| Sumario: | 1. Empire is always in the making -- 2. Placing empire -- 3. Sovereign performance -- 4. The Pontic shatter zone -- 5. Nesting faults -- 6. Arresting geographies, ambiguous edges -- 7. Discipline and difference -- 8. Plain things -- 9. Ceasing empire -- 10. Concluding thoughts. "In this book, Claudia Glatz reconsiders the concept of empire and the processes of imperial making and undoing of the Hittite network in Late Bronze age Anatolia. Using an array of archaeological, iconographic, and textual sources, she offers a fresh account of one of the earliest, well-attested imperialist polities of the ancient Near East. Glatz critically examines the complexity and ever - transforming nature of imperial relationships, and the practices through which Hittite elites and administrators aimed to bind disparate communities and achieve a measure of sovereignty in particular places and landscapes. She also tracks the ambiguities inherent in these practices -- what they did or did not achieve, how they were resisted, and how they were subtly negotiated in different regional and cultural contexts"-- |
