CfP: Le mouvement des associations de travailleurs au XIXe siècle

« Dès lendemain de la bataille, hommes et femmes, tous avaient à la bouche ce mot d’association, symbole de salut, qui semblait avoir en soi quelque vertu mystique. On criait « Association, association » comme jadis les vilains criaient : « Commune ! » et les Croisés « Dieu le veut ! » (Lettre de Pauline Roland à Guépin, 10 mai 1850)

CfP: Workshop Politics from below

Protests and social movements are fuzzy objects to study. Scholars face a lack of clear boundaries, diversity-by-definition, and -often dramatic- changes over time. The field of social movement studies holds particular challenges to researchers with a view to getting the research design straight and becoming clear about the restrictions of an argument. These challenges contrast with the conditions of scientific production: the lion’s share of research on social movements and protests is realized in individual post-graduate projects.
