Sur les galères et dans les bagnes. Survivre: Un combat quotidien
Les drogues et les addictions sont l’objet de représentations sociales stigmatisantes et sont le plus souvent appréhendées à partir du prisme du risque. Au décours de recherches sociologiques sur l’exposition au risque infectieux (VIH et hépatites B et C) chez les personnes consommant des drogues par injection, nous avons eu l’opportunité de recueillir des récits sur la manière dont certains parviennent à se préserver face aux risques. Ces récits…
Fighting Calvin and Muhammad in Wall Almanacs after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes
How and why did large-format almanac prints—a relatively understudied form of media that reached its apogee under Louis XIV—amalgamate the battle against Calvinism and Islam in the 1680s? Combining visual and textual analysis, this article suggests that royal image makers linked Muslims and Protestants to defend the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and manifest the French king's religious zeal and imperial ambition while distracting from the ahd…

A Mediterranean View on Slavery and French Empire
A Tale of Two Guns
This chapter tells the story of two guns: one cast in Toulon by Jean Baubé in 1680, the other supposedly fired at Algiers in 1683. Both made of bronze to launch massive cannon balls, these weapons are linked by more than material and functional similarities. They are symbols of Mediterranean servitude and the ways it has been celebrated or concealed since the seventeenth century. During the 1680s, about two thousand esclaves turcs (enslaved Turks…
France and the Early Modern Mediterranean
Fernand Braudel loved the Mediterranean because he was not of the Mediterranean, or so he famously claimed in 1949, calling himself ‘a northerner like so many others in whose footsteps I have followed’.1 While the people and places around the Inner Sea shared a ‘common destiny’, the historian and his homeland stood apart. France, even its southern shore, hardly features in the Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II.2 Whe…

Ransoming “Turks” from France’s Royal Galleys
During the reign of Louis XIV, at least two thousand “Turks” ( Turcs ) labored for the Sun King.[1][1] Ottoman and Moroccan subjects, presumed to be Muslims, they helped power France’s expanding fleet of galleys during the late seventeenth century. These oar-driven vessels possessed naval as

Captives and Corsairs: France and Slavery in the Early Modern Mediterranean
Captives and Corsairs uncovers a forgotten story in the history of relations between the West and Islam: three centuries of Muslim corsair raids on French ships and shores and the resulting captivity of tens of thousands of French subjects and citizens in North Africa. Through an analysis of archival materials, writings, and images produced by contemporaries, the book fundamentally revises our picture of France's emergence as a nation and a colon…
Infidels at the Oar: A Mediterranean Exception to France's Free Soil Principle
Ottomans and Moroccans on France's galleys from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century violated the kingdom's ‘free soil’ principle. Evaluating naval, spatial, strategic, theological and juridical explanations, this article argues that employing Muslim rowers served pragmatic and symbolic ends, while provoking relatively little consternation among French leaders. Only after colonial slaves began claiming liberty in the metropole did questions ab…

Inter‐disciplinary but not Undisciplined: Writing the history of Aboriginal “education”
The history of Australian Aboriginal peoples sits uneasily on the margins of Australian history in much the same way as Aboriginal peoples themselves exist on the borders and interstices of the society that has colonised them and dispossessed them of their lands and cultures. The history of education likewise, sits somewhat on the margins of the discipline of history. The history of Aboriginal education, therefore, has never been a large field of…
