Historical perspectives
Ce colloque réunit des historiens, du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine, pour porter un regard historique sur la réputation des produits, des marques et des origines géographiques afin de mieux cerner leur développement, leur fonctionnement et leur influence dans le jeu des échanges. À travers des études de cas variés, des réflexions plus générales et en croisant les méthodes d’analyse, il s’agira de saisir, selon les époques et les lieux, les outils et les mécanismes de la construction de ces réputations et la manière dont elles agissent dans l’économie.

International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present
Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

A global history of free ports
Capitalism, commerce and geopolotics (1600-1900)
Exactly how free ports arose in early-modern Europe is still subject to debate. Livorno, Genoa and other Italian cities became famous as major examples of a particular way of attracting trade. Between the late eighteenth and the nineteenth century the existence of free ports – as specific fiscal, cultural, political and economic entities with different local functions and characteristics – developed from an Italian and European into a global phenomenon. While a general history of free ports – from their first emergence to the present-day special economic zones – has never been written, this research network aims to pave the way for such an enterprise. The history of free ports research network is organising a number of conferences in the next years, in order to work towards a standard publication and interactive research platform for the history of free ports from the XVIth to the early XXth century.

The Economy in writing: Medieval and Modern Economic records and their use
7th summer school of economic history
La septième école d’été d’histoire économique, qui se réunira à Suse (Piémont, Italie) les 27, 28 et 29 août 2018, aura comme thème « Les écritures de l’économie aux époques médiévale et moderne : de l’enregistrement de l’activité à l’usage des documents ». La vie économique implique le recours à l’écriture et la maîtrise de compétences multiples, qui vont de la mise par écrit des titres de propriété aux différentes techniques permettant de mesurer la circulation des flux d’objets produits ou d’argent entre les parties. Les organisateurs, reprenant des thèmes désormais familiers aussi bien aux médiévistes qu’aux modernistes, désirent travailler sur la question des rationalités pratiques telles qu’elles se dévoilent à travers les opérations qui peuvent être énoncées à l’aide des verbes, écrire, compter, mesurer.

Interrogating the “Trente glorieuses”
Models of Statehood in Postwar Europe
Understanding the Trente glorieuses not as a political-economic realitybut as a specific model of statehood with specific ideologicalunderpinnings opens a new way of looking at this period. At thisconference we want to reevaluate the political and intellectualpreconceptions on which the post-war decades are based and investigatetheir diffusion and circulation in democratic and non-democraticEuropean contexts. Focusing on the whole of Europe and not merely on astylized Western European model will allow us to broaden ourunderstanding of this time period and highlight concrete understandingsof statehood, the economy and democratic government. Examining thestatus, the adaptations and variations of the trente glorieuses modeland its synonyms across different political and social contexts inEurope after 1945 will allow us to reflect on the construction of thistime period in historical, political and economic thought.

European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Work organization in Medieval and Modern periods
6th summer school of economic history
The topic of the the sixth economic history summer school will enable us to continue and deepen the themes developed over the past few years (the value of things, poverty, common goods, means of payment and quality). While work involves acting on material things, its organization implies a reflection on the property of things, the relationships with time, discipline, control and know-how. On the part of governments, it also requires information that makes it possible to reflect on the state of economic life as well as on all the conflicts endemic to society, to be able to work out legal and practical devices that are necessary for the constitution of a particular knowledge. It also finally questions issues around technical training and the command of various forms of know-how, in contexts that sometimes place some rival systems in a competing situation.

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. This conference focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods.

Une histoire économique et sociale de la famille juive (XVe-XIXe siècle)
La storia ebraica costituisce un capitolo rilevante e particolarmente fecondo dell’attuale dibattito scientifico, sia sul versante storico-economico, che su quello antropologico, culturale e religioso. All’interno di un orizzonte di ricerca molto vasto, che identifica i Jewish studies come vero e proprio campo disciplinare, il convegno si propone di indagare, attraverso un’ottica comparativa, uno specifico argomento: le forme e le funzioni di utilizzo delle doti. L’istituzione dotale si configurava come uno degli elementi strategici nelle forme di organizzazione delle società ebraiche in Antico regime. Il suo studio ravvicinato e comparato consente, pertanto, di gettare una luce su molteplici aspetti.

The right to a tomb - recruitment and funerals under Antiquity
Le recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques
Grâce aux efforts conjoints d’archéologues, d’anthropologues, d’historiens et d’épigraphistes, les avancées récentes de la recherche en archéologie funéraire permettent aujourd’hui une bien meilleure connaissance du recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques, c’est-à-dire de leur composition en termes de sexe et d’âge, mais aussi de statut social et juridique des individus.A partir de différentes études de cas, l’objectif de cette journée d’étude est de proposer quelques pistes de réflexion sur les critères et les motivations de la sélection des individus dans les ensembles funéraires de la Méditerranée antique, à la fois d’un point de vueméthodologique et interprétatif.
