Zu den interessantesten und aufschlussreichsten Themen der historischen Forschung gehört der Transformationsprozess, in dessen Verlauf sich aus dem spätantiken Imperium Romanum das Byzantinische Reich und die Welt des Frühen Mittelalters entwickelten. Dieser Prozess ist von Kontinuitäten ebenso wie von Diskontinuitäten geprägt und führte sowohl in den germanischen Nachfolgereichen im Westen (Franken, Vandalen, Ost- und Westgoten) als auch in Byzanz und seinen Randgebieten (Syrien und Ägypten) zu einem tiefgreifenden Wandel aller Lebensbereiche, der in den zeitgenössischen und späteren Quellen ganz unterschiedliche Darstellungen und Bewertungen erfahren hat. Im Mittelpunkt des Sammelbandes steht die Frage, ob und wie sich die Geschichtsschreibung dieser Übergangszeit mit den Veränderungen auseinandergesetzt hat, und welche Rolle hierbei das soziale und religiöse Umfeld, die regionale Verortung und die Einbindung in Gattungstraditionen spielte. Der interdisziplinäre, epochenübergreifende Ansatz des Sammelbandes, der Beiträge eines Kolloquiums zu Ehren Alexander Demandts vereint, erweist sich dabei als überaus fruchtbar und ermöglicht neue Einblicke in den Umgang mit der Geschichte in der Vergangenheit.

L’étude des occupations fortifiées de hauteur est aujourd’hui l’un des thèmes centraux de la recherche en archéologie des territoires et des peuplements, en particulier pour les âges des Métaux et la fin de l’Antiquité ainsi que le début du Moyen Âge. Pourtant, l’évolution des occupations de hauteur sur le temps long au cours de la Protohistoire et du haut Moyen Âge reste encore mal connue, tant du point de vue des dynamiques intra-sites qu’à l’échelle territoriale. C’est certainement là l’une des originalités de la journée d’étude organisée le 12 novembre 2019 par l’axe « Fabrique du paysage » de l’UMR ARTEHIS dont découlent les contributions présentées au sein de ce recueil. L’approche comparative entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge, au-delà d’une confrontation des modes d’occupation des reliefs et de l’appréhension de logiques spatiales communes aux deux périodes, se veut également méthodologique, avec pour ambition principale d’établir les premiers jalons d’un dialogue pérenne entre spécialistes. Au travers de six contributions faisant état des connaissances acquises sur des sites localisés en Auvergne, dans les Vosges et dans l’actuelle région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, ce dossier propose de nouvelles perspectives pour l’approche des occupations de hauteur, en prônant notamment une collaboration plus étroite entre spécialistes des deux principaux champs chronologiques abordés. Au final, le dossier ici réuni constitue une première étape modeste, appelant le renouvellement de ce type d’initiative dans le cadre de discussions plus larges pour mieux appréhender les liens entre dynamique d’occupation humaine sur le temps long et dynamique des paysages. The study of fortified hilltop settlements is one of the most important topics in territorial and settlement archaeology, especially for the Metal Ages, Late Antiquity, and the Early Middle Ages. Nevertheless, the long-term dynamics of hilltop settlements is still poorly understood, both in terms of intra-site…

„The Past through Narratology“ proposes a fresh approach to various types of texts from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Starting from a broad definition of what a text can be – ranging from hagiographic narratives and maps to archaeological remains – this book proposes narrativity and narratology as frameworks for exploring sources and exchanging opinions. The various contributions in this volume investigate how late antique and early medieval authors and movements used narrative as a vehicle for their ideas and how they operated in literarised spaces. At the same time, this book also examines how we as researchers construct narratives about our periods of study. „The Past through Narratology“ bietet neue Ansätze zur Interpretation spätantiker und frühmittelalterlicher Texte. Ausgehend von einer weit gefassten Definition dessen, was ein Text sein kann – von hagiographischen Erzählungen über Karten bis hin zu archäologischen Überresten –, schlägt dieses Buch Narrativität und Narratologie als Deutungsrahmen für die Erforschung von Quellen und den wissenschaftlichen Austausch neuer Ideen vor. In den hier versammelten Beiträgen wird untersucht, wie Autoren und literarische Bewegungen Sinnzusammenhänge in Erzählform brachten und sie in literarisierten Räumen positionierten. Gleichzeitig stellen sie die Frage, wie wir als Forscher Narrative über unsere Vergangenheit konstruieren.

This volume is dedicated to eliciting the interactions between localities across late antique and early medieval Europe and the wider Mediterranean. Significant research has been done in recent years to explore how late “Roman” and post-“Roman” cities, towns and other localities communicated vis-à-vis larger structural phenomena, such as provinces, empires, kingdoms, institutions and so on. This research has contributed considerably to our understanding of the place of the city in its context, but tends to portray the city as a necessarily subordinate conduit within larger structures, rather than an entity in itself, or as a hermeneutical object of enquiry. Consequently, not enough research has been committed to examining how local people and communities thought about, engaged with, and struggled against nearby or distant urban neighbors.Urban Interactions addresses this lacuna in urban history by presenting articles that apply a diverse spectrum of approaches, from archaeological investigation to critical analyses of historiographical and historical biases and developmental consideration of antagonisms between ecclesiastical centers. Through these avenues of investigation, this volume elucidates the relationship between the urban centers and their immediate hinterlands and neighboring cities with which they might vie or collaborate. This entanglement and competition, whether subterraneous or explicit across overarching political, religious or other macro categories, is evaluated through a broad geographical range of late “Roman” provinces and post-“Roman” states to maintain an expansive perspective of developmental trends within and about the city.
