Накратко на български

Миграцията във Венеция между 1450 и 1650 г. се анализира чрез ролята на местните ханове и къщи за настаняване. Това помага да се разбере как градовете са се справяли с пристигането на нови хора и как е променял градската среда.

Renaissance Migropolis: Mobility, Migration and the Politics of Reception in Venice (ca. 1450-1650)

The Marie Skłowdowska-Curie project MIGROPOLIS aimed to shed new light on the historical impact of migration and mobility on European cities and their inhabitants as well as providing fresh insights into the experiences of migrants themselves. It did this by focusing on the case study of Renaissance Venice, one of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities in European history, and one whose long experience of grappling with the challenges and benefits of migration gives it unique heuristic value. The project’s principal research objectives were achieved with only minor deviations, and communicated in various tangible ways both to specialist and wider audiences. A primary objective was to trace the development of the Venetian government’s nascent migration “policy” between 1450-1650; a crucial period when the city’s population, as well as its economic, political and cultural power reached their zenith, but also a time when war, food shortages, epidemic disease and religious schism made the movement of people an acutely controversial issue. Beyond this, the project sought to assess the impact of mobility at street level, on the evolution of the urban fabric, the lives of settled residents and of new arrivals. In particular, the researcher investigated the “infrastructure of hospitality” that crystallized in this period to host migrants and visitors who disembarked in the city. She showed how inns and lodging houses especially functioned as crucial points of orientation into urban life and important places of encounter between newcomers, local inhabitants and authorities. The project also entailed various training objectives designed to establish the researcher as a leading scholar in the history of mobility in Europe, which were successfully completed. In particular, the researcher enhanced her capacity to communicate her research to a broad audience and inform contemporary debates about migration with a valuable historical perspective, which she achieved also thanks to the accomplishment of several planned Public Engagement Activities.

Цел на проекта

This project aims to provide an invaluable new perspective on the motives, practices and consequences of migration in European history, by examining one of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan of past urban societies: Renaissance Venice (ca. 1450-1650). It will do this by investigating quotidian practices of mobility and in particular the early, liminal phases of migrant journeys through the city, producing a closely-focused study of spaces of first arrival for mobile people in Venice, such as inns, lodging houses, ferry stations and quays. Employing an innovative, interdisciplinary methodology, the project will map these key entry-points where new arrivals first sought shelter, food, work, information and human connection, revealing them as crucial sites of interaction and negotiation between newcomers and the local community and as hubs of the authorities’ developing systems of migrant surveillance and identification. Dissemination of the research via a monograph, journal articles and conference papers, as well as planned Public Engagement activities including a digital map of sites of arrival, a radio documentary pitch and an interdisciplinary workshop, will provide a vital historical perspective to contemporary debates on European migration. More broadly, the research will foster knowledge and expertise on vital themes of European history such as the development of policies of reception and hospitality, integration and assimilation, border control and identification, and their impact on states and urban centres as well as on local communities and migrants themselves. The Fellowship will also offer the candidate exceptional knowledge transfer, training and career development opportunities; in particular, her research will be enriched by participation, at the host institution, in an unrivaled concentration of expertise on comparative, transnational and interdisciplinary dimensions of European migration.
