Missing are the lives of the ordinary people who inhabited the route and contributed as much to its development as their itinerant counterparts. In this book, Kate Franklin takes the highlands of medieval Armenia as a compelling case study for examining how early globalization and everyday life intertwined along the Silk Road. She argues that Armenia-and the Silk Road itself-consisted of the overlapping worlds created by a diverse assortment of people: not only long-distance travelers but also the local rulers and subjects who lived in Armenia's mountain valleys and along its highways. Franklin guides the reader through increasingly intimate scales of global exchange to highlight the cosmopolitan dimensions of daily life, as she vividly reconstructs how people living in and passing through the medieval Caucasus understood the world and their place within it. With its innovative focus on the far-reaching implications of local practices, Everyday Cosmopolitanisms brings the study of medieval Eurasia into relation with contemporary investigations of cosmopolitanism and globalization, challenging persistent divisions between modern and medieval, global and quotidian. 606 $aHistory / Europe / Medieval$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / World$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Asia / Central Asia$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 607 $aSilk Road$xDescription and travel$xHistory 607 $aSilk Road$xHistory, Local 607 $aArmenia$xHistory$y428-1522 615 7$aHistory / Europe / Medieval 615 7$aHistory / World 615 7$aHistory / Asia / Central Asia 615 0$aHistory 676 $a956.6/2013 700 $aFranklin$b Kate$01074599 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583598103321 996 $aEveryday Cosmopolitanisms$92580091 997 $aUNINA
