Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)
The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

Merchants, jurists and other "intermediate groups" in Early Modern Southern Europe
Merchants, farmers, jurists, clerks in large institutions, secretaries, independent landowners, local elites and highly sought master craftsmen, among many others, are individuals with an ambiguous social status. Looking at who was not born exactly noble, nor exactly commoner, but stood on the border between one world and the other, is one of the goals of this initiative. As part of a project developed in Portugal focusing on the Holy Office’s familiaturas, it will be held on September 16 and 17, 2015, a workshop at Escuela Española de Historia and Archaeological in Rome. Our aim is to select a total of 8 applicants, that will be joined by 4 guest speakers, for a joint reflection on the dynamics and profiles of ‘intermediate groups’, as well as on the methodologies for their study in Early Modern Times.

Industry in the Alps, between memory and the phenomena of heritagisation - 19th-20th centuries
The memory of work: Gazing from the inside
Au cœur de la journée d’étude se trouvent les processus de transmission de la mémoire de l’histoire du travail industriel élaborés « à l’intérieur », à savoir les acteurs directement impliqués dans le travail industriel. Plus particulièrement, cette rencontre souhaite vérifier et discuter de quelle manière et dans quelle mesure les changements économiques, technologiques et sociaux qui se sont succédés au cours du XXe siècle ont affecté ces dynamiques. Un regard particulier sera dédié aux processus de déindustrialisation dans ses diverses formes (restructuration des filières productives, déstructuration du tissu socio-économique local, tertiarisation de l’économie, phénomènes de délocalisation…) et à leur impact sur la mémoire industrielle. Elles offrent l’occasion d’analyser diverses questions, notamment : que reste-t-il du passé industriel dans les souvenirs des travailleurs et de la population qui en a vécu la quotidienneté ? Quels sont les éléments qu’un contexte industriel valorise dans une perspective identitaire ? Quels sont lesconnexions entre la mémoire et le territoire (lieux de la mémoire) ?
