“Data and its Discontents”

The 2019 Program Committee seeks individual paper and panel proposals on all aspects of social science history. We are especially interested in research that interrogates the many forms of quantitative and qualitative historical data. In particular, we seek papers that address core questions about historical data:

“Cinema and Social Conflicts,” Volume 6 (2019)DANIEL FAIRFAX, ANDRÉ KEIJI KUNIGAMI, AND LUCA PERETTI, eds. Introduction

Cinema has played a pivotal role in recounting, reinventing, and depicting the world we live in. Most major historical events have been represented in cinema, from the world wars to the fall of the Berlin Wall, while several others have been left invisible in the filmic archive.

New translations of the most important documents from socialist parties, soviets, and worker militias in Petrograd during 1917

Ce colloque a pour ambition d’éclaircir le rôle de la parole féminine dans cette conceptualisation de « la figure de la femme comme protagoniste de la migration, actrice économique, actrice sociale et du développement ». Autrement dit, nous nous demanderons ce que nous dit sa parole de son parcours féminin.

DESCRIPTION

Tags: ELHN

Entre los días 7 y 9 de noviembre de 2019 se celebrará en Oviedo el IX Congreso de Historia Social, Sociedades y Culturas. Treinta años de la Asociación de Historia Social, organizado por la Asociación de Historia Social y el Grupo de investigación en Historia Sociocultural de la Universidad de Oviedo.

El Congreso se estructura en torno a una conferencia inaugural y cinco núcleos de cuestiones con dos ponentes por núcleo y un relator para las comunicaciones presentadas que deberán asociarse a cada una de las secciones:

The past decade was marked by a new and massive investment phenomenon targeting land. Even if not always successful, thousands of new land acquisitions by private companies, investment funds, states or local elite did took place, and have dramatically extended the area concerned by large-scale agriculture (Borras et. al, 2014). Latin America, Africa, South-East Asia and Eastern Europa were the most affected regions, but in the meantime the agricultural models are experiencing rapid transformations (financialization, concentrations) in the Northern countries too (Purseigle et al, 2018).

The XII European Regional Congress of the International Labour and Employment Relations Association (ILERA) will take place in Düsseldorf on 5–7 September 2019 and intends to explore the changes in labour and employment relations across Europe and in a comparative perspective.

Deadline extended to 25 January 2019

International Conference, House of European History, Brussels,

Thursday-Friday, 16-17 May 2019

Organizers: Wolfram Kaiser (University of Portsmouth) and Anette H. Storeide (NTNU Trondheim) in cooperation with the House of European History, Brussels

 

The term ‘activist’ was first used to describe groups in the early twentieth century, including Irish nationalists, who were active on behalf of Germany during the First World War, but consolidated its contemporary meaning during the countercultural revolutions of the long 1960s. Conceptually, however, ‘activists’ – those who lead or drive forward movements to enact political change – have played a central role throughout modern Irish history, and continue to do so today.
