Abstract:

Abstract This article focuses on the complex relationship of socialism, working-class culture, and fin de siècle decadence in early twentieth-century Finnish working-class culture. The hegemonic ideology of the labor movement praised self-discipline and conservative literary ideals, but many working-class people were inspired by the radical writings of August Strindberg and Oscar Wilde. Furthermore, proletarian decadence was related to the pro- and anti-feminist debates, the ideas of free love, and to the construction of a new working-class masculinity. These ideals were the subject of lively

Abstract:

How did Rosa Luxemburg, in herThe Accumulation of Capitaland other writings, analyse the development of the working class and other subordinate classes under capitalism, and how did she view the relationship between these classes and those living in ‘natural economic societies’? Following primary sources closely, the present essay reconstructs and evaluates Luxemburg’s class analysis of global society. It is shown that Luxemburg pioneered a truly global concept of solidarity from below, including the most oppressed – women and colonised peoples.

Abstract:

This article aims to illuminate the links between culture and class in the post-socialist years in the Czech Republic. To this end, it considers the reception of two music acts—the country folk duo Bratři Nedvědi in the 1990s and the “nationalist rock” band Ortel in the 2010s—and discusses the labeling of their fans based on their social class profiles. My analysis draws on mainstream Czech media coverage of these acts, materials reflecting fans’ perspectives, and broader scholarly debates about the links between music consumption and social class. One similarity between these bands lay in the

This article challenges historians’ representations of working-class Jewish attitudes to emancipation in the early nineteenth century through a reading of Elizabeth Polack’s 1835 melodrama, Esther, the Royal Jewess, or the Death of Haman! Low expectations of working-class political engagement and the working-class genre of the melodrama are challenged by the astute political content of Polack’s play. Its historical and political value is revealed by placing the play within the tradition of the purimspiel, the Jewish genre that traditionally explores Jewish life under hostile government. Readin

Abstract:

Over recent decades, scholars from a range of disciplines have used life writings from below to explore the lives of people outside elites and the secure middle class. Such texts offer information otherwise unavailable about the decisions people made, and the terms in which they understood or presented their experiences. Three recent monographs about life writings from below in Britain, although dealing with very different genres – pauper letters, working women's autobiographies, military memoirs – across two hundred and fifty years, demonstrate what can be gained from the comparative reading

She describes how in different writings of the time bourgeois women were depicted as incapable to contribute to the desired progress independently, i.e. other than serving men.

This article critically examines the received wisdom on the value of labor power that posits the workers’ material reproduction and the class struggle as two independent factors that determine the bundle of wage-goods consumed by the working class.

Furthermore, it argues that it rests on a problematic separation of the actual immanent unity between materiality and social form in the capitalist mode of production.

What did the public think about public health reform in mid-Victorian Britain? Historians have had a lot to say about the sanitary mentality and actions of the middle class, yet have been strangely silent about the ideas and behaviour of the working class, who were the great majority of the public and the group whose health was mainly in question. Perhaps there is nothing to say. The working class were commonly referred to as ‘the Great Unwashed’, purportedly ignorant and indifferent on matters of personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and hence health.

She saw in the syndicalists, socialists, and communists no more accurate knowledge of society than in the conservatives or fascists.

Abstract:

This article argues, contrary to the analyses of many scholars, that the political thought of the nineteenth-century Swiss cultural historian Jacob Burckhardt is neither frivolous nor irrelevant. More specifically, this essay combines biographical information about Burckhardt with an analysis of his major writings in order to challenge the notion that Burckhardt was simply a cultural historian and not a serious political thinker. The central teaching of Burckhardt's life is that the intellectual in mass society can best serve the community, not by direct political participation, but by working

Abstract:

The Victorian Era of writings of works such as Charles Dickens Hard Times used the social and environmental setting by which the characters live in; it is created by a philosophy that adds fuel to sustain the advancement of industrialization. The philosophy mirrors the mechanical characteristics of industrialization and how they are expressed is of great importance to the mechanical perceptions, such as objective utilitarianism. The mechanization that is found in the lives of the characters has an evil presence of depriving them of human dignity by living a mechanical lifestyle. It was the mec

Abstract:

The pattern of Searle’s later teaching career and continuing development of a child-centred, working-class pedagogy, or critical literacy, proved even more controversial than at Sir John Cass school. He was appointed to the head-ship of the 80 per cent non-white Earl Marshal comprehensive in Sheffield in 1990, a year before the first Gulf war. But his refusal to exclude pupils, his determined attempt to involve the local communities, Yemeni, Pakistani, white working-class, etc., in the life of the school and his encouragement of pupils to confront the issues raised by the war — which affected

Abstract:

This article has two dimensions: on one hand, it is part of the discipline of labour history, as in the text I highlight the experience of modernisation among workers in the Northwest Region of the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the 1905 revolution, one of the most important political events of that time, as far as this can be discerned in autobiographical writings. But because the majority of the sources I use which allow us to talk about the experiences and reflections of the working class in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were written and collected in

Abstract:

The speaker of this ballad(circa 1828) laments the fact that, though he was born of “honest parents,” he became “a roving blade” and has been convicted of an unspecified crime for which he has been sentenced to “Botany Bay,” a popular name for Australia. Although he addresses his audience as “young men of learning,” the rest of the ballad implies that he, as is conventional in the broadside form, is a working-class apprentice gone astray. Like this fictional speaker, approximately 160,000 men and women convicted of crimes ranging from poaching hares to murder – but mostly theft – were transpor

Abstract:

From 1971 to 1976, Chris Searle was at the centre of a number of events in the East End of London that, nearly four decades on, continue to resonate. This article uses a combination of reminiscence, reflection, contemporaneous and retrospective accounts, and engagement with the writings of Searle himself, to explore the meanings of the ‘Stepney Words insurrection’ and the creation of the Basement Writers. The article is informed by ideas of critical literacy, including Paulo Freire’s ‘pedagogy of the oppressed’, and argues that community publishing can be seen as an expression of working-class

Abstract:

Bhagat Singh, one of the most iconic revolutionaries in Indian history, was not merely a freedom fighter but also a profound thinker whose ideological foundations were deeply rooted in Marxist philosophy. His writings in English, though relatively limited in volume, provide an insightful reflection of his intellectual engagements with class struggle, historical materialism, and the necessity of revolution. Unlike many of his contemporaries who were driven solely by nationalist fervor, Singh critically examined the economic and social structures that perpetuated oppression, advocating for a rad

Abstract Since its inception in 2002, the Beijing New Worker Band has become a representative art group formed by and dedicated to migrant workers. Changing its name three times in twenty years, the band has demonstrated a strong capacity to adapt to uncertain political tides, subsisting in the exploration and expression of art and culture with a new working-class consciousness in postsocialist China. The status of the group has been bolstered by an array of artistic output, such as theater productions, literary writings, and Spring Festival galas. Although overshadowed by some of the better p

Abstract:

'The VILE MULTITUDE' - MARX AND THE PARIS COMMUNEThe entire purpose of Marx’s work is to enable the working class to act as a revolutionary subject, i.e. as its own liberator, destined to overthrow capitalism. However, this paper demonstrates that this view, which has political validity, is supplemented by another more nuanced and more theoretically interesting understanding of revolutionary upheavals in Marx’s work. This more subtle approach is found particularly in his political analyses, and the paper specifically interprets his writings on the Paris Commune in this light. It is argued that

POLITICAL ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY IN THE WRITINGS OF CLASSICAL LIBERALS – JOHN STUART MILL AND HERBERT SPENCER The main aim of this paper is showing mainstream economic theory as an important factor shaping the evolution of political liberalism. The role of the economic theory in this process seems underestimated. The paper analyses the writings of two classical liberal thinkers – John Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer, the former a pioneer of egalitarian liberalism, the latter of laissez-faire liberalism. Both Mill and Spencer were the followers of the classical political economy accepting the cl
