Boom - Crisis - Heritage, these terms aptly outline the history of
global coal mining after 1945. The essays collected in this volume
explore this history with different emphases and questions. The
range of topics also reflects this broad approach. The first
section contains contributions on political, social and economic
history. They address the European energy system in the globalised
world of the 20th and 21st centuries as well as specific social
policies in mining regions. The second section then focuses on the
medialisation of mining and its legacies, also paying attention to
the environmental history of mining. The anthology, which goes back
to a conference of the same name at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum
Bochum, thus offers a multi-faceted insight into the research field
of modern mining history.
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.
