Interest in the history of the workplace is on the rise. Recent
work in this area has combined traditional methods and theories of
social history with new approaches and new questions. It
constitutes a 'topical contact zone', a particularly dynamic field
of research at the junction of social history, history of
occupational health and safety, history of technology and the
industrial environment. This book focuses on the new approaches in
this important and growing area and their possible range of
influence. These new attempts to rewrite a history of the workplace
are multiple - and in some cases disparate - but share many key
characteristics. They are turning away from the assumption that
class and class conflict is the prime mover in social history,
abandoning the traditional binomial workers vs. entrepreneurs
perspective which had long sustained the historical perspective on
labour. Moreover, as this collections outlines, these new attempts
concentrate on the analysis of complex social networks of actors
that defined and configured industrial workplaces, suggesting a
broadening of possible social actors. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the European Review of History.
