Classicism and War in the 20th Century
Journal of War & Culture Studies

This CfP relates to a special journal issue on classicism and war in the 20th century.

This collection of essays takes a global approach to exploring the complexities of the body, gender, and work through the lens of colonialism. By using colonialism as a lens, scholars are able to demonstrate that the experiences of women at work in relation to their bodies forsakes temporality.

“The new world will be different,” wrote the housewife Nella Last in her wartime diary on May 10, 1945. In the wake of World War II, amidst all of the destruction, visions and ideas of how to rebuild communities started to simmer, igniting minds of politicians, refugees, and ordinary citizen across the globe. How did these ideas differ in various regions, especially across the growing East-West divide? How were policies and practices of reconstruction carried out and by whom?

Starting in the United Kingdom, the abolition of slavery quickly became one of the most pressing social issues of the 19th century. Contrary to the commonly held perception that the anti-slavery movements were a teleological success story, slavery underwent a number of phases of abolition and reintroduction, while the informal exploitative structures of ‘slavery’ never completely disappeared. This was exacerbated by the fact that the various systems of slavery spanned several eras, continents, and ideological histories.

Appel à communication - Journée des doctorant.es de l’AFHMT

« Travail illégal, travail informel »

La journée des doctorant.e.s de l’AFHMT se déroulera le 3 juin 2023 au Centre Malher (Amphithéâtre Georges Dupuis), (9 rue Malher, 75004 Paris).

Ce colloque propose d’entrer dans les logements, les parties communes ainsi que les abords des immeubles et maisons des faubourgs et banlieues pour aborder l’histoire de ces territoires sous un autre angle que celui des espaces productifs, périphériques ou relégués et en mettant en question l’image contemporaine des banlieues populaires comme lieux d’habitat contraint, mal conçu, inhabitable ou encore des « banlieues dortoirs ». « Habiter la banlieue » n’est pas l’équivalent de « vivre en banlieue » car c’est l’espace privé qui est alors en jeu.

En 2022, la Fondation Jean-Jaurès a mis au jour un bel ensemble de documents d’archives inédits de Jules Guesde, fondateur avec Jean Jaurès du Parti socialiste en France. Jean-Numa Ducange, spécialiste de l’histoire du socialisme et des gauches européennes, les a parcourus en avant-première et en analyse l’intérêt qu’ils représentent pour la recherche.
