The IberLAND project is pleased to announce the upcoming conference, “Rethinking Property: Decentralized Histories of Land Tenure (16th – 19th centuries),” taking place from October 3rd to 4th, 2024, at the Faculty of Law, University of Messina (Italy), co-organized with its Law Department. This event aims to explore the complex evolution of land tenure and property concepts during the period of Iberian imperial expansion and beyond.

The Iberian imperial expansion significantly influenced land ownership regimes and agrarian practices worldwide. By the late 19th century, private property had evolved into a prominent concept. However, this evolution was complex and intertwined with local traditions and practices. The conference will examine these developments through a decentralized narrative, focusing on how social, natural, and legal relationships shaped land tenure across different regions.

Scientific Committee: Giacomo Pace Gravina, Sarah Limão Papa, Manuel Bastias Saavedra
