CfP: Protest Across Time: Temporalities of Social Movements

Protest is frequently analysed through eventful moments (demonstrations, strikes, occupations, sudden waves of contention) yet contentious politics also unfolds through longer temporal trajectories that shape what actors can do, what they remember, and how they persist. This special issue invites contributions that place temporality at the centre of protest analysis, examining how mobilisation is embedded in sequences, durations, and rhythms that extend beyond the “peak”.

CfP: ‘Halt! Who goes there?’ Registration of residents, travellers and migrants in historical perspectives (Workshop, University of Vienna)

Workshop, 11.2.-12.2.2027, University of Vienna

Monitoring mobility and keeping records of the population and/or individuals present in a state’s territory seems an indispensable element of modern statehood and knowledge-based governance. However, different countries used different criteria, set different priorities, and employed different methods and tools to register and locate people. Even today, there is no universal understanding of population registration.
