Centre for Advanced Study, Sofia 
10-11 November 2018

The event intends to provide a forum for the discussion of completed or ongoing studies covering a wide range of topics related to the monastic economy.

A non-exhaustive list of eligible areas includes the following:

• Economic activities of the monasteries
• Monastic economy and market/capitalist rationality
• The state nexus
• Flow of Funds
• Assets management
• Governance

The time frame covers:

• Medieval, Pre-Modern and Modern history
• For South-Eastern Europe: Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern (comprising the communist) periods
• Glimpses on current trends in a longue durée historical view  

The geographical coverage includes:

• The Orthodox realm in South-Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Serbia, the institution of the Constantinople Patriarchate
• The Catholic/Protestant domain in Western Europe (with a particular focus on the Benedictine abbeys)  

The comparative outlook is embedded either in presentations dealing explicitly with both regions or in the discussion in comparative perspective of case studies and general trends related to South-Eastern or Western Europe.

Abstracts. Please, send to Mr. Dimiter Dimov (dimov@cas.bg) a short abstract of the proposed presentation (up to 250 words), a CV and a concise note (areas of interest, major publications – up to 200 words) by June, 30, 2018.

Selection. The number of foreign participants is limited to around 15 scholars. They will be selected by the organizers of the Workshop on the basis of the relevance of the proposal for the NETWORK’s agenda and of the research track-record of the applicant. The candidates will be notified by 15 July, 2018.       

Presentations. The participants will have 20 minutes to present their paper with a general discussion at the end of each session. A written text or a detailed handout for dissemination before/during the event is welcome. The conference hall is equipped for Power point presentations.

The proceedings will not be published. Please take into consideration, however, that by the end of the project’s three-year period (November 2019) the NETWORK will pack its research output as a scholarly journal’s guest edited issue or a volume with a collection of selected texts. The papers presented at the three workshops will be eligible for this publication.

Languages. The working languages of the workshop are English and French without translation from one into the other.

Travel and accommodation. The travel costs of the non-Bulgarian participants between their city of residence and Sofia, as well as their accommodation for two nights in Sofia (9 and 10 November 2018) will be covered by CAS.

The Center for Advanced Study Sofia (CAS) (www.cas.bg) and the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe (GCE) at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences in the University of St. Gallen (www.gce.unisg.ch) have established a NETWORK of scholars from Southeastern and Western Europe devoted to the history of monastic economy. The goal of the NETWORK is to nurture research in this field in a comparative perspective and in view of the longue durée relevance of the monastic tradition for economic culture. The NETWORK supports the creation of a scholarly community by fostering intellectual debates, facilitating contacts and mobility, and bringing together academics from different thematic and institutional backgrounds. Its first workshop was organized and hosted by CAS on November 10-12, 2017.

This Call is addressed to candidates willing to join the NETWORK. Part of its budget (2017-2019) is allocated to the granting on a competitive basis of RESEARCH ALLOWANCES.

Protectionism is back on the political agenda and with it the question, how trade and other forces of global markets affect our well-being. In this virtual issue we collected several papers that have been published in the European Review of Economic History over the last few years, all of which address the historical experience of the first globalization, its end and attempts to reintegrate markets after 1945.

In memoriam Skip Fischer
This symposium is to inaugurate the new Centre of Maritime History of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies and it is meant to bring together some of the members of the group of Maritime Historians that have marked the path of Maritime History in the last forty years.  Professor Lewis R. (Skip) Fischer (1946-2018) was one of the “patriarchs” of Maritime History and paved the way of its organization worldwide since the 1980s. He had looked very much forward to this meeting but unfortunately he passed away on 11 February 2018. We have thus decided to dedicate this First Symposium to him, hoping to continue his work from this part of the world.

Αναρτήθηκαν ορισμένες από τις εισηγήσεις της επιστημονικής ημερίδας με θέμα «Αρχεία και πηγές της οικονομικής και κοινωνικής ιστορίας του Πειραιά» που είχε διοργανώσει η ΕΕΟΙ, τον Μάρτιο 2015, στον Πειραιά. Η ημερίδα είχε τον διπλό στόχο, αφενός να αναδειχθεί ο πλούτος των νέων ερευνών που διεξάγονται για την οικονομική και κοινωνική ιστορία της πόλης, αφετέρου να χαρτογραφηθούν οι αρχειακές διαθεσιμότητες και να παρουσιαστούν τυχόν προβλήματα στη διάσωση-ταξινόμηση-πρόσβαση του αρχειακού υλικού από ποικίλους φορείς.
