| Course Contents | ||
| An overview of late antique material and textual culture, covering the third through the seventh centuries. During this period, known as Late Antiquity, the ancient Greco-Roman world underwent profound transformations, which gave rise to the distinct medieval cultures of Byzantium, the Islamic Middle East, and Western Europe. Organized chronologically and thematically, the course addresses issues such as the transition from Roman to medieval economies, the transformation of cities, the rise of the institutional church and the development of Christian art and architecture, and the beginnings of monasticism. Readings will reflect the intersection of text and material culture represented by the disciplinary perspectives of the instructors, an archeologist and an historian, and the discussions will stress interdisciplinary solutions to methodological problems and historiographic debates. | ||
