  • Integrating Genetic, Archaeological, and Historical Perspectives on Eastern Central Europe, 400–900 AD

    Open AccessWalter Pohl, Johannes Krause et al.ARTICLEHistorical Studies on Central…2021

    Few parts of Europe witnessed so many population shifts in a few centuries as the Carpathian Basin in 400–900 CE. In this macro-region along the middle Danube, Pannonians, Romans, Goths, Gepids, Longobards, Avars, Bulgars, Slavs, Franks and many others came and went. This is an intriguing test case for the relationship between ethnic identities constructed in texts, cultural habitus attested in the archaeological record, and genetic profiles that…

    Patrick Geary, Patrick J GearyARTICLEHistory and Anthropology2015Cited by: 4References: 10

    This essay reflects on the relationship between anthropological and historical scholarship of ethnicity, picking up on themes explored by Andre Gingrich, by considering the epistemological and evidentiary limitations of social scientific and historical analysis and reconstruction. Beginning with the consideration of the pioneering transdisciplinary efforts of Robert Darnton and Clifford Geertz, it argues that many of the weaknesses ascribed to su…

  • Sacred commodities

    Open AccessPatrick Geary, Patrick J GearyCHAPTERSocial Life of Things1986

    An examination of sacred relics as commodities in the Middle Ages may seem to be pushing the definition of commodities as “goods destined for circulation and exchange” to an extreme. Could one reasonably describe a human body or portions thereof as destined for circulation? Can we really compare the production and circulation of saints' remains to that of gold in prehistoric Europe, cloth in pre-Revolutionary France, or qat in northeastern Africa…

D'une part, les religieux priaient pour le salut et pour le bien-être de la population locale, en particulier pour leurs donateurs et bienfaiteurs. Être mentionné dans les prières des religieux pendant sa vie et après sa mort était fondamental pour une population obsédée par l'insécurité de la vie d'ici-bas et par l'…
