Mediterranean Diasporas. The Migration of Albanians and Gypsies from the Ottoman Empire to the Kingdom of Naples in a compared perspective (XV- XVIII)

MeDi是一个项目，旨在从一个新的角度看待少数群体因被迫移徙而融入社会的动态。感谢与导师玛丽拉文教授的合作，她是剑桥耶稣学院的早期现代史教授和研究员，是早期现代意大利和欧洲社会和文化史专家，我想通过提出这项创新研究来改善我的学术生涯，这项研究提出了一些非常热门的主题。通过比较阿尔巴尼亚人和吉普赛人在15世纪和18世纪之间的流散，将他们从拜占庭帝国带到那不勒斯王国，研究旨在分析这些平行运动，这些运动导致了完全不同的包容和排斥动态，获得对比特权和特许权，以及在意大利南部的永久性，仍然保留了第一次互动的一些特征。之所以选择这两个少数民族，是因为它们保持了一些共同的特征，有助于进行比较，从而可以从横截面的角度审视移徙历史，并开辟新的思考点。通过与语言学，人类学，艺术史和移民心理学相互作用的跨学科方法，我将首先分析广泛的书目，然后我将通过深入的档案研究（巴利亚多利德，马德里，那不勒斯，科森扎）记录这些存在的连续性及其与东道国人口的相互作用。使用这些文件，我将调查和比较这些少数民族如何保持他们的民族身份，最后我将返回的研究，使他们的调查结果公开和访问使用开放获取方法。除了学术价值之外，该项目还将制作和传播关于地中海移民的替代叙事历史，这在这一时期是非常必要的，而且还包括性别研究，这是这项研究的全部内容。

MeDi is a project that aims to give a new perspective on the dynamics of integration of minorities as a result of forced migration. Thanks to the collaboration with the supervisor Prof. Mary Laven, Professor in Early Modern History and Fellow at Jesus College in Cambridge, expert in social and cultural history of early modern Italy and Europe, I would like to improve my academic career proposing this innovative research which proposes some very topical themes. By comparing the diasporas of the Albanians and the Gypsies between XV and XVIII centuries, that brought them from the Byzantine Empire to the Kingdom of Naples, the research intends to analyse these parallel movements, which led to completely different dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, access to contrasting privileges and concessions, and a permanence in southern Italy that still retains some of the characteristics of that first interaction. These two minorities were chosen because they maintain some common features useful for a comparison that can offer a cross-sectional look at the history of migrations and open new points of reflection. With an interdisciplinary approach that interacts with linguistic, anthropology, history of art and psychology of the migration I will problematise on the traditional representation of these two nations by first analysing the extensive bibliography, then I will document the continuity of these presences and their interactions with the host population through in-depth archive research (Valladolid, Madrid, Naples, Cosenza). Using these documents I will investigate and compare how these minorities kept their ethnic identity, and finally I will return the research making their findings public and accessible using an Open Access Methodology. Beyond the scholarly value, the project will produce and disseminate alternative narrative history on migrations in the Mediterranean that is so necessary in this period, but also in Gender studies that are full part of this research.
