Venice, a Mediterranean regional power
Economic, maritime and political perspectives, 1669-1797
This seminar aims to explore the relationship between Venice and the Mediterranean between the loss of Crete, the last major dominion of Venetian maritime empire in 1669, and the end of the Republic in 1797. Through the analysis of economic and commercial exchanges, naval activities and diplomatic/military relations of the Serenissima in the Mediterranean, we aim to discuss the dynamics of transformation and adjustment of the Republic’s new status as a regional power faced with the challenges of an Inner Sea crossed and populated by more powerful and richer competitors.

Urban spaces, mobility and "citadinité" in the Mediterranean cities (14th to 18th century)
The panel focuses on mobility and insertion in the cities of the Mediterranean area, during the early modern age. Since the Ancient times, Mediterranean cities are centers for commercial and cultural exchanges, and crossroads of migratory streams. These "sedimented" cities have a long tradition of multi-cultural society and reception of foreigners while remaining, to this day pivotal centers for international circulation and migration, and gateways to Europe.

Elements of proof and commercial litigations in the Mediterranean (15th-19th century)
What can the evidentiary artifacts that are deployed to resolve commercial litigations tell us about the legal configuration of the Mediterranean between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries? Since 2012, the Mediterranean Reconfigurations research program (ConfigMed) has been studying commercial disputes, legal pluralism, and intercultural trade in the Mediterranean, at the crossroads of different traditions, legal regimes and referents. In this context, our method helps to address conflicts involving economic actors from Europe to the Ottoman Empire and North Africa, as well as to focus on the encounters, compromises and possible exchanges of these geographical entities. Systems of legal proof belonging to the prominent legal structures from ancient times to the modern era have been subject of several investigations and a wide range of publications between the late 1950s and early 1960’s, when the collapsing colonial empires discovered - or rediscovered - the foundations of indigenous legal theories, known to play a critical role in their independence.

Republican mobility in the Mediterranean (18th-20th centuries)
Suite à la première rencontre internationale organisée à Nice en 2009, La République en Méditerranée. Espaces, diffusions et représentations (XVIIIe-XXe siècle), le colloque qui aura lieu à Nice les 27 et 28 mars 2014 se propose de poursuivre la réflexion autour des transferts de l’idée de la République et de sa construction dans l’aire méditerranéenne au XVIIIe-XXe siècle, en nous interrogeant sur les capacités, les instruments, les sentiers, les hommes qui nous offrent la signalétique des mobilités. Les mobilités dans le champ du républicanisme méditerranéen peuvent être mises en perspective autour de trois axes qui se juxtaposent et se croissent : les itinéraires de transmission, les modélisations et les pratiques de coopération qui ont porté l'idée républicaine.

Migrant Communities and Urban Space in the Mediterranean ports, 17th-19th centuries
Tenth International Conference on urban History, Ghent 1st-4th September 2010
Recent research on migrant communities has witnessed a clear shift towards a more sophisticated understanding of the variety of bonds that link minority groups to the society they live in, as well as to their places of origins. Yet, when it comes to the understanding of past migrations, historical discourse still depends in many ways on traditional categories of analysis, that often poorly reflect the profound originality of the situations under study. This session is an attempt to challenge traditional and “ready-to-go” views on the organization of community life among migrants who lived in the Mediterranean port-cities during the late modern period (17th to 19th centuries). -

Commis-voyageurs et représentants de commerce
Le colloque propose de réunir divers travaux permettant de mieux connaître les commis-voyageurs, figures méconnues de l’intermédiation marchande, qui jouèrent un rôle grandissant dans le grand commerce à partir du XVIIIe siècle. Il se fixe pour objectif de parvenir à une meilleure définition de cette fonction qui ne se limitait pas à la stricte représentation commerciale et pouvait également impliquer la gestion de litiges ou la consolidation (et l’élargissement) des réseaux marchands de la firme. Il entend également délimiter la chronologie de ce métier (apparition, généralisation, transformation en « représentant de commerce ») et identifier les secteurs économiques et les régions qui furent pionniers dans le recours aux commis-voyageurs. Ce faisant, il espère pouvoir contribuer aux débats en cours sur l’existence, ou pas, d’une « révolution technologique » dans le domaine du commerce à distance, au XIXe siècle. Plus généralement, le colloque s’inscrit dans une réflexion diachronique sur les formes de la mobilité marchande depuis le XVIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours, ne négligeant pas les stratégies actuellement mises en œuvre par les firmes commerciales pour gérer des marchés distants.
