An end-of-the-year visit to the warehouse of a #museum in #Bergamo to take a look at artifacts from #Haiti from #KingChristophe’s time. I am liaising between the museum & whoever can offer advice on how to best proceed with the identification & analysis.
More on how these artefacts made it from Haiti to Bergamo:

A 🧵 about my paper. Through the sacrament of #confession, I try to reconstruct #enslaved agency in the #EarlyModern 🇫🇷 #Caribbean & show that slaves were attentive to tensions between #Church & State.
#Confession was an opportunity to interact with a recognized authority (priests) under the seal of secrecy & away from the vigilance of plantation staff.
Slaves used silence & loquacity as strategies in dealing with the priests.
And what if #sins trespassed into legal #crimes & elicited a punishment beyond spiritual atonement?
A 1777 Reglèment envisaged public penance for #marronage, poisoning & abortion. Selected slaves would be appointed vergers, wear a surplice & a cassock & monitor the church doors & the arrangement of people inside it.
For #missionaries: Reglèment→obedience.
But #enslaved #Africans may have seen it as a brake to planters’ violence, & a way to shape a sense of shared identity by co-identifying “sinners” & co-enacting punishment.
Nel tempo libero scrivo sulle mie peripezie con la #linguaTedesca. Sono schegge di pensieri che Il #Mitte, giornale #italofono in #Germania, lancia in rete per me.
In meiner Freizeit schreibe ich über meine Peripetien in die #deutsche #Sprache. Gedankensplitter, die #IlMitte, die italienischsprachige #Zeitung in #Deutschland, für mich online stellt.

Taking the theme of ‘abolition’ as its point of departure, this book builds on the significant growth in scholarship on unfree labour in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds during the past two decades. The essays included here revisit some of the persistent problems posed by the traditional comparative literature on slavery and indentured labour and identify new and exciting areas for future research. This book is intended for a broad audience, including scholars, students as well a
