  Work in progress on North Africa - from Antiquity to the present day

  Ces dernières années, les recherches sur l’Afrique du Nord ont fait l’objet d’un dynamisme certain, toutes périodes historiques confondues. Le nombre d’études en cours, la variété des sujets et la diversité des approches sont importants et porteurs de renouvellements historiographiques. Malgré ce mouvement général, force est de constater une tendance au maintien des découpages chronologiques classiques des grandes périodes historiques dans les cadres d’analyse et dans les évènements scientifiques eux-mêmes. Partant de ce constat, l’université de Rouen et le Groupe de recherche d'histoire (GRhis) organisent une journée d’étude dont la finalité est la rencontre entre chercheurs de toutes périodes dont les travaux en cours portent sur l’Afrique du Nord.

  Typical Venice?

  Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries

  What are “Venetian” commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts. This conference focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods.

  All the Beauty of the World. The European Market for non-European Artefacts (18th-20th century)

  In the wake of the Western expansion, a fast growing number of non-European artefacts entered the European market. They initially made their way into princely cabinets of curiosities. Enabled by the forced opening and exploitation of more and more parts of the world and pushed by social and technological changes of the time, the 18^th century brought a boom of the market of non-European artefacts in Europe. This came along with the emergence of a broader collecting culture and the development of a rich museumscape. This market and its development in terms of methods and places of exchange and monetary and ideological value of the objects are in the focus of an international symposium that will take place in October 2016 in Berlin.
