The work of memory: embodiment, materiality and home in Jeanne Bouvier’s autobiographical writings

In this paper I follow trails in the memory of work by reading the books and papers of Jeanne Bouvier, a French seamstress, ardent trade-unionist and passionate writer, who left a rich body of labour literature including four published historical studies, as well as the memoirs of her life, work and struggles. Work, action and creativity are three interrelated planes on which Bouvier situates herself, while memory and imagination are interwoven in the way she seeks to understand herself in the world with others. What emerges as a particularly striking theme from Bouvier’s papers is a material matrix of mnemonic and imaginary practices, wherein bodies, places and objects are entangled in the narrative constitution of the self of the woman worker/writer.

(2012) "Defining phytoplankton class boundaries in Portuguese transitional waters: an evaluation of the ecological quality status according to the Water Framework Directive" [Ecological Indicators 19, 5-14]

We write to comment on the recently published paper “Defining phytoplankton class boundaries in Portuguese transitional waters: an evaluation of the ecological quality status according to the Water Framework Directive” (Brito et al., 2012). This paper presents an integrated methodology to analyse the ecological quality status of several Portuguese transitional waters, using phytoplanktonrelated metrics. One of the systems analysed, the Guadiana estuary in southern Portugal, is considered the most problematic estuary, with its upstream water bodies classified as Poor in terms of ecological status. We strongly disagree with this conclusion and we would like to raise awareness to some methodological constraints that, in our opinion, are the basis of such deceptive conclusions and should therefore not be neglected when using phytoplankton to assess the ecological status of natural waters.

Arbeitszeit und Sonntagsruhe : Stellungnahmen zur Sonntagsarbeit als Beitrag kirchlicher Sozialkritik im 19. Jahrhundert

Mit der Forderung nach einem arbeitsfreien Sonntag haben die Kirchen im 19. Jahrhundert in die Diskussion um die Wochenarbeitszeit eingegriffen. Auch wenn das Thema der menschlichen Arbeit in der evangelischen Theologie des vergangenen Jahrhunderts nicht in dem Maße bedacht worden ist, wie es die neuzeitliche Veränderung im Verständnis der Arbeit und die Industrialisierung erfordert hätten, so lässt sie die bekannte Formel vom "Versagen der Kirche gegenüber der sozialen Frage" nicht aufrechterhalten. Die vorliegende Untersuchung fragt nach der Begründung der Sonntagsruhe für die Arbeit: Kann Sonntagsruhe im Gegensatz zu Freizeit als ein Begriff bestimmt werden, der in keinem komplementären Verhältnis zur Arbeit steht, nicht im Sinn eines Primats der Ruhe, sondern in dem Sinn, daß der Sonntag Kontrapost ist gegen den Primat der Arbeit in der Gegenwart?

Der Kampf um den freien Sonntag im 19. Jahrhundert

Im Aufsatz geht es um das kirchliche und politische Engagement im Kampf gegen die Sonntagsarbeit im 19. Jahrhundert.
