  Conference, symposium - History

  Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages

  On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages.  Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

  Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

  Supplying and financing the court

  Economic relations between Iberian courts and urban societies at the end of the Middle Ages

  Ce colloque international organisé les 27-28 novembre 2014 à l'Universitat de València par Alexandra Beauchamp (U. Limoges, EA 4270-CRIHAM), Antoni Furió (U. València), la Casa de Velázquez (EHEHI, Madrid) et l'Universitat de València, se propose d’examiner les relations entre la cour et la cité qui l’héberge, entre les cours royales ou nobiliaires d’une part, et les citadins d’autre part, en terme d’approvisionnement et de financement, dans la Péninsule ibérique, aux deux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge. Il s'agit de mieux cerner les conditions économiques nécessaires pour que la cour puisse s’installer dans une ville, l’impact de la présence des cours sur la vie économique urbaine, la contribution des villes au train de vie fastueux des cours, ainsi que la concurrence ou les antagonismes au niveau économique, si ils existent, entre le monde curial et le monde urbain, ou entre les différentes villes.
