#kzoo2017 #s389 Atmospheric Medievalisms @postmedieval session is great but am taking a break from live-tweeting; will tweet more later!
#kzoo2017 #s389 EChristie: AS atmospheres -Riddles objects, seated heroism, distorted prcptns & unmeasurable distance; Aristotlean neologism
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: Safrā & bad husband as "metonym for Mediterranean exchange" via networks they traversed, economic history took place
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: not surprising 3 linked regions in Mediterranean were under Fatimid rule; logistics & customs (2 meanings) smoother
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: Fatimids had unified regions across Mediterranean & Levant; merchant networks as part of sociopolitical unit helps
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: What put the various economic regions together? 11c political landscape (w/o Holy Roman Empire) important context
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: archaeologists have been confirming #Arab writing about #Sicily; historicl corroboration despite his cultural biases
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham on #Sicily's pan-#Byzantine links; cermaics from East & Italy, pottery made in #Palermo imitating Tunisian styles
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham turning now to #Sicily and importance of archaeology research and increasing interest in its interconnected economy
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham on overlapping & competing productions/sales in 11c Egyptian exchange thru Fatimid period as whole
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham revealing local competing systems/networks of trade; density & complexity of choices where merchants focus activities
#kzoo2017 #p2 CWickham: complex commcl patterns along Nile Valley; gaps in evidence re which places mentioned in letters; concurrent systems
