  Call for papers - History

  The consular house

  Spaces, functions and users (Middle Ages - contemporary era)

  Cette journée d'étude ambitionne une histoire totale de la maison consulaire qui ne se limite pas à en faire un simple théâtre de marionnettes, mais lui redonne toute sa place dans la dynamique d’autonomisation de la fonction voire de la « raison consulaire » qui se joue entre le Moyen Âge et la période contemporaine. Nous invitons en particulier des contributions - en français et/ou en anglais - portant sur l’architecture de ces lieux, sur leur implantation dans l’espace urbain, sur les modalités de leur occupation par le consul et sa maisonnée, sur leur rôle social, sur les relations entre consulats d’une même ville ou encore sur les formes et les limites du régime d’extraterritorialité.

  Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

  The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

  The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of  socialist trade unions.
