The workshop, organized with the support of the journal Le Mouvement Social, aims to shed a new light on current discussions about archives and address methodological and epistemological issues in studying marginalized individuals and groups. First, we aim to address marginality as a category of analysis. Second, we encourage reflections on cross-reading administrative and police archives with community archives. Finally, we welcome papers that focus on the materiality of archives.

Argument

Les propositions de communication devront interroger l’interpénétration en l’espace de travail et l’espace de vie, ou l’espace de travail et de hors-travail. Il s’agira  de se pencher sur la manière dont les moments de travail et de hors-travail s’ancrent dans un même lieu, y sont négociés et/ou y entrent en concurrence.

Nel 1873 la Gotthardbahn avviò sul territorio ticinese la costruzione delle cosiddette linee di pianura: la Lugano-Chiasso, la Bellinzona-Biasca e la Bellinzona-Locarno. Si trattò di una corsa contro il tempo per rispettare la scadenza del 6 dicembre 1874 che mobilitò migliaia di lavoratori soprattutto italiani. Esse costituirono la prima ossatura di un tracciato che dovette essere completato entro il 1882 con il collegamento attraverso il Ceneri, la tratta in direzione di Luino, le rampe d’accesso al Gottardo e il grande traforo alpino per connettere il Ticino al Nord delle Alpi.

Developments since 1990 are increasingly becoming the focus of historical research. For the issue 66 (2026) of the Archiv für Sozialgeschichte, we invite authors from the fields of history and the historical social and cultural sciences to reflect with us on the processes of social change that have taken place from the 1990s to the immediate present. We are interested in the manifold upheavals after the great »epochal change« of 1989/90, a history of transformation and co-transformation that is currently the subject of intense debate.

Madeline Linford (1895-1975) was the first woman on the Editorial Board of the Manchester Guardian, working for the newspaper from 1913 to 1953. She wrote theatre, film and book reviews as well as numerous articles on topics ranging from the Manchester sales to the clothing of the Victorian baby. In 1919 and 1921 she visited France, Austria and Poland, reporting on the efforts of the Friends’ Relief Mission to combat suffering and disease. In the autumn of 1939 she wrote articles on how the war was affecting women in Manchester.
