  Visible and invisible borders between Christians and Muslims in the Early Modern World

  It has traditionally been argued that with the rise of the modern nation state, borders increasingly became lines demarcating the spatial limits of state power. Recent efforts have been made to re-examine this territorial argument and pay close attention to the social, cultural, political, economic, and religious networks that created, reinforced, and also traversed borderlands. Though war, conquest, and diplomacy repeatedly redrew the dividing lines between empires and kingdoms, extensive interactions and exchanges left the borderlands with deeply entangled roots and routes. These patterns, mechanisms, and forces had a deep impact on all aspects of life and are still felt today. Arguably, no single element has been more dominant in shaping this complex relationship than the regional historiographies and historical memories that tried to write the empires out of their pasts entirely.

  The Routes of Medieval 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.

  Storage: production, accumulation and the redistribution of cereals in the medieval and modern west

  Le 40^e Colloque de Flaran est l’occasion, pour les historiens et les archéologues, de tenter un premier panorama des problématiques relatives au stockage alimentaire, en particulier céréalier, dans l’Europe médiévale et moderne, en s’attachant aux dispositifs matériels des mises en réserve (des modestes greniers aux zones à silos, des granges villageoises aux entrepôts urbains), ainsi qu’aux techniques de conservation. Ils s’intéresseront en outre à l’emplacement et à l’environnement des structures de stockage. On explorera les formes de prélèvement, de dépôt et de répartition qui ont défini l’organisation des sociétés européennes avant le Marché, tout en alimentant parfois les marchés locaux.
