>> Strikes and Social Conflicts in the Twentieth Century
>> Lisbon, 17, 18, 19 March, 2011
>>
>>       The Institute of Contemporary History (New University of
>> Lisbon), the International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam),
>> The Archive Edgard Leuenroth (Unicamp/Brasil), the Centre for the
>> Study of Spain under Franco and Democracy (Autonomous University of
>> Barcelona) and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (France) start the
>> call for papers for the International Conference on Strikes and  
>> Social
>> Conflicts in the Twentieth Century that will take place in Lisbon
>> between 17 and 19 March 2011.
>>       The twentieth century has been confirmed as the century when
>> the capital-labour conflict was most severe. The International
>> Conference on Strikes and Social Conflicts in the Twentieth Century
>> will host submissions on the strikes and social conflicts in the
>> twentieth century and works on the theoretical discussion on the role
>> of unions and political organizations. We also invite researchers to
>> submit papers on methodology and the historiography of labour.
>>       We welcome submissions on labour conflicts that occurred in
>> factories, universities or public services, on rural and urban
>> conflicts and also on conflicts that developed into civil wars or
>> revolutions. National and international comparisons are also welcome.
>>       After the Russian revolution the relative strengths of capital
>> and labour were never again the same, with a period of revolution and
>> counter-revolution that ended with World War II. Protagonist of the
>> victory over fascism, the labour movement found itself neglected in
>> the core countries under the impact of economic growth in the 1950s
>> and the 1960s. But May 1968 quickly reversed the situation, with a
>> following boom of labour studies during the 1970s. Nevertheless once
>> the crisis of the 1970s was over, capital has regained the  
>> initiative,
>> with the deterioration of labour laws, the crisis of trade unions and
>> the subsequent despise in the academy for the study of social
>> conflicts. The recent crisis, however, shows that workers, the ones
>> who create value, are not obsolete. The social movements regain, in
>> the last decade, a central role in the world.
>>       The intensification of social conflicts in the last decade
>> promoted a comeback to the academia of the studies on labour and the
>> social movements. This conference aims to be part of this process: to
>> retrieve, promote and disseminate the history of social conflicts
>> during the twentieth century.
