CALL FOR PAPERS
PERSEU # 10
“Workers organizations: from the resistance
societies to the contemporary syndicalism”
São Paulo, June 2013.
General information
Although the so called “globalization” has produced a certain cooling in the
publication of works about the history of the left wing, the academic and non-academic
production continues intense in this area.
In the university sphere, at History and Social Sciences fields, there are solid
academic groups, from local and national character, producing and discussing about it,
including the production about the Brazilian “Workers’ party”, for which the
documentation of the Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s Center of the Perseu Abramo’s
Foundation has a lot contributed to.
However, if there is a production, we are forced to recognize that there is not a
proportional diffusion. One of the goals of PERSEU (that has reached its tenth edition) is
to contribute to fill this gap. This magazine intends to be the channel of diffusion of
researches and reflections about the left wing – especially the Brazilian one, but not
exclusively – treated by History and Social Sciences.
Therefore, PERSEU proposes the theme “Workers organizations: from the
resistance societies to the contemporary syndicalism” to its next Dossier. It will be
received articles that approach these themes, as well as other texts that talk about distinct
subjects from what is proposed to the Dossier and that suit the editorial profile of the
magazine and thus can compose the Articles section.
Calling articles
The collaborations are composed of unpublished articles from invited authors,
beyond unpublished texts sent spontaneously in the conditions and deadlines established
