Le travail im/mobile : circulations, dépendance et droits des travailleuses et travailleurs subalternes

Revue « Sociologie du travail »

This special issue of Sociologie du travail examines how subaltern workers are affected by im/mobility, understood as the multiple spatio-temporal assemblages that simultaneously constrain and delimit their movement and mobility practices. The aim is to rethink work as the product of a tension between the mobilisation of labour, the restriction of workers’ movements, and the agency of workers themselves. Mobility and its corollary, immobility, are thus conceived as a battlefield on which logics of coercion, control, mobilisation, and engagement confront and are reconfigured alongside the aspirations to autonomy of the most vulnerable workers.

Espace(s) et Travail

Journée d’études des doctorant∙es de l’AFHMT

Depuis les années 1990, les historiens reconnaissent que l’usine n’est pas seulement un cadre productif, mais un lieu et un objet politique où se construisent et se disputent des rapports de pouvoir. Penser la relation entre espaces et travail revient alors à analyser comment l’organisation matérielle des lieux façonne les pratiques, les identités professionnelles et les formes de conflictualité. La journée annuelle des doctorant∙es de l’AFHMT visera à aborder la dimension spatiale du vécu des travailleur·euses et la façon dont le travail « fait espace » dans l'histoire.

Market Research in the Making

We invite contributions that focus on the study of market research in the making, in various countries in Europe and elsewhere. The term ‘making’ should be understood here in both senses of the word (the emergence of the field in the 20th century, and the making, i.e. the day-to-day manufacturing of market research surveys). By focusing on the making of market research, we aim to shift the focus away from leading figures in the sector, to examine a more comprehensive range of individuals involved in conducting surveys at different stages. What was the division of labour, from fieldwork to report writing ?

Edition and editorial practices, past and present

This international, bilingual conference organised with the Société Française Shakespeare and the Société d’Études Anglaises et Américaines des XVII^e et XVIII^e siècles seeks to analyse the world of edition and editions in the early modern period, as well as of works first produced in the early modern period. This conference therefore proposes to bring together discussions of the publishing and editorial worlds of the 16^th, 17^th and 18^th centuries, and the stakes and questions that underpin the making of contemporary editions of early modern texts.

Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences

The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Appropriating international spaces and professions

European women and feminists in the 20th century

The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, European studies and women's and gender history. Since the early 21^st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. However, writing a history of European and international relations from a female perspective and integrating a gender perspective into these scientific fields remains a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to take stock of approaches at the crossroads of the study of international relations, European integration, gender and feminism. It will provide a forum for debate on recent empirical work and work in progress.

The Exploitation of Subsurface Resources in Ancient Greece

The Greek term metallon may refer to either a mine or a quarry, whether used for the extraction of rock, ore, or salt. In this sense, it does not denote the nature of the resources themselves, but rather their shared origin: the subsurface. This common provenance opens the door to a cross-disciplinary reflection on the exploitation and management of such resources in ancient Greece. In recent decades, the study of the past has seen a growing interest in environmental questions. A key dimension of this research concerns the relationship between ancient societies and their environment: how did human groups interact with their surroundings to meet their needs, build infrastructure, or produce everyday objects? In this field, the rise of interdisciplinary approaches – at the intersection of archaeological sciences and historical inquiry – combined with recent methodological advances, has led to major developments in the field.

Entre éducation et travail : une sociologie au service de l’émancipation

Cette journée d’étude entend revenir sur l’œuvre de Lucie Tanguy (directrice de recherche au CNRS, 1937-2024) et d'en discuter les prolongements. Elle rassemblera des chercheur·ses qui ont travaillé avec Lucie Tanguy ou qui ont mobilisé ses travaux et de revenir sur les multiples pistes de recherche qu’elle a ouvertes. Les trois tables rondes couvriront la sociologie des relations entre école et entreprise, la formation continue des salariés, la mobilisation de la socio-histoire pour entrevoir les possibles à faire advenir, les programmes et comparaisons internationales (Allemagne, Brésil, Grande-Bretagne, Italie), sans oublier sa contribution à l’analyse de l’émergence et de l’évolution de la sociologie du travail en France.
