Slavery was a very important migration and socio-economic 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.

Organisation : 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 A morning session dedicated to lectures and to visits to some of the city archives in which the historical documents on the topic of the seminar are preserved.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.
