  Four Post-doctoral positions on "Luxury, Fashion and Social statuS in Early Modern South-Eastern Europe"

  New Europe College - Institute for Advanced Study

  Following the European Research Council competition for Consolidator Grants (2014), New Europe College became the Host Institution of such a grant. The project title is Luxury, Fashion and Social statuS in Early Modern South-Eastern Europe and its Principal Investigator is Constanţa Vintilă-Ghiţulescu, researcher at New Europe College and at the “Nicolae Iorga” Institute of History in Bucharest. The project aims to trace the role luxury played in the modernisation process in South-Eastern Europe, taking into account the specific features of the region and how South-Eastern European peoples, and their Byzantine and Ottoman heritage are viewed through the stereotype of “Balkanism”. The project’s findings will help towards a better knowledge of changes in European society in its transition to modernity, and of similarities and differences between the various regions of Europe.

  Political Border and Identifications: Populations between Habsburg Monarchy and Ottoman Empire

  L’objectif de cette conférence est de réunir des chercheurs venus de différents pays – France, Serbie et Croatie – afin d’échanger sur la question des identifications aux frontières austro-ottomanes au XVIIIe siècle. Ce type de problématique a déjà été largement traité pour l’espace hexagonal et méditerranéen en France. Mais la situation de cette frontière terrestre qui passait, à l’époque, pour la limite orientale de l’Europe chrétienne puis de l’Europe policée ou éclairée, est beaucoup moins connue. Pourtant, l’histoire de la frontière en Europe centrale et balkanique s’appuie sur une tradition historiographique déjà longue et continue à faire l’objet de nombreux travaux portant sur des sources encore peu étudiées. Cette table ronde, qui se tiendra en anglais et en français, sera donc l’occasion de découvrir et de discuter ces perspectives de recherche.
