Description

Social Control in Late Antiquity: The Violence of Small Worlds examines power dynamics within the intimate communities of late antiquity, including households, monasteries, and schools where authority rested on personal relationships rather than institutional structures. The work investigates how fathers, husbands, teachers, abbots, and slave-owners exercised control whilst viewing themselves as guardians of social order, expecting legal and governmental systems to support their authority. This scholarly exploration addresses the resistance and tensions that emerged when community members challenged these hierarchies, revealing that enforcing obedience to established figures involved complex negotiations rather than simple compliance. Drawing on diverse historical sources, the book provides nuanced insight into the mechanisms of social control and the lived experiences of those navigating power imbalances within these small worlds of late antiquity.

Key Features

Explores power structures within late antique households, monasteries, and schools through the lens of personal relationships and authority.

Examines how authority figures justified social control as maintenance of order whilst examining resistance from community members.

Published by Cambridge University Press, a leading academic publisher specialising in historical scholarship and rigorous research.

Draws on diverse historical sources to illuminate the complexities of obedience, violence, and social hierarchy in late antiquity.
