The history
of migration and mobility stands at the crossroad of several fields and
disciplines: demography, cultural, religious, social and economic history. This
course will present a typology of early modern forms of mobility and migration,
taking place in, or originating from Europe, from the end of the fifteenth to
the eighteenth century. We will study forced migrations in their different
forms or context, whether related to the religious and political
transformations of Europe (expulsion of Jews, Moriscoes, coerced migration of
Puritans, Huguenots, Catholics), or linked to certain professional activities
or social groups (merchant and seasonal mobility, elite
mobility, mobility from poverty). The purpose of this course goes beyond push
and pull factors and effects of mobility and migration for host societies. We
will to take into consideration the experience of mobility from the point of view
of the migrants and study such material aspects as travel and settlement, and
how early modern communities and societies accommodated newcomers. In addition,
special attention will be paid to identity, gender, life-cycle and social
group. A good understanding of written and spoken English is required.
