New Proposals is a journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry that is dedicated to the radical transformation of the contemporary world order. We see our role as providing a platform for research, commentary, and debate of the highest scholarly quality that contributes to the struggle to create a more just and humane world, in which the systematic and continuous exploitation, oppression, and fratricidal struggles that characterize the contemporary sociopolitical order no longer exist.

New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry Vol. 11, No. 1 (Summer 2020) Pp. 7-17 A Snapshot of Precarious Academic Work in Canada Deidre Rose University of Guelph Abstract: In much of the developed world, tendencies associated with neoliberalism, the “corporatization” of the university, and cuts to government funding have led to a growing reliance on contingent or “non-regular” faculty. The vast majority of these academic workers are in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Precariously employed, these non-regular faculty constitute a reserve of low-paid and marginalized academic workers, and an increase in the number of doctorates granted each year in Canada guarantees a continuous supply of highly exploitable workers. While many books, articles, and blog posts discuss this phenomenon in the United States, less information is available for Canada. Using data collected by the Canadian Union of Public Employees and other published literature, this paper will measure the extent of the reliance on precariously employed contract faculty across Canada and offer suggestions for further research on the plight of these workers in Canada.

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved By: Lloyd S. Kramer Jay M. Smith Donald M. Reid © 2015 Lindsay Ayling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsay Ayling: State Power, Popular Resistance, and Competing Nationalist Narratives in France, 1791-1871 (Under the direction of Lloyd S. Kramer) In this thesis, I analyze rhetoric surrounding three events in which violence erupted between the French authorities and the French “people”: the Champ de Mars massacre of 1791, the June Days revolt of 1848, and the Paris Commune of 1871. Studying newspapers, speeches, images, memoirs, and literature, I argue that in producing competing narratives surrounding these events, politicians and polemicists also shaped competing conceptions of the French nation. In order to justify a given position, they associated either “the people” or the military with French symbols, values, and ideals while presenting their opponents as the national enemy. With each subsequent civil struggle, they appropriated and altered previous narratives, thereby constructing evolving but still irreconcilable versions of the nation. I conclude that because nationalism fractures on ideological lines, it is impossible

Introduction “The tricolor republic now bears only one color, the color of the defeated, the color of blood.” 1 Karl Marx after the June Days uprising (Neue Rheinische Zeitung, 29 June 1848) As I am writing this opening paragraph, it is 160 years ago to the day that the French National Guard ended a bloody uprising among the Parisian workers. Sometimes labeled a ‘class war’2, the so-called ‘June Days’ uprising posited the urban working class against the Provisional Government of the French Second Republic. It shall become clear in the following chapters that this clash between the revolutionary regime and the masses which had been vital in its victory four months prior, ultimately represented the failure of that revolution, a revolution which made an end to the French monarchy, instated universal male suffrage for a short time and set off a wave of revolutions across the continent.

  • 1. the Tale of Marx
    JOBNAME: Magnusson PAGE: 1 SESS: 6 OUTPUT: Thu Jun 23 13:58:36 2016 1. The tale of Marx Karl Marx was the one who named the emergent economic system in the mid-nineteenth century Europe: capitalism. Adam Smith had emphasised the importance of free trade and global distribution of labour for the world he saw ahead. This imagery of the future of Smith was the present of Marx but it looked different than Smith had imagined. Karl Marx discerned a different key factor than Smith for the development of the industrial “system” after the industrial “revolution”: capital. He saw that investments of capital of a new kind produced not only fortunes but also social problems, and new forms of poverty. He theorised the social question, he recognised the global nature of capitalism, and he discerned the crisis-heavy nature of the new system and tried to explain it. Karl Marx deeply shaped the three most important responses to the tensions of capitalism: the revolutionary approach, the left reformist approach, and the top-down social conservative reform approach through concessions (Bismarck), in response to Marx, embraced as a way to avoid something worse. In December 1852, Karl Marx had been living the life of a political refugee in London for two years and felt miserable.1 Napoleon III had just ascended to his throne as emperor of France after the successful coup d’état the year before. Also, everywhere else in Europe the revolution of 1848 – it was alternatively named das tolle Jahr or the “Springtime of the Peoples” – had failed utterly.

  • French Romantic Socialism and Mormon Communalism in the Nineteenth Century
    Louis A. Bertrand’s Voyage from Icarianism to Mormonism: French Romantic Socialism and Mormon Communalism in the Nineteenth Century Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History Jonathan D. Sarna, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for Master’s Degree by Erik Freeman May 2013 Copyright by Erik Freeman © 2013 ABSTRACT Louis A. Bertrand’s Voyage from Icarianism to Mormonism: French Romantic Socialism and Mormon Communalism in the Nineteenth Century A thesis presented to the Department of History The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Erik Freeman In 1851, a prominent French Romantic Socialist journalist, Louis A. Bertrand, converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormonism) in Paris. His conversion from French Icarianism--a form of Romantic Socialism--to Mormonism did not modify his previous religious or social beliefs. In fact, he considered Mormonism as the ideal version of a Romantic Socialist sect. This thesis looks at similarities and differences between Romantic Socialism and Mormonism throughout the mid-nineteenth century focusing specifically on Bertrand’s story. Furthermore, writings by other Romantic Socialists and Mormons on issues of community, religion, economics and revolution reaffirmed that Mormons paralleled these French socialists. Ultimately, iii Bertrand’s story among Romantic Socialists in France and Mormons in America, suggests that American Mormonism throughout

  • Ask Most Casual Students of History When the Time of Colonialism Came to an End
    ABSTRACT Guiana and the Shadows of Empire: Colonial and Cultural Negotiations at the Edge of the World Joshua R. Hyles, M.A. Mentor: Keith A. Francis, Ph.D. Nowhere in the world can objective study of colonialism and its effects be more fruitful than in the Guianas, the region of three small states in northeastern South America. The purpose of this thesis is threefold. First, the history of these three Guianas, now known as Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname, is considered briefly, emphasizing their similarities and regional homogeny when compared to other areas. Second, the study considers the administrative policies of each of the country’s colonizers, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, over the period from settlement to independence. Last, the thesis concentrates on current political and cultural situations in each country, linking these developments to the policies of imperial administrators in the previous decades. By doing so, this thesis hopes to show how an area that should have developed as a single polity could become a region of three very distinct cultures through the altering effects of colonialism.

  • Rereading the 18Th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: the Phenomenon of Bonapartism As a Capitalist State Without Popular Representation
    New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry Vol. 11, No. 1 (Summer 2020) Pp. 34-47 Rereading The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: The Phenomenon of Bonapartism as a Capitalist State Without Popular Representation Spyros Sakellaropoulos Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT: This article examines the character of so-called Bonapartism through the development of the class struggle in the period between 1848 and 1851. The perspective adopted is that in contrast to what is stated in the classics (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Gramsci) of Marxism, Bonapartism is neither a form of politics imposed from the exterior against all social classes, nor is it a manifestation of the state’s autonomy vis à vis the bourgeoisie (Poulantzas). On the contrary, it is a characteristic form of the bourgeois state, which does not have parliamentary institutions among its constituent elements. On the basis of this argumentation, one can understand the current tendency of limited representative relations, which benefits state-controlled mechanisms that are independent of popular control KEYWORDS: state, Marx, capitalism, Bonapartism, class struggle, bourgeoisie Introduction he purpose of this article is to approach analysis capital. The reaction of these bourgeois factions in alli- Tof the nature of the State in capitalism through ance with the proletariat and the peasantry is what led an examination of the class struggle in France in the to the 1848 revolution.

Eighteenth Brumaire download “People make their own history, but they do not make it as they please.” NOTE ON SOURCE: This selection is from an essay by Marx, originally published in a German magazine in New York City in 1852. It was republished and retranslated widely, first in English in 1869 as The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. Engels undertook a later translation into English in 1885, which translation was published by Progress Publishers of Moscow in 1937. In addition to selections from the essay, this section begins with a short historical description of the social context about which Marx was writing. It is important to note that this essay was a very timely one, written almost simultaneously with a fast-changing political landscape. Introduction to the selection – historical overview On December 2, 1851, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the democratically elected president of France since the 1848 revolution and nephew to Napoleon Bonaparte, instituted a coup against his own increasingly oppositional government.

The new government set up National Workshops to provide employment for the unemployed. People flocked to Paris from all over France and by May the workshops were employing 100 000 workers. The workshops were unpopular with rural farmers, who had to pay for them through increased land taxes, and with many people in Paris, who feared more radicalism. In June the recently elected Constituent Assembly closed the workshops. This was very unpopular with the unemployed and the poor, who rose up in rebellion.

  • The Year 1848 in France. a Few Remarks at the 170Th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Constitution of the Second French Republic in 1848 Part Ii
    REVIEW OF COMPARATIVE LAW VOLUME XXXIII YEAR 2018 THE YEAR 1848 IN FRANCE. A FEW REMARKS AT THE 170TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE SECOND FRENCH REPUBLIC IN 1848 PART II Marcin Konarski* ABSTRACT The article is a continuation of the discussion undertaken on the occasion of the 170th anniversary of the Constitution of the Second French Republic. The author analyses the events that took place in France in the period between the shutdown of the national workshops in June 1848 and the adoption of the Constitution of the Second French Republic in November of the same year. A sig- nificant part of this article is the analysis of the provisions of the Constitution, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the institution of the President of the Republic, introduced for the first time to French constitutionalism. Key words: Spring of Nations, year 1848, June Days uprising, constitution, Pres- ident of the Republic, Louis-Napoléon I In the previous article I analysed the causes that led to the eruption of revolutionary events in Europe in 1848, and traced a number of them – mainly in France – paying particular attention to the scope of political and social reforms carried out between the outbreak of the February Revolu- tion and the shutdown of the so-called national workshops in June 1848. * Doctor of legal sciences – Assistant Professor at the Department of Administration, Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, Warsaw Management University. 59 The starting point for the present discussion is the moment when the Ex- ecutive Commission gave a kind of ultimatum to thousands of Parisian workers: “either die of hunger or start an attack”1, which of course refers to the shutdown of these miserable workplaces.
