The 16^th and 17^th centuries european societies were a system of small communities which had been traditionally regarded as immutable, fixed and inward-looking. Nevertheless they have been deeply affected by the Reformations, the religious wars, the Modern State rising and the first globalization. This series of inside and outside shockes have increased vertical mobility and have led hierarchies and social networks of the early modern societies to evolve. The signs and sense of religious and social belonging in these communities were more and more blurred. These extensive and rapid changes challenged the traditional organisation of the early modern societies, which the precarious equilibrium was based on a process of constant negociation. Besides, these changes urged the individuals to question the legitimacy, the values and the identity of the social communities they belong to.

Since the end of the 1970’s, the researches about early modern societies have been greatly influenced by philosophical works (Foucault), sociological analysis (Elias) and anthropological studies (Geertz). Two ways of writing history have prevailed. On the one hand, there are biographies of individual person or collective bodies, prosopographies, and networks studies. They are all primary interested in careers of individuals or families incorporated in a community apprehended as perfectly stable. So that, these individual careers are considered as a way to write a history of the institutions (history of town, history of courts, history of social class...) On the other hand, cultural studies have produced a new literary history mostly focused on discourses.    

This conference aims to discuss not only the articulation between individual and social community but also the resilience of one to the other. This meeting wishes to provide
further insight into our understanding of the practices, dynamics and symbols of incorporation into small communities from 1500 to 1650. The concept of Incorporation implies that at any time any individual learn, practise and embody the usual behaviours, the shared values and the common rules that his community requires him. The notion of incorporation has been prefered to integration, because it refers precisely to an early modern concept.

Thus, this conference will be focused on the study of “small communities”. We define them as small societies which are organized on (and which are organizing) a defined territory, and which are build by recurrent practices, collective rituals and imaginaries, or by submission to common institutions and social structures. So that, only stable communities will be studied, not transitory groups.  The scope of the studies could be a city, a religious community, a parish, a village, a guild, a religious confraternity, a princely court, a legal or educational institution, or a kindred. One of this conference aims is to compare the sundry forms of incorporation developed by different sorts of communities in three countries (Spain, France, and England).    

The studies should discuss the new and the traditional forms of incorporations used by this small communities in order to incorporate not only the newcomers (outsiders, migrants, aliens) but the insiders too, whom the social position can have been changed by the religious, economic and political mutations of the 16th and 17th centuries.

For a long time, historians have focused on symbolic and practical coercion by social and political elites or by States. But what can we say about the other members of this communities who represent the majority of these societies ? Are they always passive or indifferent to the enduring existence of the group they belong to, or to the transformations which affect their community ? Moreover, the processes of resistance, opposition or marginalization of some members of these communities are well known, but are there some processes of negociation, concession, compromise or arrangement in these communities ? These diverse processes could be the proof that the social framworkes created by the community miss partly their scope: the enduring of the community and the maintaining of his cohesion.
