A Jewish Model of Devolution? Inheritance in the Medieval and Modern Jewish Societies
In the last two decades, the history of the Jewish family has been at the center of a number of studies that have – in the light of a more general historiographical evolution – considerably renewed the subjects and perspectives of this field of research. In this context that made the Jewish studies a well distinguished discipline, we wish to focus on an aspect that has never been studied systematically and has never been subject to a methodological and comparative synthesis: the patrimonial transmission.

The commerce of objects of Christian devotion: comparative approaches (16th-19th centuries)
L’objet de piété a longtemps été relegué en marge de l’histoire religieuse, sous l’étiquette du « populaire ». Dans le sillage de l’« histoire sociale des choses » (A. Appadurai), cette rencontre entend mettre en évidence la fécondité de l’objet de dévotion pour l’histoire du commerce et de la consommation, dans l’Europe catholique, mais aussi en Orient et dans les terres de mission. Comment aller au-delà du « vertige de la liste » (U. Eco) et du simple constat de leur prolifération ? Dans une perspective comparée, chacun des participants avancera, pour son terrain et dans son champ de compétence (histoire, histoire de l’art ou conservation), une proposition pour restituer la vie sociale des objets de piété modernes, entre XVIe et XIXe siècle.
