The IISH is proud to present a new online collection: the digitized price currents. What was the price of candied ginger sold in 1679 Amsterdam? How much did elephant teeth cost in 1817 in Amiens? Growing trade meant a growing demand for information on market at the end of the Middle Ages. The solution were printed lists that showed traded goods with the current prices next to it, often written by hand. These price currents from as early as the 16th century and from all over the world give us a wealth of information on past economic life.

Short Description

Ya está disponible la tercera edición del libro El feminismo en España. Dos siglos de historia, coordinado por Pilar Folguera.

 

En esta edición se han incluido nuevas aportaciones que son el resultado de nuevas reflexiones sobre el devenir del feminismo en España en los últimos años. No obstante, el núcleo originario de las aportaciones proceden de un curso que tuvo lugar en la Fundación Pablo Iglesias que tuvo como objetivo analizar la evolución del feminismo en España.

Dr Emmet O'Connor will deliver the annual lecture of the Society for the Study of Labour History (SSLH) in honour of John Halstead (1936- 2021). For the majority of attendees this will be an online event. A Zoom link will be circulate a few days before the event.

Cette journée d’étude se propose d’explorer les figures, les travaux et les représentations des femmes qui écrivent l’Histoire de 1789 à 1914. Ce long dix-neuvième siècle, consacré comme « siècle de l’histoire », est le moment d’un intérêt profond pour le passé – que l’on songe au succès du roman historique ou aux centaines d’auditeurs qui se précipitent aux cours de Guizot et de Michelet dans la première moitié du siècle.

Estimadas/os, con mucha alegría compartimos que la revista Archivos de historia del movimiento obrero y la izquierda fue catalogada en el cuartil Q1, la máxima categoría del SCImago Journal & Country Rank, portal disponible públicamente que incluye las revistas y los indicadores científicos de decenas de países a partir de la información contenida en la base de datos Scopus® (Elsevier BV).

« Le progrès technologique, la multiplication des moyens de communication, la professionnalisation et l’institutionnalisation des transports spécialisés dans les migrations ainsi que la mise en place de réseaux solides ont transformé les migrations en une mise en relation d’un ici et d’un ailleurs ». [WITHOL de WENDEN, 2010 : 111]

En occasion du bicentenaire de la proclamation de l’indépendance du Brésil advenue le 7 septembre 1822, nous proposons d’organiser une journée d’études qui portera sur la production intellectuelle des auteurs réunis sous l’étiquette de « Théorie de la dépendance ».

The international conference “Mediterranean Mobility between Migration and Colonialism (19th-20th Centuries)” will take place on 11 and 12 November 2022 at the Department of History, Culture and Civilisation of the University of Bologna.

As recent examples in contemporary Europe clearly show, the role of armed conflicts in the state- and nation-building processes should not be underestimated in the contemporary era. This is even more evident when considering the history of Europe in the “long nineteenth century”: the massive interdependences between bellicism and nation have played a crucial role in the processes of collective identity-making since at least the French Revolution.

 

Our theme, “Class in Everyday Life,” calls attention to spaces of class consciousness and organization in and beyond the workplace. During the current crisis, manifested in the ongoing pandemic, warming climate, and war, key fronts of working-class militancy have formed among workers in fast food, warehouses, transportation, education, tech, and healthcare.

The Society for the History of War – in collaboration with the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies, the Research School for Political History, the Netherlands Institute for Military History, the Faculty of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defence Academy, and the University of Amsterdam – invites proposals for a conference on the global history of war and empire. This will be a face-to-face conference in Amsterdam on 24-25 November 2022.
