  The Circle of Money

  Practices, Politics, and Policy in Premodern Societies (6th-17th Centuries)

  Money is at once elusive and concrete. As a mode of economic exchange it exists within a relatively fixed playing field, with clearly delineated boundaries of benefits and costs. However, poor handling, bad advice, or even a bad turn at a game of chance can swallow money up in one fell swoop. The workshop will investigate this wide array of pre-capitalist, western and non-western contexts from the English Isles, Flanders, France, Germany, Italy, and China between the Middle Ages and Early Modern times.

  The urban experience of children and the institutional treatment of minors

  Rethinking the issue of age in the city

  Cette journée d’étude a comme objectif de croiser trois questions de sciences sociales qui sont habituellement traitées séparément : les institutions, l’âge et la ville. Pour ce faire, la journée s’interroge sur la production institutionnelle de l’enfance et des catégories d’âges. La dimension urbaine permet de mettre en contexte la réflexion sur le travail des intuitions qui s’occupent d’enfance et ses possibles variations dans des contextes et des tissus sociaux différents.
