Images and Borderlands: Mediterranean basin between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern Age

Following in the footsteps of Fernand Braudel, an increasing number of recent studies show that the Mediterranean basin might be considered as a “borderland”, “borderscape” or “Frontier” suggesting that this area is not strictly a border between Christian and Muslim civilization, but a basin in which the two traditions and cultures meet and overlap, with an extraordinary variety of reactions to the hegemonic practices (acceptance, conflict, refusal, dissent). The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who will discuss, from different perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, the variety of themes (topics) which revolve around the common issue of reflecting the problem of borderlands as a consequence of the encounter between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early modern Mediterranean. The starting point of examination will be images, i.e. the usage of images (pictures, mental images, literary images and other visual representations …) as historical evidence.

Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world

History, culture, heritage

This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

Mediterranean Europe in the EU: spaces, cultures, policies and players

Officina della Storia Review

Economic crisis has turned on lights on Mediterranean Europe’s countries and the role-played in the European integration process and as interface between the EU and countries, policies and cultures coming from Mediterranean Area. Moreover, events such the Arab Spring have brought back the idea of Mediterranean as a wide and complex meeting place where cultures, faiths, different political and social experiences meet, and sometimes clash, developing opportunities of dialogue and integration.

Metropolitan energy policies: the case of the Turkish cities

Call for paper for a Seminar at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (IFEA), co-organized by Eric Verdeil (Jean Moulin University in Lyon - UMR Environment City Corporation) and Jean-François Pérouse (Galatasaray University and IFEA). The report Energy and Urban Innovation (2010) by the World Energy Council underlines the fundamental role of cities in the energy transition and the interlocking of several series of actions, related to technology, economy and policy. It appears that the political and social practices are a major issue and justify an increased contribution of social sciences to the analysis of the implementation of these new policies. The seminar intends to address these issues in the case of large Turkish cities.

The mobility of economic activities and the re-composition of territories in the Mediterranean basin

Journal Méditerranée # 121

En étudiant la mobilité des activités, ce numéro de la revue Méditerranée s’inscrit dans une réflexion sur l’une des transformations majeures de ces trente dernières années : l’essor considérable de l’internationalisation des entreprises, sous l’effet de la libéralisation des mouvements de capitaux et de l’ouverture des marchés. Ayant favorisé un redéploiement significatif de la géographie des activités, cette dynamique s’incarne, selon le lieu, dans les phénomènes de délocalisations - facteurs de crise territoriale -, ou dans l’émergence de nouveaux territoires porteurs de croissance et d’attractivité. Ces transformations sont notables en Méditerranée qui, depuis le processus de Barcelone, se trouve au cœur d’un projet de zone de libre-échange.
