Yet the Byzantines, geographically located at the heart of the upheavals that led from the ancient to the modern world, had abundant and sophisticated knowledge of the cultures with which they struggled and bargained. Ethnography After Antiquity examines both the instances and omissions of Byzantine ethnography, exploring the political and religious motivations for writing (or not writing) about other peoples. Through the ethnographies embedded in classical histories, military manuals, Constantine VII's De administrando imperio, and religious literature, Anthony Kaldellis shows Byzantine authors using accounts of foreign cultures as vehicles to critique their own state or to demonstrate Romano-Christian superiority over Islam. He comes to the startling conclusion that the Byzantines did not view cultural differences through a purely theological prism: their Roman identity, rather than their orthodoxy, was the vital distinction from cultures they considered heretic and barbarian. Filling in the previously unexplained gap between antiquity and the resurgence of ethnography in the late Byzantine period, Ethnography After Antiquity offers new perspective on how Byzantium positioned itself with and against the dramatically shifting world.Empire and after.Byzantine literatureThemes, motivesCultural awarenessByzantine EmpireEthnic attitudes in literatureEthnic attitudesByzantine EmpireEthnologyByzantine EmpireForeign countries in literatureAncient Studies.Anthropology.Classics.Cultural Studies.Folklore.History.Linguistics.Literature.Byzantine literatureThemes, motives.Cultural awarenessEthnic attitudes in literature.Ethnic attitudesEthnologyForeign countries in literature.Kaldellis Anthony293067MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787544003321Ethnography after antiquity3809420UNINA
