Abstract | Long-distance trade and cross-border endowments offer a series of potentially important insights into the ways in which commercial and religious practices are affected by borders and contribute to redefining them through original forms of identity, trust, and transgression. The session aims to offer new perspectives gained from the examination of commercial practices in Latin Europe and in East Asia and religious practices in South Asia. Thus, it will also contribute to discussing the practice of comparative history and debating the usefulness of the notion of Middle Ages. |
