Friday Seminar with Özden Mercan

This week, Özden Mercan is looking forward to a lively discussion of and feedback on her project on premodern Mediterranean forms of unfree labor and its spatial dimensions through the case study of Tuscan free port Livorno. Housing a significant number of slaves, mainly of Turkish and Moorish origin, Livorno’s bagno was the first such construction in Europe, enabling slaves to perform various sorts of labors within its walls as well as outside it. Özden will focus on these slaves as laborers and trace their role in transferring certain skills and practices by focusing on the spaces that generated a dense network of knowledge transfer and circulation of information in which slaves also took active part.

To register, please drop an email entitled "Friday Fellows Seminar" with your name and the date of the seminar to Laura Hartmann.
