La mobilité humaine est un phénomène aussi vieux que le monde. La migration étant l’une des dimensions de la mobilité, l'être humain a de tout temps migré. D'abord, parce qu'il était nomade et se déplaçait pour trouver sa nourriture. Ensuite, après la découverte de l'agriculture, il part à la recherche de meilleures terres ou de partenaires pour faire du commerce. Aujourd’hui, les flux migratoires actualisent et pérennisent des échanges marqués par l'ancienneté et la permanence (BENSAÂD ALI, 2002). En 2015, l’on dénombre plus 740 millions de déplacés dans le monde.

MATERIAL AND CONSUMER CULTURE NETWORK CALL FOR PAPERS:
"MATERIALITY, TIME AND SPACE"

Im Sommer 1904 trafen sich in der Berliner Philharmonie einige hundert Delegierte aus den sechzehn Mitgliedsländern des Internationalen Frauenbundes (International Council of Women, ICW). In zwanzig verschiedenen Sektionen diskutierten sie Fragen der Frauenbildung, der rechtlichen Stellung von Frauen, der weiblichen Berufstätigkeit sowie das weite Feld ihres sozialen Engagements.

We welcome chapter proposals for an edited volume book project provisionally titled “A global history of copper ”

The involvement of the Jews of Poland in leftist political movements in 19th- and 20th-century Poland is a complex and challenging topic. Bundism or Labor Zionism openly combined Jewishness with leftist ideology. The situation is more complicated with actors of Jewish background in non-Jewish organizations, who at least partly did not consider themselves to be Jewish but were regarded as such by others. On another level, we cannot speak unequivocally about “Polish Jews” or “Poland” in the imperial era of the long nineteenth century, as other affiliations were also possible.

Recent years have seen a proliferation of studies on the relations between the communist movement and anti-colonial liberation movements, on the encounters between the ‘socialist camp’ and the Third World, and more generally on communism’s influence on decolonisation and the formation of the postcolonial world. These studies have adopted global- and international-history perspectives which are ever less confined to the classic themes of debates within the Comintern or Soviet strategies during the Cold War.
