Cosmopolitanism and the city: urban production and consumption 1600-1800
International Conference on Urban History, Lyon, 27th - 30th August 2008
La session a pour objet d'étudier l'impact des échanges interculturels et des conflits ou contradictions engendrés par l'essor, aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, du commerce mondial, en particulier la circulation croissante des biens de consommation de luxe orientaux, américains, européens : quelles furent les relations entre ville, cosmopolitisme, nationalisme, production et consommation ? Trois thèmes seront abordés plus précisément : le poids grandissant des importations exotiques sur la consommation européenne ; les influences du cosmopolitisme sur les producteurs et les consommateurs (langage, lieux, identités...) ; les conflits ou contradictions culturels, politiques et économiques induits. -
Durham
Call for papers - Early modern
Durham University, 13-16 July 2007
How was power exercised, implicitly and explicitly, in the centuries of the medieval and Renaissance eras? How was it displayed and performed, theorised, ritualised, romanticised, codified, sanctified or opposed? The conference will consider questions such as these in a sequence of interdisciplinary sessions covering the full span of the periods and looking at social contexts ranging from the medieval republic of Iceland to the imperial courts of Renaissance Europe.
