An der Universidade Federal Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro im Departamento de História – Companhia das Índias, findet vom 7. bis 9. August 2013 eine Internationale Tagung zur kolonialen Stadt in der Frühen Neuzeit statt, deren Call for Paper noch (Update:) bis zum 31. Januar 2013 läuft (Info weiter unten). Im englischsprachigen Ankündigungstext heißt es zum Fokus der Tagung:
The object of the Conference […] is to exploit the historical analysis of urban works in terms of conceptualisation, planning, implementation and employment, for studying the situation of the colonial population and its development as a fragmented community. With the term «construction works» we mainly mean the providing of water, treatment of sewage and rubbish, paving of streets, construction of bridges, and the building of public edifices and defence works. The geographic area to be treated is broad, and we hope to gather experts working on Portuguese and Spanish America as well as on colonial cities in other continents.
Konkret feststehende Beiträge der Tagung werden sein:
„CFP: “Em benefício do povo”. Obras, governo e sociedade na cidade colonial“ weiterlesen
