We are excited to share with everyone these Labadie Collection posters. Acquired over the past 100 years, they range in topics from anarchism (our strongest collecting area) to civil liberties, anti-colonialism, anti-war/pacifism, feminism, labor, youth and student protest, ecology, Occupy, and more. Due to their format, until now, we have only been able to provide very limited access. Our hope is that they will get more use now that everyone can view them.

Using VHS and S-VHS cameras, Black Box Foundation, the first independent film group in Hungary filmed every important event in the years of the regime change and transition between 1988 and 1996, including political, social and cultural events, demonstrations organized by political groups that later evolved into parliamentary parties such as the Alliance of Free Democrats and Alliance of Young Democrats, meetings of oppressed churches, the creation of new independent trade unions and – last but not least – the mass protest against the later aborted construction of the Bős-Gabčíkovo–Nagymaro

revue « Amnis » n°15

La revue Amnis consacre son prochain numéro (n°15) à la question des distances et espaces entre les mouvements sociaux et le(s) pouvoir(s) dans les sociétés européennes et américaines.

In contrast to public claims of the early 1990s, space and geographies have not lost their central role in defining an ever more globalized world. We still live in territorialized spaces: not only in the narrow sense of states and societies that reside within their borders, but also geographies and spatial formats on regional and world scales. Research in the aftermath of the spatial turn in the humanities and social sciences is increasingly drawing our attention to the importance of understanding large-scale spatial dynamics for global history.

La création des premiers bataillons de soldats coloniaux, incarnation de la puissance de l’empire colonial français, débute dans les années 1840 : tirailleurs algériens (1841), corps de spahis (1845) et tirailleurs « sénégalais » (1857), ces derniers devenus le symbole au cours de la Grande Guerre des troupes coloniales. A partir de 1910, du fait de la crise démographique que connaît la France, leur recrutement se renforce.
