CFP: Sites of Memory of Socialism and Communism in Europe

Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the history of socialism and communism still presents itself as one of the most polarizing and controversial themes in Europe's culture of memory.

CFP: Workshop: Transnational Contacts in the Socialist World

In 1961, Nikita Khrushchev hailed the development of a "world socialist system," which he defined as "a social, economic, and political community of free, sovereign nations [. . .] united by common interests and goals, by the close ties of international socialist solidarity."

The Hidden Abodes of Production. Labour, commodities and repertoires of evaluation in the European eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

THE HIDDEN ABODES OF PRODUCTION

LABOUR, COMMODITIES AND REPERTOIRES OF EVALUATION IN THE EUROPEAN EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES

Indifference towards any specific kind of labour presupposes a very developed totality of real kinds of labour, of which no single one is any longer predominant. As a rule, the most general abstractions arise only in the midst of the richest possible concrete development, where one thing appears as common to many, to all. – Karl Marx
