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.

Les années post-crise de 2008 ont vu émerger un phénomène nouveau en Europe, en particulier sur sa rive méditerranéenne : le populisme de gauche. Celui-ci s’inscrit néanmoins dans une histoire plus longue et une géographie plus vaste, dont le contenu et les limites font l’objet de débats.

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.

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.

La mise en valeur scientifique des fonds d’archives de la Banque de France ainsi que l’animation de la recherche historique sont principalement assurées par Michel Margairaz, professeur émérite à l’université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et par Olivier Feiertag, professeur à l’université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
