  Rural History 2013

  Rural History 2013 is the first conference held under the auspices of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO). It is organised by the Swiss Rural History Society (SRHS) and the Archives of Rural History (ARH) in Bern and takes place at the University of Bern from 19-22 August 2013. The main aim of the conference is to provide an overview of the state of the art of rural history today. Another goal is to strengthen the existing networks and co-operation of rural historians and their institutions. The conference will be an excellent occasion for historians to discuss the basic question of what exactly rural history is, how it can be narrated and, crucial for the future development of rural history, how the attractions of rural history in an era of worldwide urbanization can be communicated to the younger generation.

  Manufacturers and merchants : making and exporting clocks and other luxury goods in the 18th century

  Roger Smith is an independent historian who was educated at the University of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2006. He is chiefly interested in the organisation of the manufacture and sale of clocks, watches and related luxury articles in the eighteenth century, including international aspects like the migration of craftsmen. He has done much research into the Anglo-Swiss watchmaking firm of Vulliamy of London, and is currently working on a major study of James Cox and his competitors in the trade in clocks and watches from Western Europe to Asia. As well as publishing extensively on such topics, he has acted as historical adviser to museums and auction houses, including the loan exhibition SingSong, Treasures from the Forbidden City at the Museum Speelklok, Utrecht in 2010-11.

  Forming a good citizen

  Social order and moral discipline in the cities of the Swiss territory (14th-18th century)

  Dès les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, on assiste dans de nombreuses villes de l'Europe occidentale à une ingérence croissante de la part des autorités municipales dans les affaires religieuses et à un contrôle accru des moeurs des citoyens. Les politiques déployées par les villes sont diverses et touchent de nombreuses pratiques et institutions urbaines. Le point commun de ces politiques est constitué par la volonté de contrôler et de soumettre tout citoyen (laïc ou ecclésiastique) à l'odre social et moral voulu par les autorités civiles. L'action des pouvoirs civils vise en définitive à la formation de bons citoyens, voire de bons chrétiens, les deux éléments n'étant pas dissociables.
