  Strikes and social conflicts

  Combined approaches to conflicts (18th century to present)

  After Lisbon 2011, the second International Conference Strikes and Social Conflicts will be held at the Maison des sciences de l’homme in Dijon (15-17 May 2013). The conference aims to open new avenues for thinking about social conflicts in a multidisciplinary and global perspective. The proliferation of conflicts all over the world today and the profound redefinition of practices in the era of globalization calls for changing perspectives, for an international opening of our horizons and for precise examination of the diversity of practices and imaginaries mobilized by the protagonists.

  Eating at work (XVIIIe-XXIth centuries)

  Eating at work, considered in the broad sense as all food consumption practices related to an employed occupation, both everyday and exceptional, in times of strike or during celebrations, constitutes a privileged observatory of social practices, whether they relate to hierarchical power relations or to horizontal, egalitarian sociability in the world of work. The last three centuries (XVIII-XXI centuries) have seen profound changes in the ways in which food is consumed at work, exposing the transformation of societies and their relationship to work, nutrition and taste. The movement seems to concern Europe and beyond, a dimension to be explored in our work, even so we assume that its rhythms varied widely.

  The history of workers in the 20th century: Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Great Britain and Italy

  Centre Georges Chevrier CNRS uB European seminar

  Les travailleurs semblent faire l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt dans l’histoire contemporaine. Les historiens participent à ce réexamen. Ils étudient les emplois et les travaux, les organisations et les sociétés, leurs valeurs, leurs solidarités et leurs tensions. Ils observent les parcours de vie entre différents types de travail, les écarts entre salariat et travail indépendant, ou entre précarité et protection statutaire, etc. Ils s’attachent aux rapports entre les espaces de travail et les territoires extérieurs, où se concrétisent les groupes sociaux. Mais les travailleurs ne constituent pas un monde fermé sur lui-même. Leur ensemble se recompose sans cesse, leur rôle dans la société varie, à travers l’action des pouvoirs, ou leurs propres interventions dans la sphère politique. Dans cette perspective, les conflits sont des moments privilégiés de recomposition sociale et politique.
