  Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

  The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

  The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of  socialist trade unions.

  Madrid, traces and traced (1950-2000)

  La ville, lieu « où se trame l'existence humaine » comme le formule Lewis Mumford offre un carde de réflexion applicable aux villes modernes. Le choix de Madrid est un choix comme un autre, nul besoin de l'expliquer sinon que rien ne disposait cette bourgade médiévale à devenir capitale, encore moins métropole. Les approches seront croisées, sociologiques, urbanistiques, littéraires, linguistiques et historiques.

  Two religions beneath the same roof

  The history of pluri-confessional families in the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula

  Ces journées d’étude abordent des questions portant sur les familles à composante pluri-religieuse. Nonobstant les travaux consacrés aux groupes religieux dans les sociétés multiconfessionnelles qui, le plus souvent, opposent ces « communautés » présentées comme des blocs monolithiques, l’histoire a le devoir de mettre au jour le vécu singulier de chaque individu. L’étude des minorités ne peut se réduire au collectif, au général. Si l’historien aime à dresser des tableaux synoptiques d’une période, d’un lieu, ici l’occasion sera offerte de s’interrogersur ces stratégies discursives. Le groupe religieux d’appartenance des individus peut constituer un tout, mais n’oublions pas que les familles et les individus en réalisent les parties.
