13 Oct Forgotten Voices: The Untold History of Europe’s ‘Barbarians’
Join us for an engaging episode as we explore “Barbarian Europe” by Karol Modzelewski, a fascinating examination of the profound yet often overlooked influence of early Germanic and Slavic societies on European culture. While the legacies of the Christian Church and classical antiquity are well-documented, Modzelewski shines a light on the intricate world of the so-called “barbarians.” Through a meticulous analysis of ancient and medieval narratives and legal traditions, he reveals vibrant communities rooted in kinship and tribal ties. Discover how collective decision-making and a blurred line between the sacred and the mundane shaped these early societies. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that redefines our understanding of Europe’s cultural foundations!
