Накратко на български

Роднинските връзки и градското пространство в Генуя между XII и XV век се анализират чрез прехода към „алберги“ – затворени квартали, в които различни аристократични фамилии приемат общо име. Това помага да се разберат стратегиите за управление на имотите и социалните съюзи.

Kinship, Alliance and Urban Space: the Genoese 'alberghi' in the Late Middle Ages (c. 1150 - c. 1450)

GenALMA studies the developments in kinship and their relationship with, and impact on, urban space during the late Middle Ages (c. 1150-c. 1450) by rewriting the social history of Genoa. More specifically, the project traces the progress from a kinship system hinged on family alliances to the 'alberghi', i.e. confederacies gathering the members of several aristocratic families who decided to adopt a common surname and reside in closed districts. The first part of GenALMA focuses on the changes in kinship structures among the aristocracy by reconstructing the families involved in the phenomenon of the 'alberghi'. Through a genealogical reconstruction of these kin groups it is possible to identify family strategies and shifts in the configuration of alliances; while data collected in notarial documents provides invaluable information on the configuration of family estates, on how these were managed and transmitted from one generation to the next and on changing perceptions of kinship. In this sense, the development of female patrimonial rights, which can be charted from as early as the beginning of the twelfth century, are crucial in evaluating these developments. The second part of GeALMA aims at reconstructing the residential patterns of urban aristocratic families who gathered into an 'albergo'. Immovable property was of fundamental importance to these kin groups and this is reflected in these families’ tendency and efforts to control specific neighbourhoods. So how were immovables transmitted and managed? Did property and residential choices play a part in shaping these alliances (or vice versa) and socialising patterns and clienteles?

Цел на проекта

GenALMA aims to offer novel perspectives and invaluable new data on kinship and the development of urban space by examining late medieval Genoa, one of the most socially vibrant cities during the foundational phase of contemporary Europe. It will investigate: 1) why and how aristocratic families chose to unite in a peculiar form of association which had long-lasting repercussions across the city’s social spectrum, eventually involving families and individuals of lesser social standing; 2) the impact of the construction of such solidarities and alliances, and the patrimonial strategies these entailed, on the reconfiguration of the city’s residential and architectural landscape. By tackling these two main questions, GenALMA will address issues related to the development of kinship structures and gender roles, the evolution of patrimonial rights, the networks of socialisation, and the changes in the urban fabric. Employing an innovative interdisciplinary methodology, the project will involve the management (through multiple databases) of large data sets collected from still unexplored and exceptional historical sources (notarial records of Genoa) which will be used to reconstruct kinship ties and to map out residential patterns thanks to cutting edge technology available at the host institution. The digital maps will represent an unprecedented attempt at charting the evolution of the urban fabric over the span of three centuries. The project will be conducted at the CNRS – Centre Roland Mousnier where the candidate will benefit from high level interdisciplinary training offered by the host institution, which will improve her skills in analysing historical data, and from the presence of several specialists with whom to discuss methodological and historiographical approaches. So as to reach the widest audience possible, the results of the project will be disseminated via conferences and workshops, a monograph, publications in high level scholarly journals, and a blog.
