The Byzantine Neighbourhood contributes to a new narrative
regarding Byzantine cities through the adoption of a neighbourhood
perspective. It offers a multi-disciplinary investigation of the
spatial and social practices that produced Byzantine concepts of
neighbourhood and afforded dynamic interactions between different
actors, elite and non-elite. Authors further consider
neighbourhoods as political entities, examining how varieties of
collectivity formed in Byzantine neighbourhoods translated into
political action. By both acknowledging the unique position of
Constantinople, and giving serious attention to the varieties of
provincial experience, the contributors consider regional factors
(social, economic, and political) that formed the ties of local
communities to the state and illuminate the mechanisms of empire.
Beyond its Byzantine focus, this volume contributes to broader
discussions of premodern urbanism by drawing attention to the
spatial dimension of social life and highlighting the involvement
of multiple agents in city-making.
