  Réunissant des chercheuses et des chercheurs issu·es de différentes disciplines (histoire, science politique, sociologie…), ce colloque se propose d’interroger l’organisation concrète des associations de travailleurs au XIX^e siècle, leur ancrage dans les mondes du travail ainsi que les projets socio-politiques qui les sous-tendent.
