(First announcement)
"Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man and Thief" Symposium on Encounters between Social Extremes in the Past
April 12-13, 1996 University of Helsinki, Finland
There has been plenty of research on the poor, on popular classes and on marginal groups. Middle classes and elites have made fields of study of their own. Few studies have focused on the interaction or meeting points between the upper classes and the popular classes. In the Department of Economic and Social History, we became interested in this theme and we have had a small project on it. We tought that it would be a good idea to arrange a venue for persons who have dealt with or are working on this kind of approach. If you have studied or are starting a research with this kind of approach, you are invited kindly to send us a short abstract not later than January 15, 1996 to
Docent Marjatta Rahikainen Economic and Social History P.O.Box 54 FIN-00014 Helsingin yliopisto
We will then announce you before the end of January to which workshop you have been admitted. The deadline for final papers will be March 18. Abstracts and papers can be submitted either in English, Spanish, French, Swedish or Finnish. The languages in the workshops will be either English, Swedish or Finnish, so please, informe us which language you prefare.
