International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present

Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

Accidents and the role of the State in the 20th century

In the workshop on "Accidents and the role of the state" we want to discuss, from a historical perspective, the changing relationship between accidents and the modern state during the 20^th century. Strasbourg)-FRIAS (Freiburg) joint research project on military accidents in France and Germany in the twentieth century. We are therefore especially interested in proposals that deal with the role of the military. However, relevant topics for the workshop could, of course, also come from the realm of the histories of technology, of environment, of medicine, or of the rise of the modern state. We are interested both in presentations of case studies as well as in more conceptual approaches on the topic. Contributions that deal with accidents in German and French history are highly welcome. However, the call is by no means limited to historians of France or Germany.

The office as an interior (1880-1960)

Au cours de la « deuxième révolution industrielle » augmente considérablement l’activité dans le tertiaire et se développent les services administratifs dans le secteur industriel et public. L’employé devient ainsi la figure sociale de la modernité urbaine, qui témoigne aussi du rôle croissant de la femme dans ce secteur professionnel. Le colloque The office as an interior (1880-1960) aborde l’essor du travail administratif entre 1880 et 1960 à travers l’analyse de l’émergence d´un espace nouveau, le bureau, qui par ses arrangements contribue à la diffusion de nouvelles formes de sociabilité et réalise des nouveaux modes d’organisation du travail.

From silicosis to silica hazards: an experiment in medicine, history and the social sciences

What are the biases inherited from the constitution of medical knowledge? How does returning to the root of “scientific truth” open new avenues to contemporary research? The present colloquium is an unprecedented interdisciplinary experiment whereby medical experts, epidemiologists and historians will question the very foundations of current medical knowledge of silica hazards, in order to discuss the unknown origin of a range of systemic diseases.

Revisiting the “Great Labour Unrest”, 1911-1914

Un siècle après les débuts de la « Grande fièvre ouvrière », l’heure est propice à une redécouverte de cette lame de fond qui secoua les îles Britanniques quatre années durant. Si l’ampleur du mouvement n’est plus à démontrer (un million de grévistes en 1911, quarante millions de journées de grève en 1912, des syndicats qui franchissent le cap des quatre millions d’adhérents en 1914), les événements sont moins connus qu’on ne pourrait le croire et méritent d’être examinés sous des angles nouveaux. Loin d’être uniforme, le bouillonnement prit des formes très variées selon les localités et les régions : le colloque se propose donc d’éclairer spécificités et similitudes, à travers des gros plans sur les principaux ports du Royaume-Uni, mais aussi sur le pays de Galles, l’Ecosse et l’Irlande. Il se penchera aussi sur des aspects parfois occultés du phénomène, tels que l’implication des femmes dans la vague de grèves, les rapports interethniques ou encore la gestion des conflits sociaux par le patronat et l’État.

A West German Governance Compromise?

Stakeholder Relations from the ”Wirtschaftswunder“ to the Industrial Structural Crisis - 1950’s to the 1980’s

The current economic crisis leads one to question the main objectives companies should be striving for. The possibilities range within a field of controversy between an absolute shareholder orientation and a governance compromise with the different company’s stakeholders. This workshop aims to reassess how far stakeholder relations in different companies prove the existence of a specific West German governance compromise from the 1950’s through the 1980’s. Did companies only have the possibility to meet their stakeholders’ expectations because of their financial scope or did stakeholder orientation rather emanate from attempts to insure the company’s long-term profitability?
