Social and Labour History News

The last few years have been marked by major economic, social and political turbulences. They have been years full of hope, but also full of threats. Years when the range of the possible has expanded. Years when we have seen innumerable injustices within a growing polarisation. In the face of an unprecedented crisis of civilisation, political and social activism has flourished anew, in parallel with the renaissance of reactionary forces and movements.

THE LEFT ALTERNATIVE IN THE 20TH CENTURY: DRAMA OF IDEAS AND PERSONAL STORIES
(By the 100th Anniversary of the Comintern)
Dates: 26-28 of June 2019.

International Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS

Organizers:
Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (Moscow)

The aim of this conference will be to analyse the characteristics of 19th-century French industrialisation and to understand how they distinguish France from other countries that went through the same process in the same era. Instead of using the English case as the only reference (as is customary), particular attention will be paid to a comparison between France and other continental European countries, especially Germany.

From its beginning the Soviet Union was a project of substantial reshaping of gender relations. A central goal of Soviet politics was to encourage women to undertake paid work. In transferring practically all economic and social power to the state, customary gender roles of men as breadwinners and patriarchs were challenged. Starting with war communism through forced industrialization and collectivization to compulsory military service, socialist workers and peasants were tied to the modern disciplinary power as never before.

Pour la septième année consécutive, les Reclusiennes proposent un festival de la pensée mêlant habitants, chercheurs, responsables et acteurs associatifs dans un esprit d’animation culturelle, d’éducation populaire et artistique. Ce festival est placé sous l’égide d’Elisée Reclus, géographe, écrivain et anarchiste du XIXe siècle né à Sainte-Foy-la-Grande.

Can Smart City applications, 3D displays, tweets, or software be considered as documents? Is the concept of ‘‘document’’ still valid in a structurally unstable digital context that is continuously changing? Such questions emerge naturally when we consider the born-digital objects which are thriving today in a great variety of forms. Behind the term “born-digital”, we here refer to any entity, produced using digital technology and perceived by our senses (of sight, hearing or touch). C.

Slavery (the treatment of humans as chattel) and enslavement through conquest, birth, gender, race, ethnicity, and exploitation of indebtedness have been an intrinsic part of human societies.

Gemeinhin gelten 1917 und 18 als „die“ Revolutionsjahre. Doch in internationaler Perspektive erreicht die revolutionäre Nachkriegskrise 1919 erst ihren eigentlichen Höhepunkt, mit Streiks, Unruhen und Versuchen die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse umzuwälzen von Irland bis Ungarn.

This volume provides evidence for the argument of a central place of pedagogy in the interpretation of Gramsci’s political theory. Gramsci’s view that ‘every relationship of hegemony is necessarily a pedagogical relationship’ makes it imperative to dismiss narrow and formal interpretations of his educational theories as applying to schooling only. This book argues that what is required rather is an inquiry into the Italian thinker’s broad conceptualisation of pedagogy, which he thought of as a quintessential political activity, central to understanding and transforming society.
