Nonmodern Iberia was a fluid space of shifting political kingdoms
and culturally diverse communities. Scholars have long used a
series of obsolete investigative frameworks such as the
Reconquista, along with modern ideas of nation-states,
periodization, and geography that are inadequate to the study of
Iberia's complex heterogeneity. In Edging Toward Iberia Jean
Dangler argues that new tools and frameworks for research are
needed. She proposes a combination of network theory by Manuel
Castells and World-Systems Analysis as devised by Immanuel
Wallerstein to show how network and system principles can be
employed to conceptualize and analyze nonmodern Iberia in more
comprehensive ways. Network principles are applied to the
well-known themes of medieval trade and travel, along with the
socioeconomic conditions of feudalism, slavery, and poverty to
demonstrate how questions of power and temporal-historical change
may be addressed through system tenets. Edging Toward Iberia
challenges current historical and literary research methods and
brings a fresh perspective on the examination of politics,
identity, and culture.
