Towards Global Communisms? The World Federation of Trade Unions and Labour Internationalism
This introduction reconceptualizes the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) as a pivotal arena of Cold War labour internationalism by narrating its history through the experiences of actors outside the traditional metropolitan core. It offers the first systematic synthesis of a dispersed body of scholarship on the WFTU, integrating work on communist internationalism, decolonization, gender, and trade union education into a coherent analytical …
Decolonizing Labour Internationalism
This article examines how the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) functioned as a contested arena where divergent projects of labour internationalism and decolonization intersected in the mid-twentieth century, with a focus on the Indian communist trade union leader Shripad Amrit Dange (1899–1991). Drawing on the concept of subaltern internationalism, it analyses how Dange, as WFTU vice-president and executive committee member, sought to appr…

Creation of a learner corpus of L1-German learners of Romance languages • Error annotation and Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis (CIA) • Consequent use of DH methods with structured, relational data • Efficient approaches to and far-reaching options of data analysis and visualization • Presentation of implications, benefits and advantages of learner corpora for foreign language acquisition and teaching research
Grammatical gender in adolescent German learners of Spanish as a foreign language
The acquisition of grammatical gender is known to be a difficult and error-prone process in second and foreign language learning. The current study sheds new light on this topic by looking at elicited narrative production data as well as at data from an eyetracking-during- reading and a controlled gender production task. Participants were German-speaking adolescent learners of Spanish as a foreign language. Our results suggest that learners are o…
In chunks we trust . . . the problem of gender assignment in foreign language learning of French
Aims and Objectives: The study explores the challenges foreign language learners face in gender assignment and agreement within nominal, verbal, or adjective phrases, specifically in comparison to native speakers and bilingual children. It aims to identify where learners struggle with gender assignment and to what extent these difficulties can be explained by their multilingual background. Additionally, it investigates whether integrating models …

Cross-Movement Strike Actions
Beginning in the early 1970s, various communist groups decided to become active at the Bremer Vulkan shipyard. The article shows that they did not immediately go for confrontation to older trade union structures but were willing to change the movement from within. With the support of a wildcat strike at the shipyard in 1973, the New Left raised the question of alternatives. As a result, the Social Democratic works council chairman resigned becaus…

Rassedenken in der Sprach- und Textreflexion
Die Philologie hat im 19. Jahrhundert wesentlich zum europäischen Rassismus beigetragen, gegen diesen aber auch zentrale anthropologische Wissensbestände behauptet. Der Band zeigt diesen Prozess anhand von Grundlagentexten und erläuternden Kommentaren. Früher als biologische Rassenlehren lieferte philologisches Wissen grundlegende »Erkenntnisse« über Ursprünge, Wesen und Potenziale menschlicher Kollektive. Die Entdeckungen der Sprach- und Textref…
Vulnerability to Freshwater Changes in the Inuit Settlement Region of Nunatsiavut, Labrador
Drawing on vulnerability approaches from the climate change literature, this paper explores the vulnerability of residents of the community of Rigolet, Nunatsiavut, Labrador, to changes in freshwater. Our approach emphasizes local preferences and values. We analyze the results from 89 household interviews (88% response) and targeted interviews in Rigolet to consider the human experience of climate variability and change. Residents report that cha…
Values, climate change, and implications for adaptation
Individual understandings, perceptions, and engagement with climate change
Public understandings and perceptions of, as well as engagement with, climate change have garnered the interest of research and policy for almost three decades. A portion of this growing body of literature examines such perceptions in‐depth, using largely qualitative methodologies, such as personal interviews, limited sample size surveys, focus groups, and case studies. This area of research has been conducted on different continents, with indivi…
A values‐based approach to vulnerability and adaptation to climate change
Values play a significant role in climate change debates. To date, however, the use of the term values has been narrowly focused on monetary worth, relative worth, or fair return on exchanges. This article argues that another, broader interpretation of values, one concentrating on intrinsically desirable principles or qualities is needed to understand and respond to climate change. How to respond to climate change impacts depends importantly on w…
Heat Waves and Cold Spells
Heat waves and cold spells pose ongoing seasonal risks to the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals. Current attempts to address these risks in the UK are implemented through fuel-poverty strategies and heat-wave planning. This paper examines evidence from the UK on whether heat waves and cold spells are addressed differently by public policy in the UK given that risks are mediated by similar perceptions that shape behavioural responses…
Are there social limits to adaptation to climate change?
Social capital, individual responses to heat waves and climate change adaptation
Ecological citizenship and climate change
Ecological citizenship presents a normative account of how citizens should conduct their lives, reducing their environmental impact. Little research has characterised ecological citizenship in practice or in the context of climate change. Q methodology is applied to a case study in Canada to scrutinise how individuals respond to climate change. The results identify four factors – the communitarian, the systemist, the sceptic and the economist – t…
Adapting to Climate Change
Adapting to climate change is a critical problem facing humanity. This involves reconsidering our lifestyles, and is linked to our actions as individuals, societies and governments. This book presents top science and social science research on whether the world can adapt to climate change. Written by experts, both academics and practitioners, it examines the risks to ecosystems, demonstrating how values, culture and the constraining forces of gov…
