The measures of work in imperial situations and their legacies - Campus Condorcet - Colloquium (hybrid) 21 07 2022 and 22 07 2022

(Calenda announcement 986533)

Several papers and a round table will be devoted to the different forms and measurement of work on the scale of empires, focusing on colonial empires, but without excluding other configurations. This colloquium will bring together researchers of varying degrees of sophistication from different continents to collectively examine the different ways of evaluating, remunerating and accounting for productive activity, as well as the ways of mobilizing, counting, managing and classifying workers. The legacies of colonial situations and domination will be taken into account in order to approach the subject in the long term, from the 18th to the 21st century.
