11th INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS OF THE MIDDLE AGES IN NÁJERA

DIPLOMACY, TRADE AND NAVIGATION BETWEEN MEDIEVAL CITIES OF ATLANTIC EUROPE

 

Nájera (Spain), 28-29 jULY, 2014

 

This Academic Meetings seek to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of medieval studies. Each conference has one particular special thematic strand on an area of interdisciplinary study in a wider context.

 

Next July the town council of Nájera will once again host the International Meetings of the Middle Ages, organised by the University of Cantabria and supported by the Autonomous Government of La Rioja with co-organizers from Spain, Argentina, Germany, Portugal, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.

 

The topic of this year is about ‘Diplomacy, trade and navigation between medieval cities of Atlantic Europe’. We will analize:

 

- Diplomacy between cities


- Cities and commercial Exchange
 

- Commercial networks and organisation
 

- Navigation in later middle ages
 

- Connectivity across Atlantic Europe
 

- Cultural Exchange

 

This fascinating conference may be a good springboard to facilitate this goal.

 

Historians and Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts for research presentations on topics related to "Diplomacy, trade and navigation between medieval cities of Atlantic Europe”. Abstracts should be no more than 500 characters and should clearly state the purpose, thesis, methodology, and principal findings of the paper to be presented. Successful proposals will be published in 2015.


All abstracts and a short CV (in English or Spanish) should be submitted electronically (either as a MS Word document or as text in the body of an e-mail) to Dr. Jesús A. Solórzano Telechea at: solorzaja@unican.es
 

The deadline for submissions will be May 31th, 2014.
