On this day in 1936, East Londoners stopped Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts at Cable Street. This legacy would inspire generations of anti-racist activists in East London. @tajali1.bsky.social manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526177582/

Je suis fatigué d'entendre le discours "gentil·les lycéen·nes" et "méchant·es casseur·ses". Globalement je suis fatigué d'entendre "les casseurs" dès qu'il y a une forme de violence ou autre dans le cadre d'une mobilisation. La facilité de ce concept tend (voire vise) à dépolitiser toute action

La question dans le titre de l'article est tendancieuse: LBD, gazage et arrestations massives ne sont pas plus acceptables comme formes de "maintien de l'ordre" (j'appellerais plutôt ça de la violence d'état et de l'intimidation, mais bon...) sur des personnes majeures. Elles n'ont pas lieu d'être.

franceinfo.fr

Lycéens blessés au LBD, gazage, arrestations massives... Le maintien de l'ordre est-il adapté à des manifestants mineurs ?

Les accusations de violences policières se multiplient depuis le début du mouvement lycéen, même si des blessés sont aussi à déplorer du côté des forces de l'ordre. Avec 170 jeunes blessés, selon un d...

"Des interventions plus délicates" C'est si difficile que ça de ne pas brutaliser les manifestant·es? La police n'est en rien victime ici. Elle est responsable (voire coupable) tant qu'institution (et souvent les policièr·es en tant qu'individus).

Soutien aux lycéen·nes, étudiant·es et à tous·tes les manifestant·es qui subissent une répression d'autant plus forte qu'on les considère comme "dangereux·ses" (avec un fond raciste en plus d'une classique crainte de la jeunesse).

Les étudiants bloquent leurs lycées pour demander plus de professeurs. Le gouvernement répond par la répression et annonce la suppression de plus de 1.500 postes d'enseignants... Ce gouvernement crache à la figure de la jeunesse.

La venue du pape en France c'est quand même un bon moment de prendre conscience de l'islamophobie, les musulmans feraient même pas 10% de ce que les catholiques font actuellement dans l'espace public qu'on crierait au scandale. J'espère que tout le monde est à présent capable de s'en rendre compte.

Excellente illustration de ce que la précarité fait au temps arbitrable : les étudiants préfèrent faire 2h de queue pour manger pas cher, en sacrifiant 1h+ de travail en bibliothèque. Résultat, les étudiants moins pauvres peuvent bosser +, dans de meilleures conditions, et maximiser leurs chances.

This is a shocking unilateral move on the part of university management, who decided to simply... Ignore processes of collective bargaining (and therefore workers' rights to organise collectively as a union). I haven't heard of another UK university doing this before (but maybe there have been?)

Out now! 'Rogues, Rakes and Robbers: A True Crime History of Georgian Britain' by @drangelamuir.bsky.social is published today! Discover real accounts of historic crimes and catch a glimpse of Georgian societies and culture. Find a copy in your favourite local bookshop!

OUT NOW! With a raven sitting upon the !

Book cover which features Georgian illustrations of an overflowing tankard of ale, a man on a speeding horse aiming a gun, a tavern, a raven, and two people in a romantic clinch.

Exploring detailed accounts of historic crime is one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of a society and its culture decades and centuries later. Of course, stories of crime and deviance are intriguing in their own right; but through understanding the context in which they were committed, how they were made sense of, and how communities and officials responded to them, we can gain incredible insight into life at that time and place.

Uncover the tales of real-life murders, manslaughters, assaults and arson that took place in Georgian Wales and the borders, which together give us a window onto life for ordinary, common people – whose lives would otherwise be lost from the historical record.

From courtship rituals to the value of horses, Georgian attitudes to sex work and insanity, vulnerable adults and fraud, each chapter uses documents from Wales’s Court of Great Sessions to illuminate the past.

It's a pleasure to be back at the @iisg-amsterdam.bsky.social. This time I'm looking at issues of the Italian newspaper, "Il Libertario". I'm a huge fan of the masthead, both its typography and the Promethean torch inside of a book.

Preach. I'm starting to include the following disclaimer in my syllabi in the (perhaps vain) hope that students will remember that the process of learning is what matters...

Excerpt from a syllabus that reads: For this class to be useful and fruitful to you, you must engage with the readings and documents, even when you are uncertain of what they mean. The process of asking yourselves questions, and indeed of sometimes struggling to understand – which is entirely bypassed by the use of AI – is essential to achieving the course objectives.

Happy birthday to Mary Shelley, born on this day in 1797 📕 At 18, she began writing Frankenstein, helping to invent a whole genre and giving us one of literature’s most iconic monsters. Not a bad legacy.

Black and white etching portrait of Mary Shelley. Her portrait is set in an oval, she is wearing a black off the shoulder gown. Her hair appears to be a dark brown and falls around her jawbone.
