Crank handles: A muscular history of industrialization (XVIII th -XXI th centuries)

The crank handle is an apparently simple device, so simple that its historical study seems to stop when industrialization begins. Although the first industrial machines did not run on coal and steam but on muscles and cranks. The workshop aims to interrogate the persistence of the crank handle driven by human force, even as new energy sources overlap. To what extent did the cranks accompany the mechanization of production in the past and today? How did they shape contemporary industrialization? How did these crank techniques coexist with large industry? In what spaces and under what conditions does this cohabitation take place?

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.
