  Undertaking and sharing - the potential for social transformation? 7th Georges Doriot study days

  VIIe journées Georges Doriot

  L’objectif de ces VII^e journées est d’aller au-delà de la critique pour mettre en débat des conceptions alternatives de l’entrepreneuriat qui considèrent davantage les dimensions sociales, transformatives et relationnelles de l’entrepreneuriat, qu’il soit ou non marchand. En somme, ces journées voudraient porter l’attention de la communauté sur l’« entre » des dynamiques entrepreneuriales.

  Socio-economic approaches to sexuality

  La sexualité est une forme d’échange social qui relève à la fois du symbolique, du politique, du juridique, mais aussi – et c’est ce qui nous intéresse ici – de l’économique. Si quelques ouvrages récents consacrent des développements à la question, l’économie de la sexualité est absente des principaux ouvrages de synthèse. Ce colloque vise à discuter des travaux en sciences sociales qui examinent les rapports entre la sexualité et l’économie. Cet événement scientifique se tiendra à Lille, les 12 et 13 octobre 2017. Chacune des sessions sera discutée par un chercheur membre du comité scientifique.

  Summer School - History

  Work organization in Medieval and Modern periods

  6th summer school of economic history

  The topic of the the sixth economic history summer school will enable us to continue and deepen the themes developed over the past few years (the value of things, poverty, common goods, means of payment and quality). While work involves acting on material things, its organization implies a reflection on the property of things, the relationships with time, discipline, control and know-how. On the part of governments, it also requires information that makes it possible to reflect on the state of economic life as well as on all the conflicts endemic to society, to be able to work out legal and practical devices that are necessary for the constitution of a particular knowledge. It also finally questions issues around technical training and the command of various forms of know-how, in contexts that sometimes place some rival systems in a competing situation.

  Engineers and society in India

  From c. 1850 to present times

  More than any other, the profession of engineer appears to encapsulate many of the transformations affecting contemporary India today. Engineers symbolise the rise of the so-called middle classes, and the manner in which India has positioned itself as an emerging power in the international labour market, as it has become one of the favourite destinations for major technology firms.

  Working overtime: longer working hours

  La nouvelle revue du travail journal issue no. 11

  The first issue of the Nouvelle Revue du Travail focused on changes in the temporality of work and how this affected work and workers while highlighting the fragmentation of time at work. Between France’s January 17^th 2003 Fillon law and August 6^th 2015 Macron “Economic growth, activity and equal opportunity” law, the incremental weakening of the country’s 35-hour workweek laws translated into longer working times, accompanied by a general policy of extending peoples’ working lives by requiring them to pay into their pension pots for a longer period of time. Hence the decision taken in this 11^th research strand to focus on the extension in working time.

  Low-cost practices

  The notion of “low-costing” - which can refer to a production process or finished product – is difficult to define. The term is also applied in a geographic sense, referring to the cheapness of a country’s workforce. This semantic confusion is one of the reasons it is worth focusing on the construct and analysing its growing importance, notably in the Western world.
