CfP: Socialist Culture Recycled (Eastern Europe: from Disillusions to Nostalgia and Beyond)
The popularity of Soviet ‘retro-culture’ in post-Soviet society is a passionately debated topic in current studies addressing the situation in Russia of the 1990s – 2010s.
CfP: Gender in Global and Transnational History
Transnational and global history have become intriguing fields of research for young historians.
CfP: Special Issue of Comparative Literary Studies: The Cultures of Global Post/Socialisms
We seek articles on cultural representations of post/socialism as a global historical formation. The term “postsocialism” was first coined in reference to 1980s innovations in Chinese-style state socialism, and the field of postsocialist studies critiques dominant narratives of transition in former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries.
CfP: (In)Secure Worlds: Scales, Systems and Spaces of Carcerality
Carceral systems have expanded over the past decades as strategies accompanying the many ‘wars on’ crime, drugs, poverty, and terrorism. These systems serve to securitize, isolate, manage and police specific groups of criminalized others. In effect, the carceral has become such an inextricable aspect of current security paradigms that scientists speak of a carceral age and carceral states (Moran et al. 2018, Garland 2013, Wacquant 2000).
CfP: Childhood in 20th Century History. The Italian Case
Starting from the new century, Italian historical studies on childhood in the 20th Century have known a growing, although not systematic, attention. Research has focused on some significant issues, such as wars, fascism, or the Shoah; or on transversal issues such as welfare or school and educational policies. A not secondary role has been played by the publishing industry thanks to the publication of memories and diaries by those experienced, during their childhood, central events of the 20th Century, first of all the World Wars and racial persecution.
CfP: Le populisme de gauche. Histoire, théorie, pratique
Les années post-crise de 2008 ont vu émerger un phénomène nouveau en Europe, en particulier sur sa rive méditerranéenne : le populisme de gauche. Celui-ci s’inscrit néanmoins dans une histoire plus longue et une géographie plus vaste, dont le contenu et les limites font l’objet de débats.
CfP: Sociologies rurales dans le Sud global : le contexte du Maghreb
La revue de sociologie brésilienne « Contemporânea » de l’Université de São Carlos organise un dossier sur les sociologies rurales du Maghreb1. Ce dossier a pour objectif de:
i) familiariser les chercheurs brésiliens et, plus largement, sud-américains à la sociologie rurale maghrébine et
ii) à partir de l’espace maghrébin, penser le concept de post-colonialité dans une perspective analytique peu connue, et
iii) amorcer une interaction féconde entre les sociologues ruralistes issus (ou pas) des deux espaces géographiques.

WORCK Newsletter N° 6
Aalborg/Vienna, 10 November 2020
Dear members of the COST Action WORCK,

Labor in State-Socialist Europe, 1945-1989: Contributions to a History of Work, edited by Marsha Siefert
Labor regimes under communism in East-Central Europe were complex, shifting, and ambiguous. This collection of sixteen essays offers new conceptual and empirical ways to understand their history from the end of World War II to 1989, and to think about how their experiences relate to debates about labor history, both European and global.
