Bando del II Seminario di Studi Dottorali in "Storia ed economia nei paesi del Mediterraneo" LA SCHIAVITÙ NELL’EUROPA MEDITERRANEA: LAVORO, CIRCOLAZIONE E MERCATI (SECC. XIV-XIX) (original) (raw)
ISSM- CNR announces a competition for 12 scholarships for young researchers (graduate, PhD and postdoctoral research students) in order to attend the second seminar of doctoral studies on the topic of slavery in Mediterranean Europe. Slavery was a very important migration and socioeconomic phenomenon in the structuring of southern European societies of the Old Regime. From an economic perspective, slavery must be understood as a response to a demand for workers, in connection with the balance between work, costs, wages and economic growth in a specific area or region. The objective of this second seminar of doctoral studies is to closely analyze the transformation of the models of slavery that occurred in Mediterranean Europe between the 14th and 19th centuries not only from an economic perspective, trying to answer a series of questions in order to understand the economics of slavery in the Euro-Mediterranean space (areas of acquisition of labour, organization of transport networks and of the slave trade in the Mediterranean, etc.). The school has a residential character and will last one week. Classes will be held in Italian, French, English and Spanish to facilitate communication among the participants, and Power Point presentations will be in a language other than the one spoken by the participant. The seminar consists of two sessions: 1. A morning session dedicated to lectures and to visits to some of the city archives in which the historical documents on the topic of the seminar are preserved. 2. An afternoon session for presentations of the work of young scholars (30 minutes), followed by discussions.

HST 215: Connecting the Mediterranean and the World syllabus
ext. 3171) Office hours: Wyatt 140 / Tues. [11][12] Introduction: This course explores the connections between material goods, waterways, and cross-cultural interaction in early modern world history. It focuses on encounters between the peoples of the Mediterranean and the wider world from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. This encompasses the division of the Mediterranean between Spanish Catholic and Islamic Ottoman spheres to the end of the Spanish Hapsburg's global dynasty. In the first part of the course, we will explore cases of tolerance and intolerance among the peoples of the Mediterranean Sea from Antiquity to the Renaissance by using interdisciplinary perspectives to understand relations between the region's Christian, Muslim, and Jewish inhabitants. Over the rest of the semester, we will consider how this history shaped subsequent European attitudes toward other peoples of the world in Africa, the Americas, and South and East Asia by examining evidence from material culture, literature, and the arts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Principal Themes: Politics and Violence: Empire, expansion, exploration, and war Material Culture: Gifts, commerce, commodities, consumption, and the uses of resources Literature and the arts: Authors, artists, and their depictions of other cultures Social relations: Networks and diaspora, captivity and servitude, collective identity, norms of gender and civility
A holding for university’s students in Venice
2011
Following Winnicott’s concept of holding environment on one side and considering the young not only as an age of transition to adulthood, but rather as an age with its specific needs and desires on the other side, the Regional Body supporting the Right to Higher Education in Venice offers a wide range of services between educational training, career counselling and leisure, thus covering the three basic elements of the life condition of students, with particular attention to the training for the transition to work.
