EH.N: CfP: The Social History of Credit at the WEHC, Utrecht, 2009

[Claire Lemercier]

CALL FOR PAPERS
World Economic History Conference, Utrecht, 2009
Session: The Social History of Credit: From Micro-History to Global 
Perspective


The organizers of this session seek papers based on new, primary-source 
research into the social and cultural history of credit, or 
historiographic papers showing how a given literature has addressed the 
social dimension of credit in a larger region of the world (e.g., the 
history of credit in Latin America, in ancient China) or broad theme 
(e.g., women and credit, immigrants and credit). We welcome papers that 
explore trust, dependency, domination, reciprocity, cultural norms, and 
judicial enforcement as integral parts of the credit relationship.
