  Images and Borderlands: Mediterranean basin between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern Age

  Following in the footsteps of Fernand Braudel, an increasing number of recent studies show that the Mediterranean basin might be considered as a “borderland”, “borderscape”  or “Frontier” suggesting that this area is not strictly a border between Christian and Muslim civilization, but a basin in which the two traditions and cultures meet and overlap, with an extraordinary variety of reactions to the hegemonic practices (acceptance, conflict, refusal, dissent). The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who will discuss, from different perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, the variety of themes (topics) which revolve around the common issue of reflecting the problem of borderlands as a consequence of the encounter between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early modern Mediterranean. The starting point of examination will be images, i.e. the usage of images (pictures, mental images, literary images and other visual representations …) as historical evidence.

  Study days - History

  Romani societies in modern and contemporary Europe

  Sources and historical methodologies

  Cette journée d'études souhaite questionner les sources mobilisées par l'historien et les méthodologies employées pour étudier l'histoire des sociétés romani dans l’Europe moderne et contemporaine. Afin d'échapper aux généralités et aux simplifications accumulées à propos des populations romani, dites  aussi tsiganes, il s'agira de poser les différents termes d'une analyse de la documentation historique, de confronter les expériences du chercheur face aux sources disponibles et de discuter la nature particulière de l’enquête archivistique dans le domaine des études tsiganes, ou Romani Studies.
