Call for Papers

The Center of Utopian Studies-U-TOPOS of the Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem Unicamp/ Brazil invites researchers on Humanities to present paper proposals to its International Congress Labor and Utopia in Nineteenth Century : agents and experiences to be held from the 22nd to 24th October 2013 at Campinas (SP), Brazil.

This International Congress focuses on utopian expectations understood from the world of labor, of its agents and its actions. We encourage approaches of comparative or connected histories between East and West, regional/national/global scales, as well as studies on free and unfree labor.

Agents and their histories - perspectives of class, gender and ethnicity, free and unfree labor, biographies, life-histories of workers, activists, intellectuals.

Diversity of experiences - subjects such as Self-help and other forms of associations, societarian colonies, educational projects, propaganda and social press, religion and science, social literature, theater, culture.
