TRANSFERS OF PRECIOUS METALS AND THEIR
CONSEQUENCES (XVIIth-XXth CENTURIES)
After the first Round Table, in Paris at the École normale supérieure in
January 2012, Moneys and Economies during 19th Century, from Europe
to Asia, a second Round Table will be organized in the framework of
the program DAMIN, in cooperation with the Casa de Velázquez and the
LabEx TransferS (École normale supérieure, Paris). Precious metals
were often transferred from a region, or a country, to another: looting of conquered regions (such as Roman Spain, Gaul or Egypt), invasions (Vandals, Huns invading the Roman Empire, Crusaders arriving at
Constantinople), and, of course arrival of gold and silver from Americas
after 1492. Each time, the new metal disturbed the monetary systems,
sometimes improving, sometimes troubling the currencies and economies. The period considered is focused on the 19th Century, the question
of the depreciation of silver and the transfers of metals from America or
Europe to Asia, India, China, etc.
TRANSFERS OF PRECIOUS METALS
AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES
(XVIIth-XXth CENTURIES)
LA TRANSFERENCIA DE LOS METALES PRECIOSOS
Y SUS CONSEQUENCIAS (SIGLOS XVII-XX)
Después de la primera Mesa redonda celebrada en l’École normale supérieure (París), en enero de 2012, titulada «Dinero y Economías durante
el siglo XIX de Europa a Asia», se organiza una segunda en el marco del
programa DAMIN, en cooperación con la Casa de Velázquez y el LabEx
TransferS (École normale supérieure, París). Los metales preciosos eran
trasladados a menudo de una región, o de un país, a otro: el saqueo de
las regiones conquistadas (tales como Hispania Romana, Galia o Egipto),
invasiones (los Vándalos, los Hunos invadiendo el Imperio Romano, los
cruzados llegando a Constantinopla), y, desde luego, la llegada de oro y
plata desde las Américas después de 1492. Cada vez, la llegada de nuevo
metal afectaba al sistema monetario, a veces para mejorar, otras alterando la moneda y las economías. En este encuentro se estudiará especialmente el siglo XIX, la cuestión de la depreciación de la plata y el traslado
de metales desde América o Europa a Asia, India, China, etc.
