WORKSHOP: BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS IN EUROPE: MEANINGS, TRANSLATION, HISTORIOGRAPHY AND ARCHIVES.
CALL FOR PAPERS To be held June, Friday 11th 2010
In French, the word “patron” is generic and has diverse meanings which would correspond in English to a number of social positions, such as for example: boss, manager, businessman, entrepreneur. Similar ambiguities are encountered in other languages, hence major semantic difficulties arise during communication between actors such as businessmen, scholars, and when translations of specific documents are needed. It is the same problem for the words business organization. We expect to clarify the significations and the ways these terms are used.
A data basis of known - whether available or not - archives of Business Organizations in Europe will be established ; a review of the pertinent literature will be also envisioned.
Overall, this workshop will lay the ground for future work and collaborations between Europeans historians and social scientists.
