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.

Scholarship, prize and job offer - Prehistory and Antiquity
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.

Credit. Trust, solidarity, citizenship (14th-19th century)
IV seminar of doctoral studies history and economy in the Mediterranean countries
The objective of the seminar will be to understand the importance of intense credit activities at all levels of society, both in urban and rural areas over the long term, from consumer microcredit to the specific problem of the foundation of the Monti di Pietà in the various regional typologies, and to the forms of solidarity credit that, over the centuries, gave rise to more modern forms of banks.

Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia
Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives
This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.

Maritime voyages in the Mediterranean - from the Middle Ages to early Modernity
Ce colloque souhaite aborder le thème de l'itinérance en l’appliquant de manière privilégiée à l’espace maritime de la Méditerranée dans toute son étendue et toutes ses cultures. L’objet du colloque sera de rendre compte des modalités et des enjeux des circulations et des déplacements de personnes (départs, traversées, escales) autour des ports du bassin méditerranéen, dans leur dimension historique comme imaginaire. Les communications pourront s’appuyer sur un corpus varié de textes (récits de voyage, témoignages, documents d’archive, traités…) et de langues (latin, arabe, hébreu, français, italien, espagnol, anglais...).

Thinking the Mediterranean in the modern and contemporary period (16th-20th century)
Partant du constat que la Méditerranée est un objet historique et historiographique attractif mais souvent défini par défaut, et constatant le très petit nombre de lieux d’échange continu entre modernistes et contemporanéistes en histoire méditerranéenne, les organisateurs de ce séminaire proposent une approche des transformations de l’espace méditerranéen sur le long terme (du XVIe au XXe siècle).

The archaeology of Greece - from digging to writing history
Comment l'archéologie permet-elle d'écrire l'histoire ? En quoi les fouilles et l'étude des artefacts continuent-ils à renouveler la connaissance des historiens ? Après un cycle consacré à l'Égypte, la Bibliothèque nationale de France met à l'honneur la Grèce ancienne, à travers des présentations de recherches et de fouilles françaises en cours.

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.

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.

Contrairement aux périodes préhistoriques pour lesquelles la question des débuts de la consommation des produits laitiers animaux est fondamentale et suscite de nombreuses recherches, rares sont celles consacrées à la production et à la consommation de ces produits aux périodes médiévales et modernes. Pourtant, les produits laitiers, et particulièrement les fromages, sont des composants clefs de l’alimentation méditerranéenne. Produits issus des terroirs dont les spécificités en font le goût, ils sont commercialisés tant à l’échelle locale et régionale qu’internationale.

Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption
Contrasting with the Prehistory for which the question of the beginning of the consumption of dairy products is of critical importance, few studies are devoted to the production and consumption of these products during medieval and post-medieval periods. However, dairy products, especially cheese, are key components of the Mediterranean diet. Sometimes disregarded, sometimes recommended by dieticians, the latter are traded both at local and international scale. Therefore it seems necessary to organize a workshop on "Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption".

Rethinking the Mediterranean History and Historiography issues in the Eastern Mediterranean
History - Histories of the Mediterranean / Story - Stories in the Mediterranean
The Doctoral Workshop History - Histories of the Mediterranean / Story - Stories in the Mediterranean offers an international framework for exchange and discussion of analytical and methodological issues on the Mediterranean. The aim is to question how researchers engage in a multifaceted approach of the Mediterranean, as a historical and geographical entity, as an object of historiography, and/or as an analytical category. From Braudel’s Mediterranean to the Mediterranean of P. Horden and N. Purcell, discussion has always focused on the long or short

The Maghreb in International Relations
Diplomacy and crises
L’intention de ce colloque est d’inaugurer une réflexion appelée à se prolonger par une recherche collective sur le Maghreb dans l’histoire des relations internationales. Elle s’inscrit également dans un contexte bien particulier, celui d’une volonté d’accès simplifié aux archives tunisiennes contemporaines et d’une démarche de la part des Marocains depuis 2012 de récolter et de trier leurs archives nationales.
