Women’s Europeanist networks and the gendering of EEC labour policies during the long 1960s (1957–74)

International audienceHistorians and political scientists have long traced the introduction of a reflection on the gendered impact of European public policies back to the mid-1970s. This was linked in particular to the attempt to reduce inequalities between men and women at work, and to the adoption of European legislation in this area, based on directives designed to ensure the application of Article 119 of the Treaty of Rome. This legal approach provides little explanation of the reasons, actors and modalities for putting gender issues on the agenda of the European Economic Communities (EEC). Based mostly on the archives of women’s associations linked to the European Movement, and secondarily on the holdings of several European institutions (Commission, Parliament, Council, Economic and Social Committee), this article offers an original top-down and bottom-up analysis of the process of gendering EEC policies between 1957 and 1974. It contributes to the analysis of the economisation of the EEC social policies and shows that, for women Europeanist activists of the 1960s, gender equality could not be reduced to the issue of wages. Gendering European policies neither represented a linear process of framing of social policies under the economic goals of the EEC, nor was it an insignificant tool in the affirmation of the European institutions vis-à-vis the Member States. Eventually, studying the agency of women’s associations in the inclusion of gender in EEC labour policies allows the article to shed new light on the citizen impulses in the European integration process, from the 1960s onwards

American Literature and Therapeutic Cultures

International audienceThis volume investigates the myriad interactions between American literature and psychological discourses in the United States, ranging from self-help to alternative health practices, and from psychotherapeutic interventions to cognitive behaviorism. Tracing these interactions between the modernist period and the present day, it seeks to shed new light on the development and conceptualization of therapeutic culture during a century in which therapeutics have shuttled rapidly between clinical and cultural practice. In analysing different framings of therapeutic culture, the volume brings together a cross-generational group of scholars from France, the UK and US to discuss writers as varied as William Carlos Williams, Lionel Trilling, Sylvia Plath, Colson Whitehead, Daniel Suarez and Ottessa Moshfegh. In doing so, the collection moves beyond traditionally privileged relationships between literature and psychoanalysis to embrace the much broader engagement of American literature with therapeutic models and trajectories. At stake is not only the historical linkages of modern and contemporary literature to theories, practices and institutions of psychology, but the increasingly prevalent neoliberal vision of literary texts as a restorative tool for the self

“Thorns in the sides of hundreds of Protestant husbands” : The emigration of Irish Female Orphans to the Australian Colonies and the Earl Grey Scheme controversy (1848-1850)

International audienceBetween 1848 and 1850, over 4,000 female orphans were sent from Irish workhouses to New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land as part of a scheme devised by Earl Grey, the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in John Russell's Whig government. This emigration programme, conceived both as a solution to alleviate the consequences of the Irish famine and as a means to address the gender imbalance and the labour shortage in these colonies, had to be abandoned after only two years due to the political outcry it caused. From the landing of the first ship in Sydney in June 1848, the orphans became the target of violent attacks in the colonial press, while Earl Grey was accused by the Presbyterian minister and member of the New South Wales Legislative Council John Dunmore Lang of plotting to replace “Protestantism with ‘Romanism’” in the Australian colonies. This paper seeks to assess the importance of the closely intertwined anti-Catholicism and anti-Irish prejudice behind the various reactions, and show how the controversy can only be understood as part of the current dispute over transportation between London and the colonies, of which the young women became, to a large extent, the collateral victims
