From an urban perspective, ancient sources present a stereotypical, and mostly negative, view of mobile pastoralists, and periods of urban retreat and crisis have often been thought of as moments of rise of mobile groups.

The present volume proposes to think the dynamic interrelations between these aspects of mobility and settlement. In this sense, mobility was not restricted to certain modes of subsistence or habitation (such as mobile pastoralism), but the circulation of people, animals, objects and ideas ran across power relations, religious practices, exchange and different spatialities. The contributions gathered here address different aspects of these interrelations and problems in specific contexts. La cuestión del asentamiento y la movilidad de las poblaciones ha sido un foco de interés recurrente en el estudio del llamado Cercano Oriente antiguo. Las fuentes antiguas, desde una perspectiva urbana, presentaban una visión estereotipada, y por lo general negativa, de los pastores móviles, y los períodos de retraimiento y crisis del urbanismo han sido pensados como momentos de ascenso de los grupos móviles. Ahora bien, si, como se ha argumentado, los pastores podían vivir en las ciudades, o incluso las ciudades constituir asentamientos de pastores, la distinción entre entornos asentados y móviles parece diluirse. El presente volumen propone pensar las interrelaciones dinámicas entre los aspectos de movilidad y asentamiento. En este sentido, la movilidad no se restringía a determinados modos de subsistencia o habitación (como el pastoreo móvil), sino que la circulación de personas, animales, objetos e ideas cruzaba las relaciones de poder, las prácticas religiosas o el intercambio, y abarcaba espacialidades diversas. Las contribuciones aquí reunidas abordan distintos aspectos de estas interrelaciones y problemáticas en situaciones específicas.
