  The Vulnerability and Marginality of Youth in the Mediterranean Basin (19th-20th centuries)

  French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood

  The Revue d’histoire de l’enfance “irrégulière” (the French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood) will devote its next issue to the different perceptions and management policies focused on irregular or marginal youth in the countries of the Mediterranean basin (i.e. the northern coast of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Mashriq and the Maghreb) throughout the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Specifically, we expect that the study of the public policies adopted by the countries of the region to deal with their youth will put the hypothesis of the unity and singularity of the Mediterranean to the test: either it will allow some sort of shared approach to emerge or, on the contrary, it will expose the Mediterranean as a cultural and ideological construct.

  Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée

  La Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée lance un appel à propositions pour un numéro thématique consacré aux calendriers, aux mesures et rythmes du temps. Ce numéro voudrait être l’occasion de donner un premier inventaire des techniques de mesure du temps, et des rythmes qu’elles induisent, replacés dans leur contexte social et historique. La réflexion s'articule autour de trois axes principaux : La mesure du temps ; les circulations, emprunts et conflits ; les rythmes du quotidien.
