  Visible and invisible borders between Christians and Muslims in the Early Modern World

  It has traditionally been argued that with the rise of the modern nation state, borders increasingly became lines demarcating the spatial limits of state power. Recent efforts have been made to re-examine this territorial argument and pay close attention to the social, cultural, political, economic, and religious networks that created, reinforced, and also traversed borderlands. Though war, conquest, and diplomacy repeatedly redrew the dividing lines between empires and kingdoms, extensive interactions and exchanges left the borderlands with deeply entangled roots and routes. These patterns, mechanisms, and forces had a deep impact on all aspects of life and are still felt today. Arguably, no single element has been more dominant in shaping this complex relationship than the regional historiographies and historical memories that tried to write the empires out of their pasts entirely.

  Les bassins miniers et les problématiques du développement social, économique et territorial

  Réalités maghrébines et d’Afrique de l'Ouest

  L’Afrique est connue par la richesse minière de son sous-sol. Elle représente environ 30 %des réserves mondiales de matières premières minérales non énergétiques (bauxite, cuivre, cobalt, chromite, etc.) et produit près de 60 minerais et métaux. Le continent abrite plus de 40% des réserves aurifères (Or) et entre 80% et 90% du chrome et du platine et des réserves très importantes de divers minerais (diamant, cobalt, uranium, fer, etc.). Sur le plan économique, la demande mondiale et les prix des minéraux et des métaux ont connu une forte croissance fluctuante depuis 2007 ; de même pour les investissements et l’exploration minière en Afrique, un constat qui a conduit vers une forte croissance de l’industrie minière. Cette croissance est-elle bénéfique au développement socioéconomique des pays africains ?

  The Routes of Medieval Africa

  11th-17th centuries

  This symposium will take stock of the theoretical ambition of this programme, relative to the disciplinary tools available to us today, to disclose, to distinguish and above all to ponder the historical connections established. If the plants, epidemics, commercial goods or written materials are proof of often-forgotten connections, they inform us only indirectly on the intensity and consequences of these economic, political and cultural connections for the societies of Southern, Eastern or Western Africa. Starting from this observation, the historians, archaeologists, linguists, and philologists involved in this release will reflect on multidisciplinary models that go beyond the observation of a connection and switch towards a more integrative concept of “route,” understood, in the broader sense, as a connection in progress. I this respect, the third and final objective of this symposium will stimulate further reflection on the routes that crisscrossed medieval Africa, and the practices, mobilities, and representations that they created.

  Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity

  We invite contributions for our Workshop “Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity”, happening at Humboldt University Berlin, 24-25 May 2019. The materiality of technologies and infrastructures is significant; however, we think their impact on and interaction with societies has to be analysed in a global dimension as well. We hope to establish this approach for the broader field of African History, reacting and bringing attention to a growing interest in these questions indicated in a number of recently developed research projects and publications.
