Abstract

Português English Français Español

This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

Presentation

This dossier seeks to reflect on associationism through the articulation of historiographical, archival and memory studies perspectives. It aims to analyse the associative phenomenon in its multiple configurations and social functions, with particular emphasis on transnational processes of circulation of models, ideas and practices. It also seeks to highlight the archives of associations and the challenges related to their preservation, organisation and accessibility, as well as the dynamics involved in the construction of collective memory around associationism.

THEMATIC GUIDELINES

This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

Without claiming to be exhaustive, the following thematic axes are proposed :

  • Roots and emergence of modern associationism : pre-liberal legacies and adaptation to liberalism
  • Typological diversity and social functions of associationism
  • Associationism and the massification of political participation
  • Associationism under authoritarian and totalitarian regimes : resistance, counterculture and community resilience
  • Associationism in revolutionary processes and democratic transitions
  • Memory, heritage and archives of associationism
  • Comparative and transnational perspectives on associationism
