  The Circle of Money

  Practices, Politics, and Policy in Premodern Societies (6th-17th Centuries)

  Money is at once elusive and concrete. As a mode of economic exchange it exists within a relatively fixed playing field, with clearly delineated boundaries of benefits and costs. However, poor handling, bad advice, or even a bad turn at a game of chance can swallow money up in one fell swoop. The workshop will investigate this wide array of pre-capitalist, western and non-western contexts from the English Isles, Flanders, France, Germany, Italy, and China between the Middle Ages and Early Modern times.

  Forgotten Francophone areas

  Annual Meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society

  Le congrès annuel de la Société d'histoire coloniale française se tiendra du 18 au 21 mai 2016 à Ottawa.

Cependant, comme tous les ans, les propositions de communications sur d'autres aspects de l'histoire coloniale française sont les bienvenus.
