Abstract

Are strikes going out of fashion or are they an inevitable feature of working life? This is a longstanding debate. The much-proclaimed 'withering away of the strike' in the 1950's was quickly overturned by the 'resurgence of class conflict' in the late 1960's and 1970's. The period since then has been characterized as one of 'labor quiescence'. Commentators again predict the strike's demise, at least in the former heartlands of capitalism. Patterns of employment are constantly changing and strike activity reflects this. The secular decline of manufacturing in mature industrialized economies is of

Abstract

1871-1890 : les syndicats ne structurent pas encore la revendication des salariés. Flamboyante, surprenante, dramatique aussi, la grève est l’expression fondamentale d’une classe ouvrière qui passe à cette époque du monde de l’atelier à celui de l’usine. En mobilisant et en exploitant des sources multiples, on s’est efforcé de reconstituer l’histoire des grèves dans la France de la IIIe République, et sans négliger aucune dimension du phénomène. L’évolution et le rythme des grèves, leur développement et leur fluctuation, l’ensemble des composantes d’une grève (les types de revendications, la sociologie de l’engagement ouvrier) font la matière du premier livre. Le « cours d’une grève » - comment elle commence, comment elle dure, comment elle se finit - occupe le second, avec une attention particulière à la diversité des formes d’action, au rôle respectif des organisations et des hommes - qui sont les « meneurs » ? - et à la vie collective des grévistes, à leurs gestes, à leur parole. Cet ouvrage tente d’allier la rigueur d’une approche quantitative d’un fait social aux suggestions d’une littéraire foisonnante, et d’aider ainsi à la connaissance d’un monde ouvrier extrêmement mouvant, en quête de lui-même. De la Commune aux premières ébauches de grève générale, le parcours pionnier qu’il nous propose est devenu une pièce maîtresse pour la constitution d’une sociologie historique des conflits du travail.

Abstract

In June 1986, a Japanese watch factory in Hong Kong tried to fire 36 of its women workers. This provoked an unprecedented sit-in by 300 of the women employed at the plant. The sit-in lasted for 13 days and accounted for over half the days lost to labour unrest that year.

Abstract

In Pennsylvania Mining Families, Barry P. Michrina offers a luminous portrait of Pennsylvania coal miners and their response to economic oppression. He follows them from the great coal strike of 1927 through daily threats of injury and death in the mines to the departure of children and grandchildren as the industry has declined. Drawing on numerous first-hand interviews, as well as extensive archival research, he analyzes the change in work practices, the miners' own views about their ever-evolving situation, and relationships between miners and mining companies -- undercutting the stereotyp

Abstract

John Galsworthy first published in 1897 with a collection of short stories entitled "The Four Winds". For the next 7 years he published these and all works under his pen name John Sinjohn. It was only upon the death of his father and the publication of "The Island Pharisees" in 1904 that he published as John Galsworthy. His first play was The Silver Box, an immediate success when it debuted in 1906 and was followed by "The Man of Property" later that same year and was the first in the Forsyte trilogy. Whilst today he is far more well know as a Nobel Prize winning novelist then he was considered a playwright dealing with social issues and the class system. We publish here 'Strife' a great example of both his writing and his demonstration of how the class system worked at the time. He was appointed to the Order of Merit in 1929, after earlier turning down a knighthood, and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 though he was too ill to attend. John Galsworthy died from a brain tumour at his London home, Grove Lodge, Hampstead on January 31st 1933. In accordance with his will he was cremated at Woking with his ashes then being scattered over the South Downs from an aeroplane.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est le contraire d'un dictionnaire. Il ne parle pas de « langue » ; il ne prétend pas régenter les significations, par delà les emplois concrets du vocabulaire, pour édifier un répertoire de normes généralisables. Bien au contraire, c'est aux situations qu'il s'arrête, dans le fouillis de l'histoire, afin de saisir les différences d'utilisation davantage que les consensus, ces instants de fracture qui justement font avancer la langue. D'où l'aspect hétérogène d'un recueil d'articles et de chroniques d'origines diverses. Pour tous ces textes disparates, l'objectif est cependant le même : saisir la forme ou le fond d'un terme au moment d'une « entrée en politique », en entendant par « forme » sa manière d'être dans l'énoncé, ses liens aux autres mots, le rythme de ses fréquences, sa spécificité d'emploi, et par « fond » les stratégies qui se servent de lui au cours d'échanges entre locuteurs ou de situations d'affrontement dont la parole est témoin et actrice. Lors de ces échanges, se dissimulent - ou se révèlent - les enjeux profonds voire les idéologies d'arrière-plan qui habitent les mots et les liaisons entre mots. Ces études de cas, plus ou moins élaborées selon les supports, convergent vers une conception de l'émergence du sens que nous appelons « étymologie sociale ». This work is the opposite of a dictionary. It does not deal with “language”; it does not claim authority over meanings, beyond the concrete use of vocabulary items, to compile a directory of generalisible criteria. On the contrary, it focuses on situations, drawn from the chaos of history, to identify differences in usage rather than consensus, those moments of rupture which move language forward. Hence the disparate nature of a collection of articles and chronicles from various sources. For all these disparate texts, however, the aim is the same: to identify the form and content of a term at the moment when it “entered politics”, taking “form” to be its distinctive character in the…
