attention it devotes to that most central of questions for any historian of the Middle East—that is, agrarian production and wealth and its connection to the maintenance of human settlement and culture." Matthew S. Gordon, in Journal of Near Eastern Studies 80/2 (2021)
