This conference is organized within the framework of the exploratory project MOVING CITY (EXPL/HAR-HIS/1521/2021), which aims to understand the human forces that participated in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir (1578). The project focuses not only on the military history of the event itself, but also on the study of the ransom of captives caused by the battle, and more generally, on the captives of the Mediterranean and Atlantic corsair wars.
With the aim of promoting interdisciplinarity and dialogue, a call for paper proposals is open to researchers from different thematic areas.
Proposals must be submitted with a title, abstract (about 500 words), and a brief biography (maximum 150 words) until March 31, 2023. The conference will be organized in both in-person and online modalities. A selection of the presented papers will be published in a collective book with scientific arbitration.
