The Criminal Justice Network explores all aspects of crime, policing, justice and punishment in all societies, but with a particular focus on the early-modern and modern periods.
La Tunisie ayant beaucoup plus inspiré les voyageurs à l’époque contemporaine (coloniale et post - coloniale), il nous a paru intéressant d’inviter universitaires et chercheurs à se pencher sur sa représentation lors des siècles ayant peu retenu l’attention, c'est-à-dire à l’époque moderne (1492 à 1789).
In the past decade, spatial analysis has yielded new ways to engage with historical information and revealed previously hidden patterns, trends, and understandings. From small-scale network representations and large scale mapping projects to a wealth of important articles and monographs, considerable new insight has been gained into processes of movement, spatial representation, migration, experience, and the dynamics of the early modern period.

Timothy Hampton reprises Grotius’ definition of truce as “the slumber of war” to show how early modern European playwrights staged that moment of negotiation as a paradox, as “an action that spends action, and by that very gesture reinstates power as potentiality” (Early Modern Diplomacy, Theatre and Soft Power, Palgrave, 2016, 28). A truce is thus a true moment of action, but an action that runs in parallel to a continuing state of war.
