Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe
Social justice has returned to the heart of political debate in present-day Europe. But what does it mean in different national histories and political regimes, and how has this changed over time? This book provides the first historical account of the evolution of notions of social justice across Europe since the late nineteenth century. Written by an international team of leading historians, the book analyses the often-divergent ways in which political movements, state institutions, intellectual groups, and social organisations have understood and sought to achieve social justice. Conceived as an emphatically European analysis covering both the eastern and western halves of the continent, Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe demonstrates that no political movement ever held exclusive ownership of the meaning of social justice. Conversely, its definition has always been strongly contested, between those who would define it in terms of equality of conditions, or of opportunity; the security provided by state authority, or the freedom of personal initiative; the individual rights of a liberal order, or the social solidarities of class, nation, confession, or Volk.

Prussia in the Historical Culture of the German Democratic Republic
Using the case study of Prussia, Marcus Colla presents a multi-perspective approach to the way that a distinctive 'historical culture' was constructed in the German Democratic Republic, evaluating the roles played by political figures, historians, and cultural elites, but also purveyors of popular culture, such as writers and musicians.
Rodéo Trip
Rodéo Trip se déroule aux States, en 2020, durant l’élection présidentielle entre Biden et Trump. L’histoire de trois personnages cabossés, qui voient leur vie se dérouler comme dans un rodéo. Marcus, ex-taulard, dealer. Scarlett, danseuse country. Tom, clown de rodéo. Ils s’accrochent, ils font de leur mieux, et puis, un jour ou l’autre, ils se font éjecter. Certains se relèvent, époussettent leurs jeans et remontent en selle. D’autres restent à terre, sonnés, la bouche pleine de poussière…
Rethinking Socialist Space in the Twentieth Century
This edited collection explores the problem of space under socialist regimes in the twentieth century. Bringing together contributions from international scholars with expertise in the architectural, urban, social, and cultural history of twentieth-century socialism, the book includes examples from China, Africa, Mongolia, Eastern Europe and the USSR. The volume reflects on how developments in the field over the past two decades have altered our understanding of how such spaces were constructed (both literally and discursively), how they could become sites of contested meanings, and how they were perceived outside the socialist world. Moreover, the volume is concerned with how scholarly approaches associated with post-colonialism, global history, gender history, and the ‘temporal’ and ‘sensory’ turns have reconfigured our knowledge of, and approach to, the history of socialist space. Chapter 5, 'Global Bridges, Local Ruins? Re-thinking Socialist Spaces Through the Experience of Non-aligned Enterprises,' is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
