Migration, Integration and Connectivity on the Southeastern Frontier of the Carolingian Empire
Series:
The collection Migration, Integration and Connectivity on the Southeastern Frontier of the Carolingian Empire offers insights into the Carolingian southeastern frontier-zone from historical, art-historical and archaeological perspectives.
Chapters in this volume discuss the significance of the early medieval period for scholarly and public discourses in the Western Balkans and Central Europe, and the transfer of knowledge between local scholarship and macro-narratives of Mediterranean and Western history. Other essays explore the ways local communities around the Adriatic (Istria, Dalmatia, Dalmatian hinterland, southern Pannonia) established and maintained social networks and integrated foreign cultural templates into their existing cultural habitus.
Contributors are Mladen Ančić, Ivan Basić, Goran Bilogrivić, Neven Budak, Florin Curta, Danijel Dzino, Krešimir Filipec, Richard Hodges, Nikola Jakšić, Miljenko Jurković, Ante Milošević, Marko Petrak, Peter Štih, Trpimir Vedriš.

"A book that serves as a stimulating introduction to a complicated part of European history. [...] This volume makes readers want to study the region in greater detail. Reading these articles will probably help instill a sense of self-confidence in the readers to tackle the available sources anew, or even attempt a comparative venture, for instance by measuring these conclusions against observations about identity formation in other frontier zones like Frisia, Catalonia, or Bretagne: also regions primarily described by enemies and overlords, but interpreted by "insiders". This may be the biggest achievement of this book: it shows that the "Southeastern Frontier of the Carolingian Empire" should be seen not as an Other, but as an equal".
