The Paris Commune 1871-2021. A cherished legend

Le mardi 16 mars prochain, de 14h à 16h, l'Institut CGT d’histoire sociale organise, dans le cadre du chantier d'étude "Syndicalisme et service public", une rencontre autour du thème "Syndicalisme et service public de la santé (20e-21e siècles)" avec des interventions de Christian Chevandier, université du Havre et de Daniel Prada, ancien membre du Bureau confédéral de la CGT en charge des questions de santé.

Ante la excepcional situación actual que entre otras cuestiones impide el normal desarrollo de una investigación histórica (limitaciones de movilidad en el país, aforos limitados de archivos históricos, etc.), el Grupo de Estudios sobre la Historia Contemporánea de Extremadura (GEHCEx) ha acordado APLAZAR la celebración del XVI Encuentro historiográfico del GEHCEx.

Le 150e anniversaire de la Commune de Paris a commencé !

Nel 2021 ricorre il centenario della nascita del Partito Comunista Italiano. E’ un’occasione per riflettere e studiare quella vicenda politica, fondamentale nella storia politico-culturale italiana del Novecento. La Fondazione Gramsci Emilia-Romagna prevede una fitta serie di attività dedicate con particolare, benché non esclusiva,  attenzione alla esperienza dell’Emilia-Romagna.

Frontline and Essential Workers Face the Beast exhibit is currently on view at the American Labor Museum.  The exhibit features original paintings of frontline workers by New York contemporary artist Steve Derrick.  Mr. Derrick used photos of frontline workers posted on social media to paint portraits.  He sent the completed paintings to the workers he portrayed as a way to thank them for their labor during these trying times.

Millions of men and women worldwide are part of the essential workforce on the frontlines of the Covid19 pandemic.

The recent revival of Marx scholarship has shown his relevance to urgent present-day issues. It has sometimes been forgotten that in order to fully appreciate his work, we need to know how it related to issues and movements in his own time. Therefore, Nineteenth Century Prose invites papers for a special issue on Karl Marx in his own times. Contributions can attend to social conditions, movements, persons, texts, cultural and political events that made an impression upon him, as well as his impact on others. The deadline is 31 October 2021.
