  Herbs and humanity. For a material and cultural history

  The expansion and culture of herbs around the world - text and image

  From the peaks of the Himalaya to the Mediterranean Sea, from the outset of the Silk Road to the far reaches of the Eurasian continent, the economy and culture of herbs has expanded over the course of time. Whether used as common products of consumption or considered as rare and valuable commodities, sold in their raw form or transformed, these medicinal or aromatic herbs have become precious cultural ambassadors in encounters with more and more faraway horizons. This book project centers on the idea of herbs as vectors of encounters and cultural exchanges. Indeed, the expansion and use of herbs around the world have led to the emergence of interacting and expanding cultural practices. The focus will be on defining the specific fields pertaining to the knowledge of herbs, with a particular interest in their cultivation, harvesting, commercialisation and circulation.

  Analysing the spaces of transition. Interdisciplinary dialogue around the Strait of Gibraltar

  L'objectif de ce séminaire, dans le cadre du programme de recherches « le détroit de Gibraltar aux époques antique et médiévale » financé par l'ANR, est de munir le programme d'un cadre conceptuel rigoureux, qui sera particulièrement utile dans la perspective de la rédaction d'un ouvrage de synthèse. L'implication du Centre Jacques Berque, en tant qu'institution partenaire du programme, est particulièrement judicieuse pour la réalisation de ce séminaire, puisqu'elle permettra aux spécialistes de diverses sciences humaines associés au CJB de proposer des approches et des concepts à portée générale à des historiens, que leur pointillisme écarte parfois de ces schémas opératoires ; à l'inverse, les difficultés heuristiques des historiens doivent les conduire à se réapproprier les systèmes explicatifs issus des sciences humaines voisines pour les transposer efficacement à l'analyse des sociétés du passé.
