  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).

  Cornerstones of noble identity?

  Aspects of loyalty, patronage and social flexibility in times of crisis: Aristocratic survival

  En dépit du foisonnement historiographique concernant les noblesses européennes des époques moderne et contemporaine, l’étude de leur adaptation aux périodes de crises (politiques, religieuses, militaires et/ou économiques) offre encore des perspectives de recherche, en particulier en ce qui concerne la complexe articulation entre, d’une part, leurs stratégies d’adaptation aux obstacles qu’elles rencontrent alors et, d’autre part, l’affirmation de valeurs intangibles et intemporelles sur lesquelles se cristallise l’identité du groupe. A travers les notions de patronage, de loyauté dynastique ou d’appartenance nationale et confessionnelle, l’idée est donc de questionner l’identité aristocratique dans ses discours, ses représentations et ses pratiques, telle qu’elle est remise en jeu lors de périodes de bouleversements majeurs, en en soulignant la diversité, les mutations et les persistances.
