Action directe et défense des conditions de travail hier et aujourd'hui

Mercredi 25 février 2015
Université Ouvrière de Genève (UOG)

A l'occasion de parution du livre d'Alexandre Elsig, La Ligue d'action du bâtiment. L'anarchisme à la conquête des chantiers genevois dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le Collège du travail organise une rencontre-débat avec des interventions de l'auteur ainsi que de Manuela Cattani (SIT, CGAS), Vincent Leggiero (SEV-TPG) et Alessandro Pelizzari (Unia, CGAS). Modération: Michel Schweri.

Probably the most complex archives digitized within the IISH's Centrale-project are those of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

On the heels of the international conference on "Slavery in Africa" held in Kenya and Kwasi Konadu's Transatlantic Africa, which tells the story of transatlantic slaving through African optics and voices, this symposium brings together leading thinkers of global slaveries in the African world to share their work through a full-day of engaged dialogue, offering new perspectives and directions.

This program is sponsored by the Advanced Research Collaborative and the Ph.D Program in History. The symposium is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Date: 13 March 2015 to 14 March 2015
Location: IISH and Leiden University
The international workshop is organised by the International Institute of Social History, the Institute for History of Leiden University and the African Studies Centre of Leiden

Convenors: Prof. Jan-Bart Gewald (ASC and Leiden University) and Dr. Stefano Bellucci (IISH and Leiden University)

Some people say there are parallels between the current Syria combatants and the communists, anarchists and social democrats who, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) joined the International Brigades to fight against Franco. About 800 Dutch military volunteers were active in Spain. Upon their return their passports were taken from them and they became stateless.

Exposición

The new century has revealed that the barriers between Socialist economies and the Free World were more porous than expected (Dobson; Cain; Segreto) and that enterprises and businessmen played an important part in East-West interaction (Autio-Sarasmo and Miklossy; Eloranta and Ojala; Jensen-Eriksen). Nevertheless, a serious analysis of trade is clearly lacking from Cold War historiography.
