Further, the traditionally accepted historiographical view indicates that a radical change in socio-political structures occurred, marking a transition from territorial polities to “national” or ethnic polities. The discussion offered in this paper aims at challenging such a view and observing the fundamental permanence, after the twelfth century crisis, of hierarchical structures based on kinship and patronage; socio-political structures which informed the basic internal and external dynamics of the local kingdoms. Lastly, it is presented a hypothesis concerning the relevance of political attachment and subordination for the creation of ethnic identities in the Iron Age Levant. Entre 1300 y 900 a.n.e., las regiones de Siria y de Palestina experimentaron una serie de disrupciones y reacomodamientos, especialmente en la escena política. Más aún, la opinión historiográfica tradicionalmente aceptada indica que un cambio radical en las estructuras sociopolíticas ocurrió, marcando una transición de organizaciones políticas territoriales a organizaciones “nacionales” o étnicas. La discusión presentada en este trabajo apunta a revisar dicha opinión y a observar una permanencia fundamental, luego de la crisis del siglo XII, de las estructuras jerárquicas basadas en el parentesco y el patronazgo; estructuras sociopolíticas que proporcionaban las pautas básicas en la dinámica interna y externa de los reinos locales. Finalmente, se presenta una hipótesis al respecto de la relevancia de la adscripción y la subordinación políticas en la creación de identidades étnicas en el Levante durante la Edad del Hierro. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/7112 10.34096/rihao.n20.7112 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/7112/6357 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 20 (2019); 123-140 2683-9660 0325-1209 Syria-Palestine Late Bronze Age Iron Age Socio-Politics Patronage Ethnicity Siria-Palestina Edad del Bronce Tardío Edad del Hierro sociopolítica patronazgo etnicidad Changes and Continuities in the Levant (ca. 1300-900 BCE): A Socio-Political Synthesis Cambios y continuidades en el Levante (ca. 1300-900 a.n.e.): Una propuesta de síntesis sociopolítica info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=7112_oai
