Within this fertile social environment, Iceland ironically has been casted as a marginal society too remote to participate in global affairs, and destined to live in the shadow of its more successful neighbours. Drawing on new archaeological evidence, Tara Carter challenges this view, arguing that by building strong social networks the first citizens of Iceland balanced thinking globally while acting locally, creating the first cosmopolitan society in the North Atlantic. Iceland?s Networked Society asks us to reconsider how societies like Iceland can, even when positioned at the margins of competing empires, remain active in a global political economy and achieve social complexity on its own terms. 410 0$aNorthern world ;$v69. 606 $aSocial networks$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aComplexity (Philosophy)$xSocial aspects$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aVikings$zIceland$xHistory 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCosmopolitanism$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aIceland$xHistory$yTo 1262 607 $aIceland$xEconomic conditions 607 $aNorway$xRelations$zIceland 607 $aIceland$xRelations$zNorway 607 $aIceland$xAntiquities 615 0$aSocial networks$xHistory 615 0$aComplexity (Philosophy)$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aVikings$xHistory. 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCosmopolitanism$xHistory 676 $a949.12/01 700 $aCarter$b Tara$01535378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797263503321 996 $aIceland's networked society$93783537 997 $aUNINA
