Corporate and mercantile bankruptcy, insolvency and debt: approaches from legal and economic history
Venice, 29-31 October 2024
Call for applications
In October 2024, the PHEDRA network will organize a workshop on the history of insolvency and bankruptcy (Middle Ages-19th century). This workshop has the aim to delve into these themes and to explore the combined legal and economic aspects of phenomena connected to insolvency and bankruptcy. From the vantage point of economic history, insolvency is linked to credit, private and public ordering. Legal historians have emphasized the cultural aspects of insolvency regulations and the transplanting of remedies and proceedings. The hybridity of the problem of insolvency, which touches upon both economic and legal questions, also in their combination, invites further reflection.
The workshop consists of a series of lectures by specialists on the topic and presentations by doctoral candidates on their research.
PhD students working on a topic that is connected to the theme of the workshop are invited to apply. Accommodation will be provided and costs of travel will be reimbursed.
The IRN PHEDRA project aims at developing a concerted approach to European research on the history of business law, from antiquity to the present day, apprehended in its « European ecosystem ». This theme remains little explored by historiography, which nevertheless underlines the extent to which commercial norms and practices constitute a fundamental element in the study of issues related to the historical transformation of our societies.
How to Apply
Applicants are requested to send a CV and an abstract of their PhD thesis (maximum 1 page) to the email address phedravenice@gmail.com before 20 August 2024.
If you have further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Prof. L. Brunori
Prof. D. De ruysscher
