Friday Seminar with Cristina Mocanu

This week, Cristina Mocanu will present her project “Productive and Reproductive Labor of Roma Slaves in Moldavia (before 1830s)”. She will explain how these types of labor influenced the slave condition and the owner-slave relationship, as well as how all this differed according to the categories into which the Roma slaves were divided: slaves of the crown, monasteries, and nobles. Using documents from the 18th and early 19th centuries, in which words were different or had a different meaning, Cristina raises the question of how current scholars should relate to the language of the era.
