  Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)

  The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

  Workers and Mobility in the Early Modern Cities: Actors and Strategies

  The important changes that are currently taking place in the job market have prompted historical consideration of the issues of job insecurity and flexibility. Far from being exclusive to modern day societies, a mobile workforce - above all between sectors - was also a feature of the early modern world of work. The work of charitable organisations and confraternities, individual and family strategies, career paths, contracts and work agreements are all fields in which traces of this mobility are visible and it was seen not so much, or not solely, as a chance for social betterment but also and above all as a unstable state. The goal of this workshop is to contribute to an analysis of certain more specific labour mobility issues in the light of the historical debate which has taken place over recent years.

  Les métiers de la parole (Occident, XIIIe-XVIIe siècle)

  Apprentissage, pratiques didactiques et transmission des savoir-faire techniques

  L’exercice des "métiers de la parole" qui apparaissent au XIIIe siècle nécessite l’apprentissage exigeant de savoir-faire oratoires et de codes rhétoriques, dont la transmission et l’acquisition imposent des pratiques didactiques spécifiques. S’il importe de poser la question du rapport entre savoir théorique et savoir pratique, il s’agit d’interroger le temps qui existe entre la fin des études et la pleine maîtrise de la pratique professionnelle. Si le prédicateur, le professeur, l’avocat et l’acteur se posent en figures emblématiques des ‘métiers de la parole’, ne sont pas exclus de l’étude les métiers pour lesquels la parole, sans être au centre de la production professionnelle, est un des moyens de l’exercice : l’ambassadeur, l’officier royal, le notaire, le marchand, etc. L'existence d'une possible communauté de culture professionnelle entre ces métiers n'a pas encore été envisagée : comment apprend-on son métier, quand l’exercice de celui-ci, bien que non manuel, nécessite un très grand savoir-faire technique ?
