Ce colloque, organisé au centre international de Cerisy-la-Salle par l’Office Universitaire d’Études Normandes de l’université de Caen Basse-Normandie, s’est penché pendant cinq jours sur la question de la contestation dans le monde normand. Selon la définition des dictionnaires, contester c’est « dénier », « récuser » ou encore « refuser ». Autant de termes qui s’appliquent parfaitement à une Normandie qui, de ses origines au XVIIIe siècle, a connu, voire subi, différents pouvoirs : celui des ducs jusqu’en 1204, puis celui de la Couronne de France, sans oublier celui de la Couronne d’Angleterre. De plus, l’extension européenne de cette province, en Angleterre et en Italie, n’a pu que susciter des contestations du pouvoir ou plutôt des pouvoirs, ceux auxquels les Normands étaient soumis ou ceux qu’ils ont exercés. Les organisatrices du colloque ont donc souhaité examiner les différents épisodes contestataires liés à ces grandes phases de l’histoire de la Normandie en choisissant toutefois de s’arrêter à la veille de la Révolution française qui constitue une nouvelle étape, qui affecte la France tout entière. Une étude sur le long terme a paru être à même de dégager une éventuelle spécificité de la contestation normande. Sur ce point, signalons que les dictionnaires donnent également comme synonyme de contester le verbe chicaner. Ne dit-on pas justement que le Normand est chicanier ? La fameuse devise « C’est mon droit et j’y tiens », que l’on attribue traditionnellement au Normand, n’est-elle pas révélatrice d’une mentalité contestataire bien affirmée ?

The events of 1968 have been seen as a decisive turning point in the Western world. The author takes a critical look at ""May 1968"" and questions whether the events were in fact as ""revolutionary"" as French and foreign commentators have indicated. He concludes the student movement changed little that had not already been challenged and altered in the late fifties and early sixties. The workers' strikes led to fewer working hours and higher wages, but these reforms reflected the secular demands of the French labor movement. ""May 1968"" was remarkable not because of the actual transformatio

Close to three hundred stores and supermarkets were looted during week-long food riots in Argentina in December 2001. Thirty-four people were reported dead and hundreds were injured. Among the looting crowds, activists from the Peronist party (the main political party in the country) were quite prominent. During the lootings, police officers were conspicuously absent - particularly when small stores were sacked. Through a combination of archival research, statistical analysis, multi-sited fieldwork, and taking heed of the perspective of contentious politics, this book provides an analytic description of the origins, course, meanings, and outcomes of the December 2001 wave of lootings in Argentina.

Le présent ouvrage tente de repenser la révolte des étudiants du printemps 68 en prenant à contre-pied la lecture aujourd'hui dominante. Il montre ce qui s'est effectivement passé au « sous-sol » des événements : comment ce qui était pour une génération la réalité sociale, le monde commun, l'ordre évident, s'est défait, est devenu scandaleux, absurde ou dérisoire aux yeux d'une fraction de la génération suivante.

The 'politics of provisions' - forceful negotiations over sustenance - has created surprising contests in world history, particularly in times of market transition. In England a 'politics of provisions' evolved in a dialogue between popular riots and paternalist subsistence policies from Tudor dearths to the Victorian embrace of free-market doctrines. Hence provision politics was a core ingredient of both state-formation and of the emergence of the first market economy and society in England. This book is the first full-scale critical revision of E.P. Thompson's seminal model of the 'moral eco
