New critical Approaches on Communists and Communism in Belgium.

On October 22, CegeSoma/State Archives, in collaboration with CArCoB/Dacob and MoSa 1800-2000 (KU Leuven), is pleased to invite you to participate in an international workshop on the theme 'New critical Approaches on Communists and Communism in Belgium.'

It's no coincidence that this Research Workshop takes its name from a collection of essays by José Gotovitch (1940-2024). Former director of CegeSoma, professor at ULB and linchpin of the Centre d'Histoire et de Sociologie des Gauches and CArCoB, José Gotovitch embodied like no other the intersecting history of the Second World War and the Cold War. Just over a year after his death, we would like to explore new avenues of research, focusing on innovative methodologies and sources that were recently made available.
Although the focus is on the history of communism in Belgium, the aim is also to consider it as an intrinsically transnational phenomenon.

-> The program and further information on how to register will be announced soon.
