  The paths of humanism: professional mobility and cultural expansion during the Renaissance

  Diasporas. Circulations, migrations, histoire

  The history of humanism during the Renaissance is one of an international cultural circulation which saw the rise of “humanities studies”, born in north-central Italy at the turn of the fifteenth century, and which came to dominate other models for a large part of the Western élite during the next two centuries. If the exchange of letters and books was surely an important vector in the development of this movement, it is also important to consider this phenomenon in light of mobility, particularly the professional mobility of the learned adherents of these scholarly practices, by creating a dialogue between intellectual and social history.

  Contextualizing bankruptcy

  Publicity, space and time (Europe, 17th to 19th century)

  Although bankruptcy was a rather exceptional situation in the life of a merchant, it has explanatory power for routines of economic stakeholders, for their space of experience and their horizon of expectation. We can therefore use the irregularity of failure as an indicator of regularities. Considering the long, non-uniform and unsteady transition from merchant capitalism to industrial and financial capitalism, we suggest to start a dialogue between modernistes and contemporanéistes. The workshop focuses on the various forms of contextualizing business failure and puts forward three major research axes: Covering and Uncovering: Secrecy and Publicity; Economic Space and Area of Jurisdiction; Temporal Narratives of (In)Solvency.

  Urban spaces, mobility and "citadinité" in the Mediterranean cities (14th to 18th century)

  The panel focuses on mobility and insertion in the cities of the Mediterranean area, during the early modern age. Since the Ancient times, Mediterranean cities are centers for commercial and cultural exchanges, and crossroads of migratory streams. These "sedimented" cities have a long tradition of multi-cultural society and reception of foreigners while remaining, to this day pivotal centers for international circulation and migration, and gateways to Europe.

  Four Post-doctoral positions on "Luxury, Fashion and Social statuS in Early Modern South-Eastern Europe"

  New Europe College - Institute for Advanced Study

  Following the European Research Council competition for Consolidator Grants (2014), New Europe College became the Host Institution of such a grant. The project title is Luxury, Fashion and Social statuS in Early Modern South-Eastern Europe and its Principal Investigator is Constanţa Vintilă-Ghiţulescu, researcher at New Europe College and at the “Nicolae Iorga” Institute of History in Bucharest. The project aims to trace the role luxury played in the modernisation process in South-Eastern Europe, taking into account the specific features of the region and how South-Eastern European peoples, and their Byzantine and Ottoman heritage are viewed through the stereotype of “Balkanism”. The project’s findings will help towards a better knowledge of changes in European society in its transition to modernity, and of similarities and differences between the various regions of Europe.

  1660-1688: A Landmark Period in the History of British Sociability

  1660-1688: un tournant dans l’histoire de la sociabilité britannique ?

  Dans le cadre du projet interdisciplinaire « History and Dictionary of Sociability in Britain (1660-1832) », la journée d’étude du 14 novembre 2014, organisée par PLEIADE (université Paris 13) et HCTI (UBO Brest) vise à étudier la période de la Restauration à la Glorieuse Révolution (1660-1688) comme une période charnière dans l’histoire de la sociabilité britannique, portant en elle les germes d’une sociabilité nouvelle. Il s’agira d’identifier les facteurs politiques, sociaux, économiques et culturels propices à l’essor de la sociabilité britannique et d’interroger le caractère novateur des formes, des pratiques et des vecteurs de cette sociabilité.

  Les discours de la méthode en Angleterre, XVIe-XVIIe siècles : vers un ordre moderne ?

  À la Renaissance, les controverses philosophiques et scientifiques, ainsi que les nombreuses traductions de Platon créent les conditions d’un débat autour de l’idée de méthode, Aristote ayant été l’autorité incontestée en la matière jusque-là. Dès les années 1530, l’interrogation sur la méthode devient centrale, dans le domaine de la rhétorique, puis de la dialectique. Le terme « méthode » est ainsi redéfini tout au long du XVIe siècle et continue à faire l’objet de nombreuses querelles au siècle suivant. Dans un contexte où les disciplines ne sont pas encore distinctes, on recherche une méthode universelle qui offre une interprétation globale et générale du monde, mais la méthode est aussi perçue comme un outil de vulgarisation scientifique.
