In January 2019 the new Cluster of Excellence “Beyond Slavery and Freedom. Asymmetrical Dependencies in Pre-Modern Societies” was established at the University of Bonn.

So far, dependency research has often dealt with transatlantic slavery or slavery in antiquity. The Cluster seeks to broaden this perspective in terms of content, space and time. From the starting point of five research areas, researchers will explore perspectives of dependency(ies), with the added aim of also broadening individual academic training through cooperation across disciplines.

Le fonds des papiers personnels de Marc Drumaux (Président du PCB de 1968 à 1972) a été inventorié et est disponible via notre catalogue en ligne Pallas ou ci-dessous. Cet outil permettra des recherches plus approfondies concernant sa vie, ses activités politiques et les sujets pour lesquels il a montré un intérêt particulier (évènements de Tchécoslovaquie, unité du mouvement international, fermeture des charbonnages...).

International Conference, Technical University Dresden, 1 – 3 April 2020

The Chair of History of Eastern Europe at the University of Konstanz is pleased to invite applicants to a workshop exploring new developments in the labour history of globalisation in socialist Eastern Europe. Focusing on the period between the 1960s and the 2000s, the workshop seeks to investigate how growing economic entanglements between socialist Eastern Europe (Yugoslavia and the CMEA) and the Global South on the one hand, or the Western capitalist world on the other, shaped workplaces and working lives “back home”.

Le colloque se tiendra à la Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme, à Aix-en-Provence, les 14 et 15 novembre 2019

It is supported by the Embassy of Ireland to France.

Over the past four decades or so, gender scholarship has transformed our understanding of many key issues of historical concern. Particularly fruitful have been explorations of consumption in its varied manifestations, undertaken by researchers studying the subject within different disciplines.
