  Border towns and the resilience of frontiers in Early Modern cities

Papers may focus on questions of practice, concerning the resilience of local political elites and administrations or the local population. They may also deal with the contemporary considerations to change the space of both cities and states, political agendas, procedures to implement them and the 'instruments' to control these implementations.

  The hinterlands of the Mediterranean

  L'arrière-pays des villes de mer

  Organisé dans le cadre du Laboratoire international associé (LIA) MediterraPolis, le colloque vise à promouvoir une réflexion interdisciplinaire (sociologie, urbanisme, histoire, géographie et économie) sur les hinterlands – les territoires qui entourent les villes portuaires – dans le contexte des grandes agglomérations en Méditerranée. Au cours des siècles, les hinterlands se sont profondément transformés, dans leurs paysages, leurs habitats et leurs morphologies, avec des ceintures, des fragmentations et des conurbations changeantes, jusqu’à la formation des aires métropolitaines. L’objectif de ce colloque est d’étudier ces évolutions de longue durée, et de développer une réflexion sur les rapports multiples qui lient les villes et leurs hinterlands, observés notamment au prisme des mobilités qui façonnent les territoires métropolitains.
