Description
Byzantine Studies as a Colonial Discipline? A Critical Historiography This book defines the parameters of the debate about whether Byzantine studies are a colonialist discipline. It proposes ways of thinking about the field's political and intellectual genealogies, hierarchies, and forms of exclusion. Scholars from various disciplines address the entanglements between Byzantine Studies and European colonialism, covering topics such as philological scholarship, art plunder, and curatorial practice. The book concludes with a bibliography that serves as a foundation for a coherent critical historiography. The contributors bring together diverse perspectives to urge practitioners to reckon with the discipline's complex history.
