The memory of the international 1968 refers to a mosaic of sources related not only to national and territorial peculiarities, but also to the different structure and duration of each social movement that was launched in that year. The contribution that IALHI member institutes can provide to recreate the general framework is therefore of great importance and allows, through the comparison of the preserved documentation, to offer a broad overview of the available sources in order to find the questions, the instances, the desires of a generation that suddenly found itself at the centre of history and that tried to deeply change not only politics and society, but also languages and collective behaviours.
The discussion will then be focused on eight keywords (freedom, individual, movement, power, collective, youth, society, utopia), introduced by the round table that closes the morning of Friday, September 14th. These eight open and horizontal keywords are not meant to limit the discussion to predefined disciplinary areas or to pre-set interpretations but, on the contrary, the goal is to promote contaminations and exchanges between those who preserve heritage and those who question it. The debate will then be split up in eight thematic tables: a curator and a researcher will be jointly responsible of each table, while a rapporteur will be charged of drafting a summary sheet to sum up the discussion outcomes that will be shared by IALHI.
The conference The Sources of ‘68 is organized by IALHI-International Association of Labour History Institutions. Hosted in Milano, Italy by Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli.
The aim is fostering the discussion not only on well-known thematic paths, but also to propose new research directions. Based on these reports, curators and researchers are also able to point out possible connections with the present and to suggest lines of interpretation for the future.
The proposals (500 words), along with a brief professional profile (150 words), must be submitted to ialhi2018@ fondazionefeltrinelli.it by July 21, 2018.
IALHI brings together more than hundred archives, libraries and research centers in the field of social and labour history from all over the world. The network organizes an annual conference for its members where expertise on cases and practices is exchanged. IALHI also hosts the Social History Portal (http://www. socialhistoryportal.org), which contains more than two million records of its members’ catalogues and organizes a widely read News Service.
