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.

Athens
Transformation, renovation, continuity
Medieval culture and war conference
It is an undeniable fact of human history that war has been on many occasions and in many different historical contexts a powerful stimulus for innovations and change in culture, politicals, and thought. During periods of transition warfare had a crucial role in medieval societies. Following previous meetings in Leeds (2016), Lisbon (2017) and Brussels (2018) the 2019 Medieval Culture and War Conference will be held in Athens in the Faculty of History and Archaeology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). The conference will focus on ‘Transformation, Renovation, and Continuity’.

Administrative accountability in the later Middle Ages
Records, procedures, and their societal impact
The emergence of new types of financial records, the creation of institutional procedures, and the birth of a bureaucratic corps in a society in which accountability had been largely social and moral represent key developments in the history of the later Middle Ages. The colloquium will explore the multifaceted reality of administrative accountability in Western Europe, c. 1200-1450. Because the renewed interest in the subject makes methodological exchanges all the more timely, the colloquium will provide a venue for testing new approaches to the sources. Special attention will be given to underexplored archival documents, such as the castellany accounts (computi) of late-medieval Savoy, and to topics that have hitherto received less attention, such as the social impact of institutional consolidation. Comparisons with better-known texts, such as the English pipe rolls, are also encouraged.

Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia
Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives
This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean
Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries
What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.

The Trade in Luxury and the Luxury of Trade
The production, display, and circulation of precious objects from the Middle-Ages to the present day
Comment se produisent, s’exposent, se diffusent et se consomment les produits du luxe ? Le but du colloque est de revenir sur la question de la spécialisation progressive d’un commerce voué aux objets précieux. Il entend être une manifestation ouverte d’un point de vue chronologique, spatial et disciplinaire, faisant appel à des spécialistes d’horizons différents : histoire, histoire de l’art, économie, littérature, sociologie, etc. Il s’agira de montrer la richesse et la diversité de ce qui était (et reste) compris sous l’appellation de ‘luxe’ et d’observer comment se sont progressivement mis en place des marchés spécialisés. Deux approches spécifiques sont menées, d’une part les acteurs et les marchandises, d’autre part les lieux de vente et la puissance matérielle et symbolique attachée à ce secteur particulier de l’économie. Le colloque aura lieu les jeudi 22 et vendredi 23 novembre 2012 à Lyon (Musée Gadagne). La date-limite pour la soumission des propositions est le 31 décembre 2011. -

Providing Healthcare in European Cities, from the Middle Ages to the Early Nineteenth Century
How did the structures and form of provision of medical services develop in European cities from the Middle Ages to the early nineteenth century? In what ways did the demand for medical services among the population change? And how did the distinctive characteristics of urban settings and individual cities shape the ways in which healthcare was provided to their inhabitants? The Prague European Association for Urban History 11th Congress wellcomes proposals for the its Main Session M9. -
Brussels
Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
La rencontre se tiendra pour honorer le prof.Yoshiki Morimoto et coïncide elle-même avec le 45e anniversaire de la présentation par Adriaan Verhulst, prof. à l’Université de Gand, d’une communication fondatrice aux Semaines de Spolète. Dans celle-ci, A. Verhulst avait formalisé le cadre conceptuel qui allait présider à l’étude du « modèle domanial classique » carolingien. La présente rencontre ne cherche pas à revoir les acquis de la recherche relative au grand domaine carolingien ; elle vise plutôt à les confronter avec d’autres formes domaniales, avec d’autres modes d’organisation du patrimoine foncier et avec d’autres modes de prélèvement. Convaincus des vertus du comparatisme, les organisateurs de cette rencontre proposent de confronter les modalités de prélèvement du travail paysan et/ou de la mise en culture de la terre dans les zones proches de l’empire carolingien, mais moins directement soumises à son influence. -
