Colonial geopolitics and local cultures in the Hellenistic and Roman East (IIIrd Century B.C. – IIIrd Century A.D.)

Géopolitique coloniale et cultures locales dans l'Orient hellénistique et romain (IIIe siècle av. J.-C. – IIIe siècle ap. J.-C.)

It seems clear that, in the Greek-speaking regions of the Roman Empire, Hellenistic models (civic, military or institutional) exercised considerable influence over “Italic” colonial projects. Within this field, relations between military colonists and indigenous peoples demand special attention, considering the degree of social, cultural, economic, political and geopolitical transformation brought about by the installation of certain groups upon those lands as a result of the will of the great power(s) that ruled over them. As for the Roman colonization, modern scholars have often described Roman colonies as vectors of Romanization inserted in alien lands, writing that these communities must have functioned as images of a “small Rome.” While the existence of Latin-speaking colonists ruled by a favorable juridical system such as the Ius Italicum cannot be denied, such a reductionist model can no longer be accepted without qualification, especially in the context of the Greek-speaking provinces of the Roman East. The regions of the Eastern Mediterranean world saw the coming of a number of groups of Roman colonists and thus their cultural climate, their agrarian structures and their geopolitical environment changed. The aim of this panel is to explore new research paths based on broader studies in time and space.

Research into the Laurentian seigneurial regime, from the past to the future

Louise Dechêne écrivait à propos de la seigneurie, que cette institution avait : « précédé tout le reste » dans l’histoire du Canada. En effet, dès les débuts de la Nouvelle-France, le régime seigneurial marque le développement du territoire et de la société et, depuis, son influence n’a cessé de continuer à se faire sentir dans l’histoire du Québec : que l’on pense, entre autres, à la structure sociale, à la colonisation du territoire, ou plus simplement, à la toponymie. Nous convions étudiants, chercheurs et professeurs à une journée d’étude consacré à cette institution. La journée s’inscrira à l’intérieur des activités des travaux menés au département d’histoire de l’université de Sherbrooke par le professeur Benoît Grenier et son équipe sur les persistances seigneuriales postérieures à 1854.
