Mouvements citoyens, trajectoires sociales et genre

Cette journée est consacrée aux « nouveaux mouvements politiques » nés dans les années 2000 dans le sillage de ce que l’on a pu appeler l’alter-mondialisme, mobilisations qui ont pu également être qualifiées de « mouvements sur place », « mouvements de mouvements », « mouvements sans leaders, transversaux, … » ou « digitaux ». L’un des exemples les plus influents aura été sans nul doute les « indignados » en Espagne en 2011 mais d’autres expériences ont eu lieu dans nombre de contextes politiques démocratiques ou autoritaires (Tunisie, Egypte).

Command on a piece of cloth

How the Chinese Communist Party moved to Canton by means of a Dutchman

PHILIP, pseudonym of the Dutch international revolutionary Henk Sneevliet, travelled to China on behalf of the Russian communists in July 1922. Sewn into his coat was this command on a piece of cloth. With it he succesfully convinced the Chinese Communist party, of which he was one of the founding fathers, to work together with the nationalists in Canton. The Chinese communists moved their headquarters from Shanghai to Canton, only to move back to Shanghai one year later.
