Local Societies and Micropolitics in the Early Middle Ages
This session is a part of a series in which we aim to analyse the micropolitics. This would define some practices that allow a better understanding of the dynamics of local early medieval societies, using a ‘bottom-up’ view. The main argument is the study of the local scale politics through the approach to the actors, the conflicts, and the uses of writing.
