By establishing a link between the Spanish case and the main Western European countries, this conference aims at deepening into the genealogy of images and processes stemming from the May 68 demonstrations (and similar events) which brought together students and workers.

Youth and Work World in Postwar Europe (1945-1968)

The conference will have an on-site format and will be broadcast via streaming. Accordingly, both invited speakers and participants may intervene in person and/or online, depending on the public health situation and restrictions on mobility existing at the time of the event. Thus, people registered will be able to follow the sessions through Google Meet.

The conference will be structured around five panels chaired by a coordinator who will present the guest speaker (one per roundtable), introduce the contributors, who will have around 10 minutes to expose their works, and conduct the subsequent debate. The list of speakers will be made public in January 2021 as well as the detailed program of the congress.

List of panels:

Panel 1: Youth during the crisis of fascism: fascist radicalism, antifascism, afascism

Panel 2: Post-war Catholicism and cultural change. Christian democracy, theological renewal, worker priests

Panel 3: The Spanish case within the European framework: the Labour University Service (SUT) and the European workers’ initiatives

Panel 4: The post-war European youth transformation: from social order to antiauthoritarism. On the way to 68.

Panel 5: The emergence of women in Spanish and European youth mobilization, a new cross-cutting factor
