  Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)

  The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

  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.

  For a comparative history of industrial risks regulation, 18th-19th c.

  If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment.

  Le travail comme ressource. Parcours individuels, mobilité et stratégies économiques dans les villes d’Ancien Régime

  Labour as resource. Individuals, mobility and economic strategies in pre-industrial urban societies

  Le but de ce colloque est de proposer une réflexion autour du travail d’Ancien Régime sous toutes ses formes, selon une définition du travail - issue de l'anthropologie - comme ressource primaire des individus. Le travail en Ancien Régime est un objet beaucoup plus complexe, souple et fluide de ce que la dichotomie corporations/travail libre laisse à croire. Il suffit de penser à la pluriactivité, au travail saisonnier, à la mobilité géographique et professionnelle, au travail des femmes, pour se rendre compte que la pratique d’un métier prenait plusieurs formes.
