Historiography has privileged the analysis of conjunctures and structures in which these permanent relationships have ensued. However, scholarship is still shy of viewing, analysing and questioning the human experience of mobilities and immobilities in the Mediterranean from the perspective of those who actually moved. Movement and displacement burden individuals, their families and communities in different ways as their reach informs diverse scopes of identity formation. Experiences of exile, expulsion, solidarity and creation of “otherness” develop from the individual to the group as much as from host societies to “new comers”. Displacement, one of the many consequences of movement, marks, differentiates and defines social identifications in the Mediterranean and, in doing so, ultimately carries the seed of in- and exclusion over time and across different spaces.

Data for the Middle Ages reveal greater mobility of Muslims between the two shores of the Mediterranean, whereas Jewish mobility seems to have been more prevalent within the Iberian kingdoms. This difference persisted in the Early Modern Age: many Muslims were captives, but as men and women alike were taken prisoner, they were able to constitute a community. In the case of Jews, however, most of whom were men going to Portugal voluntarily and who left families behind in North Africa, this gender difference and the social ostracisation that they, too, faced prevented a community from becoming established.

It focuses on the various perspectives from which the history of lazarets and, more broadly, the history of circulations in an integrated Euro-Mediterranean area can be approached, and shows how the lazarets slowed down circulations, while also ensuring and encouraging them in a context of pandemic risks. In this way, it examines how eighteenth-century Habsburg history contributes to the history of the Mediterranean and inter-cultural exchanges from the perspective of German and Italian sources. In particular it highlights the value of the Litorale collections of the Hofkammer, which are held in the National Archives of Austria in Vienna, and the complementary nature of the Trieste and Vienna deposits.

At Goa, the Portuguese conquered a Muslim-ruled city of mainly Hindu inhabitants and rebuilt it, creating an imperial European Christian capital for their Asian colonies. There, Roman Catholic missionary orders established churches and shrines on sites previously occupied by Muslim mosques and Hindu temples (which had themselves often been constructed over pre-existing sacred spaces). Portuguese authorities in Goa, after a period of tolerance while the colonizers consolidated their gains, attempted to eliminate all non-Christian religious sites within the colonized territory. In India the Portuguese employed specific methods to establish cultural dominance. This article interprets these methods within a comparative cross-cultural model.","PeriodicalId":38201,"journal":{"name":"Ler Historia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48829164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
