  Tilting

  Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

  This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

  Work and Cultural History

  Symposium of The International Society for Cultural History — Lunéville (2012)

  Le congrès annuel de l'International Society for Cultural History, organisé au château de Lunéville du 2 au 5 juillet 2012, propose d’engager une réflexion sur l’articulation entre travail et culture, en établissant un dialogue entre différents courants historiographiques, dans une optique résolument transdisciplinaire. Il privilégiera la diversité des communications sur les plans méthodologique, géographique et chronologique. À l’heure où les questions du chômage, des retraites et de la souffrance au travail constituent des enjeux majeurs des sociétés contemporaines, l’histoire culturelle peut apporter un nouveau regard sur la notion de travail.
