  Contextualizing bankruptcy

  Publicity, space and time (Europe, 17th to 19th century)

  Although bankruptcy was a rather exceptional situation in the life of a merchant, it has explanatory power for routines of economic stakeholders, for their space of experience and their horizon of expectation. We can therefore use the irregularity of failure as an indicator of regularities. Considering the long, non-uniform and unsteady transition from merchant capitalism to industrial and financial capitalism, we suggest to start a dialogue between modernistes and contemporanéistes. The workshop focuses on the various forms of contextualizing business failure and puts forward three major research axes: Covering and Uncovering: Secrecy and Publicity; Economic Space and Area of Jurisdiction; Temporal Narratives of (In)Solvency.

  The Economy of Privileges in Western Europe, 16th to 19th centuries

  Ce colloque se situe à l’intersection de l’histoire économique et de l’histoire du droit ou des institutions, et est centré sur les pratiques et les attentes des acteurs de l’économie. En d’autres termes, il s’agit ici de partir des acteurs pour comprendre les raisons qui les motivent à demander l’octroi de privilèges, la manière dont celui-ci s’insère dans leurs pratiques. Il se tiendra à Francfort-sur-le-Main du 30 juin au 2 juillet 2010.
