Moving Jobs: Occupational Identity and Motility in the Middle Ages & Cultural Brokers in European and Asian Contexts. Investigating a Concept - Volume 20. 2024

medieval worlds Volume 20. 2024

In this volume S. Liccardo and S. Wabnitz provide an in-depth study of Western and Chinese sources on marriage strategies, especially levirate in the early Middle Ages, additionally drawing on the latest results of ancient DNA analysis and anthropological insights. Our thematic cluster “Moving Jobs: Occupational Identity and Motility in the Middle Ages” focuses on the mobility of people in connection with their work and offers case studies on the Southern Tarim Basin (T. Høisæter), central Greece (G. Wu), Italy (A. Pazienza) and southern Germany (W. North). Our second thematic cluster “Cultural Brokers. Investigating a Concept” in which contributors explore this possible approach to agents of knowledge transfer in the context of their disciplines: K. Schaeffer in Tibetan Buddhist history, Ch. Pecchia in Colonial South Asia, C. Grifoni in early medieval Francia and C. Gantner in early medieval Italy/Byzantium. Introductions to both clusters provide methodological context and comparative insights.
