Verona
Islands and remoteness in Geography, Law, and Fiction
The conference seeks to explore how, in many ways, islands appear to be “geographical paradoxes”. Indeed, they are spatially remote places, which are, at the same time, bound to a continent by social conventions. The grounds of such puzzle are manifold. It is firstly a matter of spatial area. Secondly, the puzzle depends on how the political power projects authority over circumscribed spatial realms, including non-continental realms.

Merchants, jurists and other "intermediate groups" in Early Modern Southern Europe
Merchants, farmers, jurists, clerks in large institutions, secretaries, independent landowners, local elites and highly sought master craftsmen, among many others, are individuals with an ambiguous social status. Looking at who was not born exactly noble, nor exactly commoner, but stood on the border between one world and the other, is one of the goals of this initiative. As part of a project developed in Portugal focusing on the Holy Office’s familiaturas, it will be held on September 16 and 17, 2015, a workshop at Escuela Española de Historia and Archaeological in Rome. Our aim is to select a total of 8 applicants, that will be joined by 4 guest speakers, for a joint reflection on the dynamics and profiles of ‘intermediate groups’, as well as on the methodologies for their study in Early Modern Times.

Borders Past and Present. Materiality, Practices and Concepts
In recent years, the study of borders and boundaries has attracted the curiosity of scholars from different disciplines and informed a rich and diverse literature. With notable exceptions, most publications on the subject relate however strictly to their sub-field and discipline, paying only fleeting attention to the work produced in neighbouring disciplines. The aim of this workshop is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the European University Institute and other European universities and research institutions who study borders and border-related phenomena from different perspectives.

Florence
Conference, symposium - Political studies
Au cours des vingt dernières années, un grand nombre d’ouvrages ont envoyé l’Europe du droit. La plupart ont envisagé les rapports entre la Cour de justice de Luxembourg et ses divers relais économiques et sociaux. Ce récit judiciaro-centré sous-estime néanmoins la variété des « fonctions » qui ont été attribuées au droit et aux juristes dans la construction d’un ordre politique communautaire. L’objet de cette conférence réunissant à l'Institut universitaire européen (Florence) sociologues, politistes, historiens et juristes est de rouvrir ce dossier en croisant une sociologie des élites européennes (milieux juridiques européens mais formation et capital juridique des élites européennes) et une analyse des conflits entre savoirs et savoir-faire (économique, juridique, bureaucratique, etc) du gouvernement de l'Europe. -
