  Work and Consumption, from the 19th to the 21st century

  The division of scholarly research into distinct sub-fields often leads to a fractured understanding of objects of study that are in fact inter-connected when viewed at the level of individual experience or institutional life. Breaking down these barriers between sub-fields can thus provide a fertile means of generating new scholarly perspectives. Such is the aim of this symposium, which will bring together research on consumption and on work, in an effort to promote dialogue between what are currently rather disconnected fields.

  Militantism and Re-Compositions in Latin America

  Re-composition of Militantism, Militant Trajectories and Constructions of Political Elites

  This dossier aims to reflect equally on two issues central to the political reconfiguration of formerly militant activism in the most recent period of Latin American history. The first concerns the phenomena of political transformation of former militants and the networks and routes used by former militant actors to politically transform themselves. Many of these have been structured around the strategic positioning of radical political commitments, in addition to the development and integration of new generations of activists into partisan life. The notion of re-composition (translated from the French reconversion) seems appropriate in order to elaborate specifically the political landscape of formal and state connections in different cultural contexts of militantism. The second issue concerns the reconfiguration of militancy in societies that have undergone neoliberal reforms imposed in the last decades of the past century and the development of new approaches to the resistance to the neoliberal state.
