  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.

  Merchants, jurists and other "intermediate groups" in Early Modern Southern Europe

  Merchants, farmers, jurists, clerks in large institutions, secretaries, independent landowners, local elites and highly sought master craftsmen, among many others, are individuals with an ambiguous social status. Looking at who was not born exactly noble, nor exactly commoner, but stood on the border between one world and the other, is one of the goals of this initiative. As part of a project developed in Portugal focusing on the Holy Office’s familiaturas, it will be held on September 16 and 17, 2015, a workshop at Escuela Española de Historia and Archaeological in Rome. Our aim is to select a total of 8 applicants, that will be joined by 4 guest speakers, for a joint reflection on the dynamics and profiles of ‘intermediate groups’, as well as on the methodologies for their study in Early Modern Times.

  Valorisation des savoir-faire productifs et stratégies de développement territorial

  Patrimoine, mise en tourisme et innovation sociale

  Ce colloque est organisé par le CERAMAC (laboratoire de géographie humaine) et le département Métiers de la culture de l’université Blaise-Pascal de Clermont-Ferrand. Il aura lieu à Saugues, en Haute-Loire, en prolongement d’une recherche-action dans le champ de l’innovation sociale effectuée en 2013 et 2014 sur la filière laine locale. Il a pour objectif de croiser les regards de chercheurs et d’acteurs autour de la valorisation des savoir-faire productifs. Nous souhaitons, à cette occasion, aborder le lien entre le développement économique d’activités de production dans les domaines de l’artisanat, l’industrie ou l’agriculture, et leur valorisation patrimoniale et touristique, dans une perspective de développement territorial. Le colloque sera organisé de telle sorte qu’il permette des temps de présentation de recherches en cours, et des retours d’expérience en France ou en Europe.
