Abstract

Les vingt-huit études rassemblées ici s’intéressent aux multiples rôles joués par les consuls et l’institution consulaire auprès des marchands actifs dans l’espace méditerranéen du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Ce livre offre tout d’abord une présentation et une analyse des fonds et des sources disponibles pour mener à bien cette enquête historique, depuis les abondantes correspondances jusqu’aux manuels consulaires. Il met également à l’épreuve des pratiques et des usages les prérogatives juridictionnelles des consuls concernant le règlement des contentieux marchands et la certification des transactions et des contrats dans l’Empire ottoman comme en Europe occidentale. L’ouvrage propose ensuite d’observer la variété des contextes d’exercice des consuls et les stratégies commerciales différenciées de leurs autorités de tutelle, de la République de Gênes à la Suède, en passant par le Royaume-Uni, les États-Unis d’Amérique, la République des Sept-Îles ou le Royaume de France. Plusieurs études soulignent enfin les marges de manœuvre politiques, diplomatiques et économiques de consuls qui évoluent dans des relations de pouvoir et des réseaux d’affaires aux contours mouvants. En posant de la sorte la question de l'utilité commerciale des consuls, ces différents chapitres invitent à jeter un regard nouveau sur l’histoire de la fonction consulaire et sur les mécanismes de régulation politiques et institutionnels du commerce international aux époques moderne et contemporaine. Cet ouvrage a été publié avec le concours du GIS Histoire et Science de la Mer.

Abstract

The following study analyses the factors behind the spread of sugar cane from the East to the West, the geography of its establishment in the Mediterranean era and reconstitutes the processes of sugar production and the organisation of work in the plantations and medieval sugar factories. It questions the quality of sugar produced and the evolution of prices of this commodity. It establishes the conditions of its transport and trade. Finally, it studies the different uses of sugar, including in medicins and diets. Sugar was triumphant as a food stuff and became an indispensable ingredient in the confectionery and pastry, which decorated the tables of the royal courts. It remained a luxury product reserved for the high society.

Abstract

Against the backdrop of England's emergence as a major economic power, the development of early modern capitalism in general and the transformation of the Mediterranean, Maria Fusaro presents a new perspective on the onset of Venetian decline. Examining the significant commercial relationship between these two European empires during the period 1450-1700, Fusaro demonstrates how Venice's social, political and economic circumstances shaped the English mercantile community in unique ways. By focusing on the commercial interaction between Venice and England, she also re-establishes the analysis of the maritime political economy as an essential constituent of the Venetian state political economy. This challenging interpretation of some classic issues of early modern history will be of profound interest to economic, social and legal historians and provides a stimulating addition to current debates in imperial history, especially on the economic relationship between different empires and the socio-economic interaction between 'rulers and ruled'.

Abstract

The Mediterranean basin was a multicultural region with a great diversity of linguistic, religious, social and ethnic groups. This dynamic social and cultural landscape encouraged extensive contact and exchange among different communities. This book seeks to explain what happened when different ethnic, social, linguistic and religious groups, among others, came into contact with each other, especially in multiethnic commercial settlements located throughout the region. What means did they employ to mediate their interactions? How did each group construct distinct identities while interacting with others? What new identities came into existence because of these contacts? Professor Demetriou brings together several strands of scholarship that have emerged recently, especially ethnic, religious and Mediterranean studies. She reveals new aspects of identity construction in the region, examining the Mediterranean as a whole, and focuses not only on ethnic identity but also on other types of collective identities, such as civic, linguistic, religious and social.

Abstract

This book addresses a question that has been somewhat neglected in the many studies of the mercantile operations of the ‘merchant of Prato’, Francesco di Marco Datini, in the years around 1400: the operations of his firm in the Maghrib, a region in which he and his colleagues had to operate through agents, rather than by means of branches or sister companies based in the region. Thanks to the voluminous material of the Datini archive in Prato, it offers a reconstruction of commercial strategies through the study of networks, of economic actors, their identity and their practices, and of the link between trade and the State, especially the Florentine one.
