CfP: The Environmental History of the Pacific World (Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China, 24-26 May 2018)

An international workshop to be held at the Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China, 24-26 May 2018
 
Sponsors:
The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich
Department of History and The Center for Oceania Studies, Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou
The Center for Ecological History, Renmin University of China, Beijing
 
The Pacific Ocean is the ancient outcome of plate tectonic movement, creating one of the largest eco-regions on earth.  Although navigators explored those waters early on, and peoples spread to all the ocean’s shores and penetrated as far into the center as the Hawaiian archipelago, it was not until the 16th century that the great body of water was discovered as a whole and mapped at a global scale.  Since then, the Pacific has become a place of increasing human-nature interaction—through international trade, warfare, cultural interchange, and extraction of resources.  Our conference aims to bring this ocean more fully into the discourse of environmental historians.
 
We invite anyone interested to submit a proposal for a paper relevant to this theme (no panels please).  Topics may include the changing effects of the ocean and its currents on weather and climate patterns, the rising ecological impact by human activity on the ocean’s ecosystems, the role of its marine and island resources on international development, the competition among cultures and nations for “ownership” of the sea, and the networks of trade and knowledge exchange, including mapping and scientific exploration. We are also interested in papers that deal with Pacific Rim countries and the connection of their agriculture and industry to the Pacific

XVI CONGRESO DE HISTORIA AGRARIA-SEHA # VII ENCONTRO RURALREPORT – SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, 20-23 JUNIO 2018
 
A História Rural tem vindo a ultrapassar quer o seu foco analítico predominantemente nacional e local, quer uma perspectiva interpretativa demasiado centrada na Europa e no Ocidente. Procurando responder aos desafios globais da investigação em História Rural, e na sequência de um primeiro congresso (Lisboa, 2016), a SEHA e a Rural RePort decidem organizar conjuntamente um novo congresso internacional, que terá lugar em Santiago de Compostela (Galiza), de 20 a 23 de junho de 2018.

37.º Encontro da Associação Portuguesa de História Económica e Social

37.º Encontro da Associação Portuguesa de História Económica e Social
 
O Atlântico na história económica e social
 
Universidade da Madeira, Colégio dos Jesuítas
17 e 18 de Novembro de 2017
 
A história do Atlântico rompeu com as fronteiras da historiografia do estado-nação, propiciando a comparabilidade de processos na longa duração. A adopção de novos temas e a abordagem policêntrica dinamizou estes estudos. Os processos originados no Atlântico tenderam a ser analisados como interacções entre pessoas, sociedades, instituições e economias num mundo interconectado. A par da dimensão da circulação, merecem destaque a da produção, transformação e consumo de bens. Esse o motivo pelo qual, a história do Atlântico continua a mostrar-se útil para a análise das transformações regionais e globais.
