CfP: Special Issue of Comparative Literary Studies: The Cultures of Global Post/Socialisms

We seek articles on cultural representations of post/socialism as a global historical formation. The term “postsocialism” was first coined in reference to 1980s innovations in Chinese-style state socialism, and the field of postsocialist studies critiques dominant narratives of transition in former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries.

CfP: Childhood in 20th Century History. The Italian Case

Starting from the new century, Italian historical studies on childhood in the 20th Century have known a growing, although not systematic, attention. Research has focused on some significant issues, such as wars, fascism, or the Shoah; or on transversal issues such as welfare or school and educational policies. A not secondary role has been played by the publishing industry thanks to the publication of memories and diaries by those experienced, during their childhood, central events of the 20th Century, first of all the World Wars and racial persecution.

CfP: Sociologies rurales dans le Sud global : le contexte du Maghreb

La revue de sociologie brésilienne « Contemporânea » de l’Université de São Carlos organise un dossier sur les sociologies rurales du Maghreb1. Ce dossier a pour objectif de:

i) familiariser les chercheurs brésiliens et, plus largement, sud-américains à la sociologie rurale maghrébine et

ii) à partir de l’espace maghrébin, penser le concept de post-colonialité dans une perspective analytique peu connue, et

iii) amorcer une interaction féconde entre les sociologues ruralistes issus (ou pas) des deux espaces géographiques.

Aalborg/Vienna, 10 November 2020

 

Dear members of the COST Action WORCK,

dear colleagues interested in the study of labour and coercion,

 

these are truly challenging times! Europe is in midst the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and several European cities are confronted with terror attacks and extreme violence. The current situation makes it extremely difficult for a funding tool dedicated to connecting people through meetings, conferences and training schools to spend the granted funds.
