In this groundbreaking book, Monica Chojnacka argues that the women of early modern Venice occupied a more socially powerful space than traditionally believed. Rather than focusing exclusively on the women of noble or wealthy merchant families, Chojnacka explores the lives of women—unmarried, married, or widowed—who worked for a living and helped keep the city running through their labor, services, and products. Among Chojnacka's surprising findings is the degree to which these working women exercised control over their own lives. Many headed households and even owned their own homes; when necessary, they also took in and supported other women of their families. Some were self-employed, while others had jobs outside the home. They often moved freely about the city to conduct business, and they took legal action in the courts on their own behalf. On a daily basis, Venetian women worked, traveled, and contested obstacles in ways that made the city their own.
Migrations, émigration, immigration : ces mots interpellent, quotidiennement. L’Institut de recherches sur les civilisations de l'Occident moderne, lors de son Colloque de 1991, s’est penché sur le problème des mouvements migratoires, mais dans une perspective historique longue qui, seule, permet de dissiper les mythes et de les comprendre. Rapports et discussions partent donc de l’Europe médiévale, puis traitent de la période moderne ; l’Atlantique est ensuite franchi, pour discuter du melting pot américain, dont la réalité est aujourd’hui remise en question. L’immigration contemporaine - dans les pays d’Europe occidentale - est finalement étudiée par une spécialiste incontestée de ces problèmes. Ce Colloque pluridisciplinaire fait ressortir que la France, comme les États-Unis, le Brésil et bien d’autres, a été - depuis longtemps - terre d’immigration.
