Alors que l'analyse des conflits du travail a eu tendance, au cours des dernières décennies, à quitter le devant de scène des travaux de sociologie du travail, les fortes mobilisations contre la loi Travail, et le mouvement des « gilets jaunes » invitent non seulement à poursuivre les analyses sur cet objet mais également à les renouveler. C'est ce que propose de faire cet ouvrage qui rassemble des travaux initialement présentés lors des 16e Journées internationales de Sociologie du travail. Plutôt que de se cantonner à l'analyse des conflits du travail, cet ouvrage prend le parti de privilégier l'analyse des luttes au travail et pour le travail, c'est-à-dire d'étudier ce qui se joue au-delà des frontières des relations professionnelles. Cette démarche permet d'élargir le champ des conflictualités en mobilisant de nouveaux outils d'analyse, de nouvelles approches et en intégrant à l'analyse des terrains jusque-là inexplorés. Elle renouvelle ainsi les façons d'appréhender les transformations de la conflictualité relative au travail. Quelles sont les nouvelles formes de mobilisation ? Entraînent-elles de nouveaux répertoires d'action ? Engagent-elles de nouveaux acteurs et de nouvelles actrices ? Quelles sont les frontières de l'action syndicale et militante ? Les transformations du travail et de l'emploi participent-elles également au renouvellement des revendications et des enjeux légitimes de lutte ? Quelles mobilisations sont possibles en situation de précarité ou d'isolement professionnel ? Les contributions ici rassemblées dressent un panorama des luttes au travail et pour le travail. Bien que non exhaustif, cet ouvrage illustre la variété et les évolutions de ces luttes au regard de leurs objets, des modes d'action mobilisés et des réactions qu'elles suscitent.

The first global history of hunger strikes as a tactic in prisons, conflicts, and protest movements.   The power of the hunger strike lies in its utter simplicity. The ability to choose to forego eating is universally accessible, even to those living under conditions of maximal constraint, as in the prisons of apartheid South Africa, Israeli prisons for Palestinian prisoners, and the detention camp at Guantánamo Bay. It is a weapon of the weak, potentially open to all. By choosing to hunger strike, a prisoner wields a last-resort personal power that communicates viscerally, in a way that is undeniable--especially when broadcast over prison barricades through media and to movements outside. Refusal to Eat is the first book to compile a global history of this vital form of modern protest, the hunger strike.   In this enormously ambitious but concise book, Nayan Shah observes how hunger striking stretches and recasts to turn a personal agony into a collective social agony in conflicts and contexts all around the world, laying out a remarkable number of case studies over the last century and more. From suffragettes in Britain and the US in the early twentieth century to Irish political prisoners, Bengali prisoners, and detainees at post-9/11 Guantánamo Bay; from Japanese Americans in US internment camps to conscientious objectors in the 1960s; from South Africans fighting apartheid to asylum seekers in Australia and Papua New Guinea, Shah shows the importance of context for each case and the interventions the protesters faced. The power that hunger striking unleashes is volatile, unmooring all previous resolves, certainties, and structures and forcing supporters and opponents alike to respond in new ways. It can upend prison regimens, medical ethics, power hierarchies, governments, and assumptions about gender, race, and the body's endurance. This book takes hunger strikers seriously as decision-makers in desperate situations, often bound to disagree or fail, and captures the continued frustration of authorities when confronted by prisoners willing to die for their positions. Above all, Refusal to Eat revolves around a core of moral, practical, and political questions that hunger strikers raise, investigating what it takes to resist and oppose state power.

Mineral Policies provides a record of an art residency organized by ZETA Center for Contemporary Art in the mining region of Bulqiza in northeastern Albania, where four artists and activists from Albania, Blerta Hoçia, Diana Malaj, Pleurad Xhafa, and Ergin Zaloshnja, created a collective body of works in close proximity with the local miners, while still maintaining their own discrete sphere of action. This residency followed by a public exhibition, Each Strike Leads to the Next, featuring video works produced during the residency as well as a series of object, curated by Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei, director of the Department of Eagles in Tirana.This publication includes documentation of the residency and the exhibition, as well the record of a public discussion between curator Van Gerven Oei, former Minister of Finance Arben Malaj, mining engineer Genc Myftiu, and mining worker Bardhul Alla, moderated by cultural journalist Elsa Demo and an interview of cultural theorist Jonida Gashi and Van Gerven Oei with the artists.Mineral Policies documents an important attempt of present-day Albanian artists to reflect on and align themselves with workers and labor activities within a political climate in which neoliberal extractivism and mafia-controlled local and national government have seriously compromised modes of solidarity and survival.

En 1938, lors des grandes grèves chez Citroën, le photographe Willy Ronis réalise un reportage pour le magazine Regards dans l'usine Javel à Paris. Il prend en photo Rose Zehner, militante et ouvrière, alors qu'elle harangue une foule de camarades. Mécontent de la qualité de la photographie, il ne la confie pas à la rédaction du journal et l'oublie. Ce n'est qu'en 1980 que Willy Ronis, parcourant ses archives, retrouve ce cliché. L'année suivante, L'Humanité le publie, il se met alors à circuler dans la presse et arrive sous les yeux de la cousine de Rose Zehner. Celle-ci entre en relation avec le photographe, tandis que le grand public découvre l'image qui va bientôt faire de Rose une figure de la lutte ouvrière, quarante ans après. Des grandes grèves de 1938 à la naissance d'une figure iconique en 1980, de Willy Ronis à Rose Zehner, Tangui Perron raconte l'histoire singulière de cette célèbre photographie longtemps oubliée. Accompagnée dans cet ouvrage d'une vingtaine d'autres clichés de Willy Ronis, la photo de Rose Zehner est le point dont part l'auteur pour reconstituer un contexte politique, social et culturel, et retracer les destins de deux militants, qui, chacun à leur manière, ont écrit un morceau de notre histoire.

Unions, Strikes, Shaw: 'The Capitalism of the Proletariat' is the first book to treat Bernard Shaw-socialist, dramatist, public speaker and union member-in relation to unions and strikes. For over half a century he urged workers to join unions, which he called, paradoxically, "the Capitalism of the Proletariat," because as capitalists try to get as much labor as possible from workers while paying them as little as possible, unions try to gain as high wages as possible from employers while working as little as possible. He opposed general strikes as destined to fail, since owners can hold out longer than workers, whose unions have less money to support them during strikes. This book offers background on major strikes in and before Shaw's time -including the Colorado Coalfield War and the Dublin Lockout, both in 1913-before analyzing the causes, day-by-day events and consequences of Britain's 1926 General Strike. It begins and ends with examinations of their and Shaw's relevance to actions on unions and strikes in our own time. Bernard F. Dukore is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Theatre Arts and Humanities, Virginia Tech, USA. His books on theatre and film include Bernard Shaw and the Censors: Fights and Failures, Stage and Screen (2020) and Crimes and Punishments and Bernard Shaw (2017). "An excellent book to put on the Bernard Shaw shelf that will serve a wider audience as well. Bernard F. Dukore's study is enlightening as it engages with recent scholarship to support questioning and provide answers that are fuller and better developed in specific contexts. It is well written and is high on my list of the most convincingly developed studies in this field. It fills an empty space in Shaw scholarship, and there's no need for, or likelihood that, another book would try to contest it." - Richard F. Dietrich, Professor Emeritus, University of South Florida, USA "Unions, Strikes, Shaw surveys general strikes, including the 1913 Dublin Lockout and 1926 British General Strike, and nationalization in Major Barbara and On the Rocks. Using Bernard Shaw's writings and speeches, and the words and actions of union organizers and members, government officials, and the public, this lively account illustrates how "unions, strikes and efforts by those in power to break them are as much a part of our lives as they were of Shaw's." Bernard F. Dukore has written extensively and perceptively on Shaw as social reformer, exploring crimes and punishments, censorship, and race. This thoroughly researched monograph is another valuable perspective on Shaw." - - Michel Pharand, retired, freelance copyeditor and former general editor of SHAW: The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies "In Unions, Strikes, Shaw, Bernard F. Dukore uses vivid examples of workers struggling to exert collective power during the first "Gilded Age" to demand the reader to consider quintessentially Shavian questions that remain startlingly relevant: What is the relationship between human labor and the economic and moral organization of society? Are unions a function of capitalism, or a mechanism for radical change? Under what conditions can collective worker power overcome the entrenched power of capital? Dukore's discussion of Shaw's interest in Marxism and Fabianism, as well as his insightful examination of the debate over these questions in Shaw's speeches, treatises, and plays - especially Major Barbara and On the Rocks -illuminate Shaw's thinking and invite us to sharpen our own." - Pam Egan, Director, Labor Management Partnerships Program, UC Berkeley Labor Center, USA .
