[CAAS] Japanese Industrial Workers in the Twentieth Century: The Emblematic Case of Mining
|
|
|
|
|
|
This course is designed to show how the micro-history of a particular industrial activity and labor community, mining, can be a fruitful method to put in light key dimensions of the history of the industrial worker through 20th century Japan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To analyse Japanese worker history in the twentieth century through the mutations of mining labor, the seminar will use different type of materials: Archives, novels, photos, pictorial illustrations, movies, fieldwork… It will also reflect on how a great variety of sources can be used by labour historians and how this variety of sources forces historians to reflect on the differences between history as a social science and history as identity.
