Économie politique et fiscalité dans l’Orient hellénistique et romain
Le projet de cette journée serait de faire dialoguer des historiens, philologues, papyrologues, épigraphistes et archéologues spécialistes d’économie et de fiscalité antiques afin de découvrir comment ces deux disciplines pourraient plus étroitement travailler ensemble et mettre en commun leurs savoir-faire techniques et théoriques.

Conference, symposium - Africa
11th-17th centuries
This symposium will take stock of the theoretical ambition of this programme, relative to the disciplinary tools available to us today, to disclose, to distinguish and above all to ponder the historical connections established. If the plants, epidemics, commercial goods or written materials are proof of often-forgotten connections, they inform us only indirectly on the intensity and consequences of these economic, political and cultural connections for the societies of Southern, Eastern or Western Africa. Starting from this observation, the historians, archaeologists, linguists, and philologists involved in this release will reflect on multidisciplinary models that go beyond the observation of a connection and switch towards a more integrative concept of “route,” understood, in the broader sense, as a connection in progress. I this respect, the third and final objective of this symposium will stimulate further reflection on the routes that crisscrossed medieval Africa, and the practices, mobilities, and representations that they created.

Maritime Knowledge for Asian Seas
An interdisciplinary dialogue between maritime historians and archaeologists
This conference will close a four-years French-Taiwanese research project (ANR/MOST) on Maritime Knowledge for Asian seas (seaFaring), which propose to reconsider, and possibly to review, our knowledge on China’s seafaring tradition through a new approach focusing on the practical know-how available to the craftsmen, seamen and merchants during the 16th-18th centuries, with special emphasis on sailing and trading knowledge and practices.

The economy of stone in the Meuse valley and surrounding regions (1st century BC - 18th century)
The first edition of conferences dedicated to stone economics during the historical periods, which was held in Nancy in 2015, underlined the vitality of the research carried out about this subject, as illustrated by the recent works led in Lorraine. The Stone by Stone series of meetings aim to promote the relevance of stone economics research and to facilitate discussions about the topic, through a cycle of international conferences held every three years. The upcoming Stone by Stone II Symposium will be held in Namur and Dinant in December 2018. It will be co-organized by the University of Namur (AcanthuM – ILEE), by the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL), by the University of Brussels (ULB/VUB), by the University of Lorraine, by the INRAP and by the Maison du Patrimoine medieval mosan, and by the AWAP (Agence wallonne du Patrimoine).

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.

Digital humanities and Jewish geography in Europe
Perspectives for the revision of medieval Jewish history before 1300
L'université d'été du projet-pilote franco-allemand « Nouvelle Gallia-Germania Judaica » est destinée aux jeunes chercheurs autour. Elle ambitionne de relever le défi thématique et technique de l'écriture d'une nouvelle histoire des lieux juifs avant 1300 au long du Rhin. À partir de sept lieux représentatifs du Moyen-Âge juif en France et en Allemagne, les interprétations traditionnelles de l'histoire juive de ces lieux sont examinés à la loupe et servent de « champ d’expérimentation » pour identifier ainsi que pour mettre en cause de manière critique différentes approches de recherche.

Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
In the television age, health and the body have been broadcasted in many ways: in short health education films, school television, professional training materials, TV ads, documentaries, reality TV shows and news, as well as stand-alone videos distributed to specific audiences. This three-day conference proposes an exploration of how television formats have influenced and staged bodies, health and healthy practices from local, regional, national and international perspectives, and how these TV programmes spread the conviction that viewers could and should invest in their health and shape their own body.

Building, feeding towns in the Middle Ages - products, actors and networks
37th study day of the Francophone Belgian Medieval Studies network (RMBLF)
Vivre en ville induit l’apport substantiel de denrées et de matériaux produits hors du contexte urbain. Nourrir une population abondante qui ne produit pas totalement sa propre alimentation, développer un habitat dense et des infrastructures, assurer la distinction de groupes et d’institutions élitaires par la consommation de produits de luxe ou la construction d’édifices remarquables constituent autant d’aspects inhérents à la ville médiévale qui impliquent de l’approvisionnement. Hier comme aujourd’hui, construire, aménager, approvisionner supposent une organisation et une pensée du vivre ensemble. Diverses infrastructures témoignent au Moyen Âge de cette volonté partagée par les habitants du bourg, les bourgeois, qui expriment en outre des prétentions identitaires.

Post-doctorate researcher in Coinage in Ancient Greece
Anchoring Work Package 4
The use of minted coins was one of the major innovations in the ancient world of the first millennium BCE. Invented in Lydia in the seventh century, coinage spread rapidly throughout the Greek world, first in the Greek cities in Asia Minor, next to Aegina and Athens and soon to the other cities across the Aegean and Mediterranean area. Before the introduction of minted coins, exchange was largely based on weights of precious metals, in smaller amounts weighed on scales, a practice to which striking fixed weights of metal seems just a small and logical step. Yet the swift success of coinage, evidenced by rapidly increasing number of Greek poleis adopting the new medium, shows that the potential of coins to surpass weighed bullion in practical use for all kinds of transactions was recognised early on.

History and textile heritage in eastern France, Antiquity to the present day
Objet utilitaire mais également d’apparat, le textile se caractérise par l’ancienneté de sa mise au point, la persistance de sa production, la place sans cesse renouvelée qu’il occupe dans nos sociétés successives. Cette activité économique a fortement et anciennement marqué certains territoires, particulièrement en France qui est, au début du XXe siècle, le 2e producteur mondial. La tradition textile est forte dans les trois territoires qui composent la nouvelle région Grand Est comme le rappellent lieux de médiations d’une part et entreprises industrielles d’autre part. En 2017, le colloque annuel du Comité d’histoire régionale, service de la Région Grand Est, réunira donc des spécialistes de différentes disciplines (histoire, archéologie, histoire de l’art, géographie, droit, sociologie, économie, histoire des techniques, etc.) et d’acteurs actuels du monde du textile pour traiter de ce thème.

Birth of a discipline - insurance law, between teaching, practice and expertise
1884 - 1970s
Cette journée d’études traite de l’histoire de la discipline « droit des assurances » et a pour ambition de faire la lumière sur la naissance de cette discipline et d’examiner son impact sur l’évolution et la pratique du droit des assurances dans une étroite interaction entre acteurs et institutions. Cette approche entend aussi situer l’essor du droit des assurances dans le contexte, non seulement du développement des chaires d’assurances (notamment au CNAM, au Collège de France notamment), mais également dans l’essor de l’enseignement académique des statistiques et de l’actuariat.

Work in progress on North Africa - from Antiquity to the present day
Ces dernières années, les recherches sur l’Afrique du Nord ont fait l’objet d’un dynamisme certain, toutes périodes historiques confondues. Le nombre d’études en cours, la variété des sujets et la diversité des approches sont importants et porteurs de renouvellements historiographiques. Malgré ce mouvement général, force est de constater une tendance au maintien des découpages chronologiques classiques des grandes périodes historiques dans les cadres d’analyse et dans les évènements scientifiques eux-mêmes. Partant de ce constat, l’université de Rouen et le Groupe de recherche d'histoire (GRhis) organisent une journée d’étude dont la finalité est la rencontre entre chercheurs de toutes périodes dont les travaux en cours portent sur l’Afrique du Nord.

Precious metals in the medieval Mediterranean
Mining, processing and circulations
Silver on one side, gold on the other? The medieval Mediterranean was an area in which precious metals were produced and circulated, intertwining three worlds, both friends and foes: Roman Christianity to the West, byzantine Christianity to the East, and Islam to the South. Precious metals (gold, silver, copper and lead), at the origin of numerous objects of the material culture and currencies used by the economies, filled the societies. They were mined, processed, commercialised, controlled and hoarded by a wide variety of stakeholders and institutions, from simple peasants to emperors.

Practices, Politics, and Policy in Premodern Societies (6th-17th Centuries)
Money is at once elusive and concrete. As a mode of economic exchange it exists within a relatively fixed playing field, with clearly delineated boundaries of benefits and costs. However, poor handling, bad advice, or even a bad turn at a game of chance can swallow money up in one fell swoop. The workshop will investigate this wide array of pre-capitalist, western and non-western contexts from the English Isles, Flanders, France, Germany, Italy, and China between the Middle Ages and Early Modern times.

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean
Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.
