Full textAbstract:
The following research addresses the process of design innovation and diffusion within the British cotton industry between 1945-1959. This study broadly concerns the relationship between art and design and its influence on the design process in relation to the British cotton industry. It covers the period from the 1940's when, the first generation of American Abstract Expressionists came of age, until the second half of the 1950's, when patterns showing stylistic and technical elements derived from this group of artists started to be produced by British companies. The analysis of this specific relationship provides this study with both a chronological framework and the opportunity to examine the relationship between the development of artistic movements and their reception, or lack of it, within commercially orientated bodies. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a study of the design process and the influence of market structures upon design strategies adopted by individual textile companies. This work is based on the study of the British cotton industry, the debate relating to art and design education during the period under examination. It includes the detailed comparative examination of the records of three British textile firms Heal's Wholesale & Export Ltd., the SUbsidiary of Heal's & Son founded in 1941, which became Heal Fabrics in 1958; Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd., which added the production of textiles to its wallpaper business after the First Wortd War, and Armitage & Rigby Ltd., a Lancashire based company of cotton spinners and manufacturers, established in 1841. The study of American Abstract Expressionism, its theoretical stand, and the critical and art historical writing on this artistic movement are examined to provide a basis upon which to compare the artwork with the 'contemporary' designs produced during the 1950's. Finally, the examination of a number of 'contemporary' designs provides evidence of the process and implications of the commercial adoption of Abstract Expressionism. This study attempts to demonstrate the relevance of material factors in the adoption of design policies by British textile firms. In particular, it suggests that the structure of the British textile industry, specifically the merchantketailer role in commissioning designs, was determinant in the taking up of the Abstract Expressionist style in textile design.

Full textAbstract:
"A Common Thread" is an analysis of the relocation of the New England textile industry to the states of the Piedmont South between 1880 and 1934. Competition from textile mills operating in the South became a serious challenge for New England textile manufacturers as early as the 1890s. as they watched their profits turn into losses while output and sales of southern goods continued apace during the 1893 depression, owners of northern textile corporations felt unfairly constrained by state legislation that established age and hours standards for mill employees, and by actual and potential labor militancy in their mills. Several New England textile manufacturers, therefore, opened southern subsidiary factories as a way to effectively meet southern competition. In 1896, the Dwight Manufacturing Company of Chicopee, Massachusetts was one of the first New England cotton textile companies to open a southern branch mill. Within a thirty-year period, many of the largest textile corporations in Massachusetts would move part or all of their operations to North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama where textile production took place in mills that cost less to fuel, was done by workers whose wages were lower than those paid in New England, and occurred in a region where textile unions and state regulations were virtually non-existent.;Through the lens of the Dwight Manufacturing Company, "A Common Thread" examines this process of regional transfer within the U.S. textile industry. The specific goals of the study are to explain (1) why and how Massachusetts cotton manufacturing companies pursued relocation to the South as a key strategy for economic survival, (2) why and how southern states attracted northern textile capital, and (3) how textile mill owners, the state, manufacturers' associations, labor unions, and reform groups shaped the North-to-South movement of cotton mill money, machinery, and jobs. "A Common Thread" provides a historic reference point for and helps inform on-going discussions and debates about capital mobility and corporate responsibility as the industrial relocation from region to region that occurred during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries continues from nation to nation within the context of economic globalization.

Full textAbstract:
Texas textile mills comprise an untold part of the modern South. The bulk of Texas mills were built between 1890 and 1925, a compressed period of expansion in contrast to the longer developmental pattern of mills in the rest of the United States. This compression meant that Texas mill owners benefited from knowledge gained from mill expansion elsewhere, and owners ran their mills along the same lines as the dominant southeastern model. Owners veered from the established pattern when conditions warranted. This case study focuses on three mills in Texas that operated both independently and as a corporation for a total of sixty years. One mill in McKinney dominated the economy of a small town and serves as the primary focus of this paper. A second mill in Waco served a diversified economy in the center of the state; and the third mill, built in Dallas was concentrated in a major city in a highly competitive job market. All three of these mills will illuminate the single greatest difference between Texas mills and mills elsewhere, the composition of the labor force. Women did not dominate the mill labor force in Texas nor did children, except in limited cases, make-up a large portion of the workers. Today mill studies of southern mills have found only scattered textile factories with a preponderance of male employees, but in Texas this was the norm. This study demonstrates the unique features of McKinney's textile mill and its similarities to other mills in Texas and in the southeast.

Jennings, Sheila Ann. "A ravelled skein : the silk industry in south west Hertfordshire 1790-1890." Thesis, University of Hertfordshire, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/2299/14044.
Full textAbstract:
Cotton and wool have long dominated studies of the English textile industries, relegating silk manufacture to no more than a minor role in the British economy. Regional studies have likewise tended to concentrate upon areas dominated by a single feature or single industry. This thesis aims to address the economic and social impact of a silk industry established in the predominantly rural area of South West Hertfordshire. Here the indigenous population had other opportunities for employment, agricultural labour of various kinds forming the greatest occupational group. The straw plait absorbed female and child labour in the districts of Berkhamsted and St Albans, in direct competition to the silk mills, while the rag factories supplying the paper industry offered competition to the silk mills of Watford and Rickmansworth. Any industry dependent upon imports is especially vulnerable to external pressure, and an overview of the national situation regarding the silk industry in England, and of the particular problems besetting manufacturers during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, is therefore essential to an understanding of the situation in the rural semi-industrial districts. The chapters of this thesis therefore follow the story of silk production from the wider context of the national industry to the specific mills of Hertfordshire, asking first, why the establishment of an English silk industry was so important. Themes explored in later chapters are already discernible in the early history of the silk industry: the high involvement of women; the apprenticeshipo f children; the interventionist role of government; and the problem of the poor. The extent to which these factors impinged upon the relationship between master, worker, and the local district, and ultimately upon the viability of the Hertfordshire mills, form the central core of this study.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the development of Swedish fashion between 1930 and 1960 by examining the textile and clothing industry from the wider perspective of fashion production. It was during this period that Sweden was transformed into a leading industrial nation, which laid the foundation for increased prosperity in the post-war period. This historical and empirical study is predominantly based on systematic analysis of Swedish official statistics and close reading of the fashion press. The thesis applies a combination of approaches in the analytical chapters (chapter 2–4) that include three central aspects of fashion production: manufacturing, symbolic production, and the production of a national fashion. Chapter 2 gives an account of the industrial production of clothing and examines the scope, size and structure of the textile and clothing industry. The results confirm its importance to the Swedish economy in the period. One important finding shows that a shift in production from tailored outerwear to lighter garments occurred as early as the mid-1950s. Chapter 3 investigates the symbolic production of fashion by looking at the structure of the field of fashion in Sweden. The results show a French dominance where couturiers were celebrated as creative ‘artists’. A significant finding is how the idea of Swedish fashion was considered a process of creating economic value, as in clothing manufacturing. Chapter 4 deals with fashion as an expression of national culture. The result reveals a significant fashion culture associated with an everyday wear fashion that followed the Social Democratic reforms aimed at equality in society during the period. One important finding is that the wool coat was the hallmark of Swedish fashion identity in the post-war period. These results contribute to a broader understanding of fashion production and new insights into the history of its developments in Sweden between 1930 and 1960, which has gone largely unrecognised by previous fashion historians.

A indústria têxtil brasileira viveu seu apogeu econômico nas décadas de 1950, 1960 e 1970. Seus expressivos números, associados ao clima eufórico nacionalista, contribuíram para transformar esse setor num segmento importante para a consolidação de sentidos acerca da existência de uma identidade nacional, que se teria dado por meio da produção de estampas genuinamente brasileiras. Com base nessa hipótese, esta pesquisa dedica-se a explorar o processo de produção de sentidos nacionalistas e patrióticos implantados e difundidos por imagens, tendo como metodologia principal a investigação dos processos internos da indústria e a observação da divulgação dada à atuação da indústria têxtil naquele período. Procura-se comprovar que os sentidos produzidos foram decorrentes bem mais de um discurso eficiente do que de uma criação autêntica ou genuína que tenha havido nesse setor.The Brazilian textile industry reached its apogee in the period 1950-1970. The widespread impact it made in a climate of euphoric nationalism, led to this sector being turned into a means of strengthening feelings about the existence of a particular Brazilian national identity, which it achieved by producing printed designs that were genuinelyBrazilian. On the basis of this supposition, this research project is devoted to exploring the way nationalistic and patriotic feelings have been instilled and spread through images, by employing a methodology that mainly involves investigating the inner processes of industrialisation and the observation of the promotion of the textile industry in that period. The study seeks to support the view that the feelings that have been evoked, arise more from an effective discourse than any authentic or genuine creation that has taken place in this sector.

Full textAbstract:
By using oral history as the primary research method, the aim of this thesis is to document and analyse the experiences of women woollen textile workers in the mid-twentieth century. The thesis contains a critique of oral history as a research method in general and the feminist practice of oral history in particular. In order to locate the women in the study in a particular place, there is description of the development and eventual collapse of the woollen textile industry in the Huddersfield area of West Yorkshire.
Tape recorded interviews were carried out with 17 women. The key findings from their experiences fall into two main areas. The first relates to the experiences the women describe about the daily routine within the woollen mill, especially for new recruits and the tasks they had which were unconnected with their job. The second relates to the descriptions of the actions the women took during the collapse of the industry.
This thesis contributes to the wider body of work on working class women and offers original insights into the experiences of women who worked in an industry which has all but disappeared.

Vuletich, Clara. "Transitionary textiles : a craft-based journey of textile design practice towards new values and roles for a sustainable fashion industry." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2015. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/12402/.
Full textAbstract:
The current fashion textiles industry is based on an outdated, exploitative system that encourages fast consumption, generates huge amounts of textile waste, creates toxic impacts to ecosystems and causes significant social impacts to production workers. The move towards a more sustainable industry is a complex challenge and will be based on circular and social systems that prioritise values, collaboration and empathy for the environment and all stakeholders. This research defines the move towards a more sustainable fashion textiles industry as a transition that operates across environmental, social, and human domains. At the human level, the transition is an emergent process that involves both ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ dimensions (Maiteny & Reed 1988). For fashion textile designers, this process will demand new ways to practice and engage with the sustainability agenda, including the ‘outer’ dimensions of better materials or more ethical production models; and the ‘inner’, reflective dimensions of values and the self. This research proposes new roles for designers in these transitionary contexts, through craft-based fashion textile design practice. The practice projects presented in the thesis demonstrate three new roles that evolve through the sustainable design continuum to the highest level of Design for Social Equity (Manzini & Vezzoli 2008), where designers will support all stakeholders towards systemic, sustainable change. The practice projects reveal a collaborative and inter-disciplinary approach to fashion textile design practice in industry, local communities and the global supply chain. The research draws on a range of literature from sustainability theory, design/craft thinking, and psychology. The mixed methodology includes an action–research phase of collaborative practice projects, facilitation of workshops with designers in industry, and a reflective phase of textile making and writing. A model for the Transitionary Textile Designer is presented as a final outcome. In order for fashion textile designers to practice in transitionary contexts ‘beyond the swatch’, the research presents new methods and tools to connect individual values to social values inherent in the transition towards sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
The eighteenth century witnessed the expansion of rural industries. One of the more important was the production of linen cloth in the North of France. This study focuses on a village in southeastern Cambresis, Montigny, and examines the relationship between landownership and agricultural occupations on the one hand and artisanal and mercantile activities on the other. Weaving was introduced in the village some time in the seventeenth century but only became a major occupation in the eighteenth and the primary one in the nineteenth. This activity was controlled through numerous parallel channels, but the emergence of rural middlemen constitutes a dynamic breakthrough. They flourished despite constraints until the Revolution which re-channeled some of their energies. Although dependent on a supplementary income, the peasant-weavers did not sever their roots with the land. They continued to work as seasonal agricultural labourers, and were fully integrated within the agrarian community.

Nygaard, Christian A. B. "The Russian oil industry in transition : institutional and organisational reform." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2003. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6936/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses institutional and organisational reform in the Former Soviet Union and Russia in order to examine the effects and existence of path dependency and institutional competition in the development of the Russian oil industry. Based on a New Institutional Economics and Transaction Costs Economics framework the thesis establishes a link between the evolution of the oil industry and the institutional matrix associate with the structure of state power. In the post-Soviet setting path dependency is created by the state's continued reliance on a patrimonial structure of state power. Resource and time pressure and the lack of a popular reform consensus resulted in the domination of the former mode of state power over the constitutional-bureaucratic system favoured by the International Financial Institutions. The transaction cost premium associated with the constitutional-bureaucratic structure and the appropriation of income and resources created a bias towards the historic structure of state power. Thus state survival was an important factor in creating path dependency. However, the thesis reveals that due to the less ideologically based political foundation there is greater room for institutional competition. While such competition has remained low at the state administrative level the thesis finds there is some evidence of institutional competition at the industry level. Two corporate strategies (the Soviet Styled Company and the Western Styled Company) have emerged from the original Holding Type Company. These two strategies display different approaches to income extraction, development strategy and ownership structure. The two strategies constitute the basis from which potential institutional competition in the oil industry may develop.

Between 1813 and 1825 the Boston Manufacturing Company built a textile factory in Waltham, Massachusetts. Their factory is known for many important firsts in American industry, including the first commercially viable power loom, one of the first vertically integrated factories, and one of the first join stock financed manufacturing concerns. This successful factory became the direct model for the large textile mills built along the Merrimack River and elsewhere, iconic locations of American post-colonial industrialization. This dissertation looks at the early development and success of the Boston Manufacturing Company from a geographical perspective. It argues that in order build a successful factory, the company, its managers, and its workers, had to transform their "place": a notion that I investigate from an economic-geographical and anthropological point of view, moving from site, to landscape, to geographic networks. On these grounds, I show how the logic of the factory's development was both embedded in and shaping the emerging structures surrounding it, and how, in turn, the company’s later move to Lowell as one of the iconic industrial sites depended on its having successfully learned the business of "place-making" in its foundational Waltham decade.History of Science

Full textAbstract:
Au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, les industries de la laine et du coton se retrouvent entraînées dans la mobilisation industrielle. L’intervention de l’État dans ces branches se révèle indispensable, et une nouvelle relation s’établit entre la puissance publique et les entreprises. La modification de la teinte de l’uniforme, sa large diffusion à près de huit millions d’appelés sur quatre ans et la perte des bassins industriels du Nord et de l’Est conduisent à la mise sous contrôle de l’État de presque toute l’industrie lainière, tandis que l’industrie cotonnière reste indépendante jusqu’en 1917. Cette relation s’étend jusque dans les importations de matières premières, avec une centralisation progressive qui exclut le commerce privé, mais associe négociants et industriels. En outre, la gestion de la main-d’œuvre constitue un défi quotidien pour les entreprises. Le besoin de travailleurs reste important, et les difficultés liées aux conditions de travail et au renchérissement de la vie entraînent des tensions sociales, malgré l’Union sacrée observée par les organisations syndicales. Dans le même temps, la perte des principaux territoires industriels représente une aubaine pour les autres régions, dont celles dont l’industrie textile est sur le déclin avant la guerre. Les fortes demandes de l’armée et les hauts prix du commerce privé entraînent des bénéfices importants, et conduisent l’État à adopter une fiscalité de guerre et réprimer les abus. Le retour des industries sinistrées à la fin du conflit, la question des dommages de guerre et la réintégration de l’Alsace-Lorraine mettent les industries textiles face à des changements radicauxDuring the World War I, the industries of the wool and the cotton find themselves pulled(entailed) in the industrial mobilization. The intervention of the State in these branches shows itself essential, and a new relation becomes established between the public authorities and the companies. The modification of the colour of the uniform, its wide distribution about eight million conscripts over four years and the loss of the industrial areas of the North and east lead to the putting under control of the State of almost all the wool trade, whereas the cotton industry remains independent until 1917. This relation extends to the imports of raw materials, with a progressive centralization which excludes any private business(trade), but associates traders and industrialists. Besides, the management of the workforce constitutes a daily challenge for companies. The need in workforce remains important, and the difficulties bound in working conditions and to the increased cost living trigger social tensions, in spite of the “Union sacrée” respected by labor unions. At the same time, the loss of the main industrial territories represents a chance of a lifetime for the other regions, among which those whose textile industry is on the decline before the war. The high demands of the army and the high prices of private trade yeld important profits, and lead the State to adopt a war tax system and to repress the abuses. The return of the stricken industries at the end the conflict, the question of war damage and reinstatement of Alsace-Lorraine put the textile industries in the face of radical changes

Abstract: This work has had as an aim to retrieve the historic process of the creation and running of textiles factories founded and installed in the town of Caxias by Companhia Industrial Caxiense (1883), Companhia União Caxiense (1889), Fábrica Sanharó (1891) and Companhia Manufatora Caxiense (1892). The historic importance of the Companhia Industrial Caxiense is highlighted for having been the first spinning and weaving industry in the state of Maranhão. We have tried to understand the developing cycle of Caxias textile industry within the scenery of Brazilian textile industrialization, and the economical conditions of the old Province of Maranhão and Caxias town, between the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century and the first half of the Twentieth Century. The amplitude of the theme has demanded an effort in the search of documentation identified in the archives of Caxias and São Luis-MA, with which the treads of this first systematization work have been woven

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the use of design in the construction of Poland's national identity at the international exhibitions in the Cold War period. It is the first comprehensive study of Polish design discourse in any language that rests at the crossroads of design studies and cultural history. Based on original archival material, both written and visual, and oral interviews this thesis tracks the process of construction of Imagined Poland alongside the development of the design discipline during the three post-war decades. It charts the trajectory of these two narratives and examines their critical reception. In doing so this research casts new light on the relationship between design and political history in the Cold War Europe. However, it is not a thesis about designed objects or spaces per se, but rather about their discursive qualities and the way that they were put in work to narrate the nation. Versatile and embedded in the cultural, economic and social contexts, design understand here in its broadest sense proved to be well suited to this role: it allowed political authorities, trade representatives and creative intelligentsia to address timely issues on their agendas. This thesis closely examines eight exhibitions organised in the Soviet Union, Italy, Belgium and Poland. The narratives of these events, as the thesis argues, reflected the state's changing self-understanding towards international public opinion. It indicates that although Polish exhibitions were occasionally adjusted to the particular location, their themes were largely shaped in response to the political developments at home and in the Eastern Europe. By using exhibitions as a framework, this thesis offers a new perspective to study Polish international modernism and suggests a limited impact of ideology on the development of professional networks. Subsequently it provides a nuanced reading of Poland's relationship with the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc and the rest of Europe beyond reductive paradigm of totalitarianism.

Full textAbstract:
This bachelor’s thesis traces the life and career of textile designer Wanja Djanaieff, in particu- lar the collections she designed for the Swedish Olympic team for the games in Munich 1972 and Innsbruck 1976, in order to investigate the hypothesis that the social and political climate in Sweden shaped and constrained the stylistic choices available to textile designers at the time. Through the use of a biographical method, including an interview with Wanja, her works are placed within a broader cultural and political context, and the ways in which her art was influenced by historical developments, such as the decline of the Swedish textile industry from the 50’s onwards, are highlighted. Additionally, it is investigated which constraints were imposed on her designs by her clients, and how Wanja faced these constraints. It is argued that presence of irony and androgynous designs in Wanja’s work mirrors contemporary social developments, lending support to the notion that art reflects broader societal trends.

Welch, M. Courtney. "Evolution, Not Revolution: The Effect of New Deal Legislation on Industrial Growth and Union Development in Dallas, Texas." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2010. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc30524/.
Full textAbstract:
The New Deal legislation of the 1930s would threaten Dallas' peaceful industrial appearance. In fact, New Deal programs and legislation did have an effect on the city, albeit an unbalanced mixture of positive and negative outcomes characterized by frustrated workers and industrial intimidation. To summarize, the New Deal did not bring a revolution, but it did continue an evolutionary change for reform. This dissertation investigated several issues pertaining to the development of the textile industry, cement industry, and the Ford automobile factory in Dallas and its labor history before, during, and after the New Deal. New Deal legislation not only created an avenue for industrial workers to achieve better representation but also improved their working conditions. Specifically focusing on the textile, cement, and automobile industries illustrates that the development of union representation is a spectrum, with one end being the passive but successful cement industry experience and the other end being the automobile industry union efforts, which were characterized by violence and intimidation. These case studies illustrate the changing relationship between Dallas labor and the federal government as well as their local management. Challenges to the open shop movement in Dallas occurred before the creation of the New Deal, but it was New Deal legislation that encouraged union developers to recruit workers actively in Dallas. Workers' demands, New Deal industrial regulations, and union activism created a more urban, modern Dallas that would be solidified through the industrial demands for World War II.

Resumo: Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as políticas de publicidade empregadas no Brasil pela Divisão Têxtil da Rhodia S.A, entre 1960-1970. Elaboradas por Lívio Rangan,então diretor de publicidade da empresa, foram executadas pela equipe de profissionais da Standard Propaganda, a fim de criar o gosto pelo fio sintético (produto sobre o qual a Rhodia deteve exclusividade de produção, no país, até 1968) e popularizar o seu uso e ocasionaram uma verdadeira ¿revolução do vestuário¿. Essa política de publicidade foi calcada na produção de editoriais de moda para revistas e de desfiles, os quais conjugavam elementos da cultura nacional (música, arte e pintura), com a finalidade de associar o produto da multinacional à criação de uma "moda brasileira".Tais espetáculos são uma novidade que dinamiza os desfiles e neles introduz uma nova estética e configuração. A tese ocupa-se, ainda, da importância de tais políticas para a profissionalização do campo da moda no Brasil
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the politics of advertising used by the Textiles Division of Rhodia S.A in Brazil, between 1960-1970. The advertising campaings were elaborated for Lívio Rangan (then managing of advertising of the company), and were executed by a team of professionals at Standard Propaganda, in order to create taste and to popularize the use of synthetic fibers (produced in Brazil exclusively by Rhodia up to 1968), causing a true ¿clothing revolution¿. This advertising policy was based on the production of fashion editorials for magazines and of shows, which conjugated elements of the Brazilian national culture (music, art and painting), in order to associate the product of a multinational company to the ¿Brazilian fashion¿. Such fashion spectacles are a novelty that brought dynamism to the shows and introduced a new aesthetic. The politics of the professionalization of the field of fashion in Brazil and its importance are thus the object of this thesis

Esta dissertaÃÃo estuda os embates operÃrios no perÃodo 1959 -1964, no contexto da histÃria do movimento operÃrio paraibano. Aborda inicialmente a construÃÃo da FÃbrica Rio Tinto, entre 1917 e 1924, empreendimento descrito na imprensa e nos registros dos memorialistas, de modo grandiloqÃente, pois em sua visÃo, a fÃbrica impulsionou a economia da regiÃo e da ParaÃba. As primeiras greves em 1930, a criaÃÃo do Sindicato em 1932, a vigilÃncia e repressÃo aos operÃrios comunistas, bem como as paralisaÃÃes de 1946 e 1951, sÃo aqui estudadas como experiÃncias de classe, em seu processo de organizaÃÃo, em seus conteÃdos de heranÃa e partilha. Destaca-se tambÃm o ascenso da organizaÃÃo dos trabalhadores entre 1959 e 1964, em Rio Tinto, como nÃcleo significativo do movimento operÃrio paraibano, compondo sua agenda de reivindicaÃÃes, alÃando vitÃrias, sofrendo reveses e, realizando articulaÃÃes no plano da polÃtica eleitoral. A anÃlise dos processos trabalhistas, como uma via na conquista de direitos, identifica as questÃes trabalhistas como expressÃo de conteÃdo de luta dos trabalhadores. Em estudo ainda, a conjuntura de 1960, com a eleiÃÃo do operÃrio AntÃnio Fernandes para o sindicato e à prefeitura da cidade-fÃbrica em 1963, bem como a repressÃo ao movimento operÃrio em Rio Tinto com o Golpe civil-militar de 1964.
This essay studies the workersâ collisions in the period of 1959 through 1964, emphasizing the labour movement in ParaÃba. It approaches, initially, the construction of the Rio Tinto Factory, between the years of 1917 and 1924, undertaking described in the press and in memoirs as a great enterprise, since, in their vision, the factory developed the economy of the region and of ParaÃba. The first strikes in 1930, the creation of the workerâs union in 1932, the watch and repression of the communist labourers, and also the paralyzations in 1946 and 1951, are studied here as classesâ experiences, in its organizational process, and in its contents of heritage and division. It accentuates the ascension of the workersâ organization in Rio Tinto between 1959 and 1964, as an essential center of the labour movement in ParaÃba, putting into practice their agenda of demands, conquering victories, suffering reverses and articulating in the electoral politics. The analysis of the workersâ processes, as a way of conquering rights, identifies the labour issues as an expression of the workersâ struggle. It is also studied the conjuncture of 1960, with the election of the labourer AntÃnio Fernandes for the union and for the city hall of the factorytown in 1963, and the repression of the labour movement in Rio Tinto after the coup dâÃtat civil-military of 1964.

Esta dissertação é o resultado das investigações acerca das contribuições da Companhia Têxtil Ferreira Guimarães para a cidade, destacando sua história na trajetória têxtil da Manchester Mineira e o que ficou em termos de lembrança e memória para o patrimônio cultural de Juiz de Fora. Ao fazer um levantamento histórico sobre a Ferreira Guimarães, busca conhecer os dados existentes desde a sua implantação no conjunto arquitetônico que pertenceu anteriormente à Fábrica dos Ingleses e à Industrial Mineira, firmas que antecederam o surgimento da empresa em Juiz de Fora. Refletindo sobre a importância assumida pela companhia na cidade e a sua participação na vida social daqueles que tiveram algum tipo de relação com esta companhia têxtil, pretende-se enfocar principalmente o período após o fechamento da primeira unidade fabril, em 1995, até a desativação da fábrica e de quase todo o complexo industrial pertencente a ela, registrando a repercussão desse processo de falência na sociedade juiz-forana. Preocupando-se em demarcar a importância da companhia no imaginário social local, tanto dos funcionários como da sociedade como um todo, concluiremos a dissertação com ênfase no legado como patrimônio para a cidade, inclusive a partir da análise dos aspectos materiais e imateriais dos elementos da sua história. Traduzindo essas relações através do tempo e das pessoas que tiveram suas trajetórias vinculadas de alguma forma à própria história da Companhia, fazendo desta história parte da história de suas vidas, busca registrar, através de uma abordagem da História Social, a possibilidade de existência de tais relações por meio de ―modos de lembrar‖, dando enfoque a diferentes formas de representação da memória. Busca fazer a identificação da memória desse tempo vivido e de sua marca na história pelo viés de uma empresa.
This dissertation is the result of research into the contributions of Textile Company Ferreira Guimarães to the city, highlighting its history in the textile trajectory of ―Manchester Mineira‖ and what was in terms of memory and memory for the cultural patrimony of Juiz de Fora. When making a historical survey on the Ferreira Guimarães, seeks to know the data since its implementation in architectural complex that formerly belonged to the British Factory and Industrial Mineira, firms that preceded the appearance of the company in Juiz de Fora. Reflecting on the importance assumed by the company in the city and to participate in social life of those who had some kind of relationship with this textile company, especially if the intention is to focus on the period after the closing of the first factory in 1995, up disabling factory and almost all industrial complex belonging to it, recording the impact of bankruptcy on juiz-forana society. Taking care to mark the importance of the company in local social imaginary of both the employees and society as a whole, we conclude the thesis with emphasis on legacy as equity for the city, including the analysis of material and immaterial aspects of elements its history. Translating these relationships over time and the people who had their trajectories linked somehow to the Company's history, making this story of the history of their lives, seek to record, through an approach of social history, the possibility of such relationships through "ways to remember", by focusing on different forms of representation of memory. Seeks to identify the memory of that time lived and their mark on history from the perspective of a company.

O presente trabalho objetiva discutir o cotidiano e as relações sociais intra e extra-fabris estabelecidas por operárias da Companhia Valença Industrial, uma fábrica têxtil situada na cidade baiana de Valença, cuja fundação remonta ao século XIX. Por sua importância, revelada pela memória da sociedade valenciana, a Companhia e seus trabalhadores constituíram-se como elementos históricos significativos para a compreensão da dinâmica da cidade, de sua trajetória socioeconômica, de suas particularidades culturais. O estudo utilizou-se das fontes orais, como fonte privilegiada e, além delas, fontes escritas dos arquivos da fábrica e jornais de circulação local, dentre outras. A discussão proposta evidencia a importância da mão de obra feminina para a fábrica, as condições de trabalho, a hierarquia fabril, um perfil daquele grupo de trabalhadores, as relações sociais, o cotidiano doméstico, as formas de socialização e lazer, situando os sujeitos em estudo na sociedade valenciana.

Les sceaux de plomb sont des artefacts relativement inconnus mais très importants comme sources d’information sur les textiles et leur consommation aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Ces étiquettes en plomb souvent attachées aux textiles ont servi comme indicateurs de qualité, de possession et de paiement des impôts sur ces textiles et autres biens commerciaux. Trouvés sur plusieurs sites archéologiques en Amérique du Nord, ces sceaux sont des indicateurs des origines éuropéennes des textiles ainsi que des réseaux marchands nécessaires pour les transporter vers la Nouvelle-France, un espace colonial fort dépendant de la métropole. Cette étude vise à découvrir de nouveaux détails sur les formes de consommation textile uniques de trois sites différents par leur localisation, leurs fonctions et leur population en utilisant les sceaux de plomb qui s’y trouvent. Les sceaux de trois sites français de l’époque coloniale seront examinés; le fort Saint-Joseph (Niles, MI), fort Ticonderoga (à Ticonderoga, NY, aussi connu sur le nom de fort Carillon) et la forteresse de Louisbourg (Louisbourg, NÉ).Lead seals are relatively unknown artifacts, but are important as sources of information concerning textiles and their consumption in the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries. These lead tags were often attached to textiles and were proof of quality, ownership, and payment of taxes on textiles and other commercial goods. Found at many archaeological sites in North America, these seals are indicators of the European origins of imported textiles as well as merchant networks needed in order to transport them to New France, a colonial territory that was very dependent on the metropole. This study aims to discover new details concerning the unique consumption patterns present as three sites with different functions, locations, and populations, using the lead seals found at these sites. Seals from three French sites from the colonial period will be examined; Fort St. Joseph (Niles, MI), Fort Ticonderoga (Ticonderoga, NY, also known as Fort Carillon), and Fortress Louisbourg (Louisbourg, NS).

Full textAbstract:
Scholars from various disciplines have demonstrated that popular culture factored significantly in Cold War contestation. As a pervasive form of cultural content and unifying medium for baby boomers worldwide, pop music played an important part in the power struggle between the era’s two adversarial camps. Historical studies of the past thirty years have identified initiatives of cultural diplomacy, from radio broadcasting to live concert tours, as key to disseminating Western music in Eastern Bloc societies. This project explains how cultural commerce across the divide of the Iron Curtain familiarized millions of music fans in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) with popular sounds from the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western democracies. Detailing a process that affected all Bloc states in similar ways, it seeks to enrich the scholarly discourse on the role of pop culture in the twentieth century’s defining ideological conflict.
Through analysis of previously unavailable or inaccessible sources, the dissertation reconstructs the economic development of a communist culture industry and measures the commercial significance of Western commodities in one Eastern Bloc marketplace. Drawing on untapped archival files, it traces the evolution of Deutsche Schallplatten (German Records) from a small private firm into a flagship enterprise on the GDR’s cultural circuit. It illuminates how dependency on technology and resources from capitalist countries prompted East Germany’s managers to prioritize the westward export of classical recordings for the purpose of earning hard currencies. Based on oral histories of contemporary witnesses, it documents how the Amiga label through the parent company’s business ties to capitalist partners advanced the import of Western jazz, blues, rock, pop, and dance music to exhaust the purchasing power of the home audience. Empirically evaluating formerly classified production data for a total of 143 million records, it reveals how the state-owned monopolist engineered a de facto takeover of the domestic marketplace by American, British, and West German performers to achieve high profitability. The dissertation argues that intensifying Westernization of its walled-in music market exemplified the GDR’s decision to concede the Cold War battle over cultural preferences and political loyalties of its citizens out of economic necessity.

Aquesta recerca vol presentar el gremi de Perxers com un element de cohesió social al llarg de l’època moderna. Aquesta tesi presenta la història d’un gremi seder, durant tres segles, amb els canvis temporals però amb unes característiques que s’han mantingut al llarg dels anys.
Els Perxers van ser un gremi seder de gran importància a la Barcelona moderna. Des de la seva trajectòria hem analitzat la vida corporativa i l’organització del gremi, per demostrar que els gremis eren un factor d’estabilitat. Ho demostren els objectius d’unitat, els ajuts als desfavorits i la feina regulada des del gremi, amb el control dels agremiats i llurs activitats.
Per això vam estudiar la trajectòria dels Perxers des de 1505, llur col·laboració continuada amb la ciutat, en situacions de crisi bèl·lica o econòmica, les relacions amb els altres gremis, els plets i concòrdies. Els documents d’arxiu han donat continuïtat a la recerca per arribar a unes conclusions coherents. S’ha fet referència al treball de les dones, regulat dins el gremi. Els Perxers van ser capdavanters. També ho foren amb els ajuts als pobres del gremi i de la ciutat. Aquests ajuts estaven regulats molt abans de les polítiques assistencials del segle XIX.
La concreció dels continguts era obligada perquè és una recerca d’un gremi tèxtil seder, no de la institució gremial. Les conclusions són un recull de la recerca, amb unes característiques específiques dels Perxers. Aquesta recerca ens aproxima als gremis i a la Catalunya moderna fins a l’inici de la industrialització. Està centrada en els segles XVII i XVIII, perquè gran part de la documentació analitzada pertany a aquesta etapa, sense oblidar altres referències anteriors i posteriors.

Full textAbstract:
Situé en plein cœur de Paris, le Sentier reconnu depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle comme le centre le plus actif du commerce international des tissus, s’est construit dans la continuité d’un ‘’Sentier ancien ‘’ qui trouve ses origines dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle. En nous appuyant sur les Almanachs du Commerce de Paris pour reconstruire l’infrastructure économique de cet espace, nous avons pu mettre en évidence les caractéristiques de cet ensemble originaire et plus particulièrement la croissante centralité du quartier Montmartre dans le commerce des tissus. Placé à la lisière des grands boulevards et des lieux de la « nouvelle modernité » parisienne, ce quartier était le véritable noyau central du commerce des tissus en gros, animé par un négoce important et solidement implanté dans les rues du Sentier, Saint-Fiacre et des Jeûneurs. Il s’agit prioritairement, au début du siècle, du commerce des articles de toiles de coton et des châles, rejoints à partir des années 1830, par la vente de dentelles, de tissus mérinos et de tissus de nouveautés.Dans notre recherche pour saisir l’ensemble des éléments à l’œuvre dans la construction identitaire de cet espace original, l’exploitation de diverses sources, telles que les sources cadastrales, la composition des listes électorales ou les archives notariales, nous ont permis de restituer une image précise de ces dynamiques, de dégager l’importance de cette sphère professionnelle et ses multiples conséquences sur l’espace physique et social de ce quartierLocated in the very heart of Paris, the SENTIER which prevails in the second half of the 19th century as the most active center of the business of international trade of fabrics, built itself in the continuity of a " former SENTIER " which has its origins in the first half of the 19th century. Relying on the Almanachs of the Trade of Paris to reconstruct the economic infrastructure of this space, we were able to highlight the characteristics of this first socio-economic group and the increasing centrality of the Montmartre neighborhood in the trade of fabrics. Located at the edge of the places of the "new Parisian modernity ", this district became the central point of the wholesale fabrics trade, led by an important trade firmly established in the streets of the Sentier, Saint Fiacre and Jeuneurs. It mainly concerns, at the beginning of the century, the trade of articles of cotton cloths and shawls, joined from 1830s, by the sale of laces, merino fabrics and fashionable fabrics. In our search to seize all the elements in action in the identity construction of this original space, the exploitation of diverse sources, such as the cadastral sources, the composition of electoral rolls or the notarial archives, allowed us to restore a precise image of these dynamics to express the importance of this professional sphere and its multiple consequences on the physical and social space of this district

O objetivo deste estudo foi escrever a história da empresa têxtil Malharia Nossa Senhora da Conceição, pioneira na fabricação de meias finas na América Latina, sediada na cidade de Jacareí SP. Ela foi fundada em 1879, por Luiz Simon e, a partir de 1944, passou a pertencer à família Haddad. A relevância do estudo está no fato de ser uma empresa centenária, ainda ativa, que permitiu a análise do modelo de industrialização brasileira através da sua história. Ao longo de sua trajetória, comprovou-se que as principais características da Malharia foram: a visão estratégica para buscar oportunidades, a inovação e a qualidade. A empresa conquistou espaço no mercado, mesmo em épocas de crise. Utilizou das mais avançadas tecnologias para a produção de meias e buscou a qualidade para diferenciar os seus produtos no mercado. No transcorrer de sua existência, a qualidade dos produtos gerou o reconhecimento através de diversos prêmios e homenagens recebidos. A inovação foi demonstrada pelo seu pionerismo na produção de diversos produtos. Isso evidenciou a prosperidade dessa fábrica através de sua tradição consolidada por mais de um século de existência e de sua permanência no mercado até os dias atuais. Para a elaboração deste trabalho, fez-se um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o assunto; uma pesquisa documental no acervo da Malharia Nossa Senhora da Conceição e da Imprensa Oficial do Estado de São Paulo e uma entrevista com o principal executivo da organização. O levantamento dos dados sobre a trajetória da empresa tem grande importância porque foi elaborado, por meio de um trabalho consistente de crítica e de seleção de informações que se apresenta como um instrumento que contribuirá para uma melhor compreensão da história da empresa, da região em que ela atua e do próprio país.The purpose of this study was to write the history of the textile company Malharia Nossa Senhora da Conceição, the pioneer in the manufacture of stockings in Latin America, headquartered in Jacareí SPs city.

Full textAbstract:
From the 1880s, a new type of designed green space appeared in the industrial landscape in England and the USA - the factory pleasure garden or park. At the same time, industrialists began to enhance their office and factory buildings with landscaping and planting, and some opened allotment gardens for the children of factory workers. The making of gardens and parks around or near office and factory buildings, designed by professionals, was driven by belief in the value of gardens and parks to recruitment and retention of staff, to industrial welfare, and to advertising, corporate identity and public relations. The thesis will show how industrialists appropriated the historical, cultural and metaphorical meanings of gardens in a bid to redefine industry as progressive and responsible and to shift the image of factory labour from unhealthy and exploitative to healthy, caring, respectable and sociable. The thesis will argue that companies employed landscape professionals to contribute to a positive image of industry and industrial development in the suburban or rural landscape, and to harmonise industry and nature. It will show how the factory gardens and parks supported numerous and varied opportunities for outdoor recreation that in some districts would not have been so readily accessible to working people, particularly to women and young people. The thesis will show how companies exploited the social and cultural capital of gardens and recreation space through photography, illustration and film for promotional purposes. It will suggest that although the sporting and other outdoor recreational opportunities at factories were likely to be beneficial to many, the greater value to companies of factory pleasure gardens was in advertising and public relations. The thesis will build on existing research that highlights the valuable contribution of industry to sports and recreation provision in this period. It will also suggest that industry had more influence on gardens and gardening than is currently understood.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa estuda a história da construção e destruição da vila operária de Carioba localizada no município de Americana, SP (1901 a 1983). Procura compreender a organização social, as relações estabelecidas por distintos grupos de imigrantes operários e as articulações e disputas travadas pelos proprietários da vila e da indústria de tecidos que culminaram no prestígio que Carioba adquiriu na cidade e região. Busca indícios e marcas do declínio da fábrica de tecidos que levou ao encerramento de suas atividades e a destruição da vila. Revela a tumultuada relação do Grupo Abdalla com os operários e o uso da grande greve de Carioba como uma das estratégias utilizadas na solução dos conflitos entre empresários e militares. Ao narrar como se deu a desocupação da vila, o movimento de resistência dos moradores e as demolições das casas dos operários, este estudo torna visível o jogo de interesses dos proprietários, do Poder Público Municipal e de políticos de distintas tendências ao longo do tempo. E analisa a construção da memória de Carioba, a disputa de seu lugar na história após sua destruição. Uma luta travada por antigos moradores que garantiu a preservação de uma imagem de Carioba como um lugar paradisíaco, jogando no esquecimento os conflitos e a própria complexidade das relações entre operários e proprietários, partidos políticos e grupos de imigrantes. O estudo examinou: discursos, fotografias, testemunhos e os brasões da cidade de Americana, sem deixar de considerar as estratégias de construção da memória registrada em símbolos municipais, além da nomeação de inúmeros logradouros públicos com nomes de cariobenses.

It aims to comprehend the social organization, the relationships established by different groups of immigrant workers, and the articulations and disputes set between the village's and the fabric industry's owners, which resulted in the prestige Carioba achieved within the city and the region it is part of. Besides, it searches for evidences and signs of the fabric industry decadence, which led to its end and to the destruction of the village. It also reveals the disturbed relationship between the Abdalla Group and the workers, as well as the use of Carioba's great strike as part of the strategy adopted to solve the conflicts between the entrepreneurs and the militaries. By addressing how the departing, the residents' movement of resistance and the demolition of the workers' houses occurred, this study makes it possible to see the lobby games played over the time by the owners, the municipal authorities and the politicians of different trends. It also analyses the construction of Carioba's memory, its fight for a place in history after its destruction. Such fight led by the ancient residents guaranteed the preservation of Carioba's image of a paradisiacal place, leaving the conflicts and the complex relationship between workers and owners, and between political parties and immigrant groups to be forgotten. This study examined: speeches, photographs, testimonials and Americana's Arm, not disconsidering the strategies for the construction of the memory featured in the municipal symbols, along with the naming of numerous public spaces with names of Carioba natives.

. This thesis consists of an introduction and four previously published articles. The joint empirical focus is papermaking based on textile rags as fibre raw material. Furthermore the physical environment is central in the studies. The relationship between continuity and change is a prevailing theme. The thesis also pays attention to the use of different sorts of rags and to the connection between this kind of papermaking and the textile industry.
The overall purpose is to throw new light upon the paper industry based on rags – a part of early industry seldom mentioned in historical surveys of the industrialization process in Sweden. The aim is also to question the prevalent Swedish historical writing commissioned by the branch, characterized by set divisions between different phases of technical and industrial development, from simple craft to modern industry. One of these borderlines has been drawn between papermaking by hand and papermaking by machine, with the 1830s as the selected transition period. By studying and analysing changes in the traditional and seemingly static papermaking as well as the opposite: the traditional that has lingered in the new, this thesis shows that the course of events was much more complicated than that. An outcome of the studies is that the industrialization of the rag based paper industry has been a complex, uneven and prolonged process.
The first main part of the thesis consists of two Swedish regional studies centred on the province of Östergötland in a long-time perspective. The focus is mainly on the long continuity of papermaking by hand, which was carried out between 1628 and 1968. The study shows that a variety of types and sizes of mills regarding ownership, forms of production, location, paper qualities and techniques can be identified. Continuity was the dominating feature but within this framework technological and industrial change also took place.
The second main part of the thesis has a Nordic perspective and deals with a shorter period, mainly 1830-1870. One study examines the introduction of the paper-machine and the establishment of the first machine-made paper mills in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland with special attention given to the Swedish mill Holmen in Norrköping and the Finnish Tammerfors mill, both situated in textile mill towns. A second Nordic study surveys hand-made paper mills founded during and after the time when the paper-machine technology had been established. As the studies show, two parallel development tracks were prevalent in the paper industry in the Nordic countries during the period 1830-1870 – papermaking by machine and papermaking by hand.
The first paper machines were imported from Britain to some of the oldest and largest paper mills. The introduction of the new technology led to changes in for instance the paper mill buildings and the organization of work regarding the papermaking process. In the preparatory and finishing work manual methods remained, and as before it employed mostly women.
At the same time, papermaking by hand continued to change and new hand-made paper mills were founded until as late as the 1890s. The study discusses possible explanations, among them growing markets for special qualities and combinations with other branches of industry.
All the studies show a connection between hand-made paper mills and wool mills on one hand, and machine-made paper mills and cotton and linen mills on the other hand. The paper industry based on rags could in fact be characterized as a kind of textile industry

Cette recherche propose une histoire immatérielle du vêtement en Occident et plus particulièrement autour des XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Que signifie s’habiller dans les sociétés occidentales où le christianisme apparaît, à l’origine, puis dans son principe, comme une contre-culture inversant le système de valeurs de la sociabilité matérielle historique.Le développement s’attache au changement radical d’attitudes à l’égard du vêtement dans les communautés chrétiennes du Bas-Empire romain du IIe au IVe siècle ;à l’institutionnalisation des apparences chrétiennes au haut Moyen Age ;à la métaphore du vêtement comme grande figure explicative des mythes chrétiens ;au statut anthropologique du vêtement dans la pensée et les pratiques médiévales ;à l’histoire de la valeur de l’objet technique et corporel ;aux modèles de consommation des biens de luxe ;au gouvernement politique par les apparences à la fin du Moyen Âge ;aux causes de la transformation des formes du vêtement jusqu’à la naissance du phénomène de mode. Toutes les sources (théologie, littérature populaire, comptabilité, archives judiciaires, images) sont convoquées, parfois de manière quantitative. Lorsque c’est possible le raisonnement procède par inversion :mettre en lumière des situations ponctuelles par l’arrière-plan normatif ou affectif, comprendre les phénomènes de longue durée ou les contradictions internes à une société au moyen de cas précis (une controverse, par exemple). Une expérience de description « intégrée » du récit historique est donc tentée, séparant le moins possible les « univers » (le social, l’économique, le symbolique, l’esthétique…) qui forment d’un seul tenant une culture. Si l’on souhaite faire une histoire du vêtement médiéval, il n’est pas dit que les moments, les pratiques ou les auteurs interrogés appartiennent à ce que l’on appelle couramment le Moyen Âge.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tesis analiza el devenir histórico de la industria textil fabril en la zona centro de México, desde sus inicios en 1830 hasta 1910 cuando tiene lugar el final del Porfiriato. Su temprano arranque la constituyó en la primera industria de transformación en México y en el contexto latinoamericano. El producto elaborado mayoritariamente en las fábricas textiles fue la tela burda de algodón, conocida como manta, de amplia demanda popular y de múltiples usos, presente en la sociedad mexicana desde tiempos prehispánicos, por lo que esta tesis inicia reconstruyendo históricamente la manufactura de este tipo de bien en la larga duración. Con ello, se busca explicar que la flamante industria fabril de algodón de principios del siglo XIX se montó sobre un mercado previamente probado a cargo, entonces, de la comunidad indígena y el taller artesanal. Entre 1830 y 1910 la novedosa industria se caracterizó por multiplicar el número de fábricas y por presentar una tendencia francamente ascendente en lo que hace a producción y capacidad técnica instalada en la zona centro. Con la finalidad de alcanzar un análisis a mayor profundidad, la investigación aborda esta zona desde una óptica regional estudiando el comportamiento del fenómeno fabril en las distintas regiones que la conforman: Occidente, Centro, El Bajío y Oriente. Sustentado en fuentes cuantitativas de la época (estadísticas históricas), la trayectoria industrial es examinada bajo 5 cortes temporales (1843, 1854, 1877, 1901 y 1910) que toman el pulso a ese devenir tanto a nivel nacional, de zona como para cada una de las regiones en cuanto a número de fábricas, husos, telares, producción, fuerza de trabajo, dimensiones fabriles, entre otros. Por su parte, las fuentes primarias obtenidas de archivos de fábricas, municipales, estatales y nacionales a la par de las hemerográficas, las entrevistas y las estancias de campo efectuadas, posibilitaron -junto con las fuentes secundarias- un análisis cualitativo del problema de estudio al incorporar otros aspectos inherentes al mismo como son los determinantes geográficos y la localización fabril, materia prima, fuerza de motriz, empresariado,
proceso productivo, circulación, mercados, por nombrar los más importantes. El análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo instrumentado revela la existencia de procesos convergentes y divergentes entre las regiones en el largo tiempo gracias a la construcción de una visión de conjunto. Finalmente, la investigación concluye en que el crecimiento de la producción, impulsado por nuevas energías y por la renovación de la planta industrial, y auspiciada por el ferrocarril, culminó en una temprana sustitución de importaciones de productos baratos de algodón, particularmente británicos. El estudio, asimismo, pone de manifiesto que la maquinaria fue sistemáticamente importada desde países avanzados industrialmente durante todo el periodo que abarca esta tesis, lo que si bien propició un destacado crecimiento industrial no se tradujo en una industrialización autosostenida.

Full textAbstract:
Après les longues années de guerres louis-quatorziennes, le retour de la paix en Europe et sur les mers marque le début d’une nouvelle période dans l’histoire de la Normandie. En l’espace de quelques années, les ports renouent avec la croissance suite à la mise en valeur des colonies et à la reprise des activités commerciales. L’arrivée massive des produits coloniaux et en particulier du « roi coton » entraine de nombreux changements dans les centres urbains et les campagnes où la filature connait une progression fulgurante. Le développement de l’économie atlantique et son importance pour l’économie de la Normandie n’est cependant pas sans conséquence. Même si elle apporte une certaine aisance et permet à de nombreux habitants des campagnes d’assurer leur subsistance quotidienne, elle a dans le même temps scellé le sort d’une partie de la population à l’activité commerciale et aux vicissitudes de l’industrie textile alors en plein essor. À partir d’une analyse quantitative et spatiale, l’objectif de cette thèse, en s’intéressant aux crises et aux émeutes de subsistances, est d’étudier les conséquences de l’intégration de la Normandie à l’économie atlantique. Au-delà d’un réexamen des crises qui éclatent entre la paix d’Utrecht et la guerre d’Indépendance américaine, cette recherche s’articule autour de deux périodes emblématiques marquées par d’importantes transformations. La première est celle engendrée par la signature en 1786 du traité de commerce dit d’Eden-Rayneval entre la France et l’Angleterre qui met un terme à la politique mercantiliste en vigueur depuis 1713. La seconde est celle de la crise provoquée par la révolution française, la révolte des esclaves de Saint-Domingue en 1791, et le retour de la guerre sur les mers en 1793After the long years of the Louis XIV’s wars, the return of peace in Europe and on the seas represented the beginning of a new era in the history of Normandy. Within a few years, ports were back on the road to growth thanks to thedevelopment of the colonies and the resumption of commercial activities. The massive arrival of colonial products and in particular of the "cotton king", brought about many changes in urban centres and countryside where spinning was booming. The development of the Atlantic economy and its importance for the Norman economy was, however,not without consequences. Even if it brought a certain ease and enabled many rural inhabitants to ensure their daily subsistence, it sealed at the same time the fate of a part of the population to the commercial activities and the vicissitudes of the textile industry, which was rapidly expanding. This dissertation relies on a quantitative and spatial analysis, with a focus on crises and subsistence riots, to study the consequences of the integration of Normandy in the Atlantic economy. Beyond a re-examination of the crisis that erupted between the Peace of Utrecht and the American War of Independence, this research focuses on two emblematic periods marked by major transformations. The signature in 1786 of the so-called Eden-Rayneval trade treaty between France and England, which put an end to the mercantilist policy in force since 1713, marked the beginning of the first period. The second is that of the crisis caused by the French Revolution, the revolt of the slaves in Saint-Domingue in 1791, and the return of the war on the seas in 1793

Full textAbstract:
Die Böhme Fettchemie ging aus der 1881 von Hermann Theodor Böhme errichteten „Drogen-, Farben- und chemische Produktehandlung“ hervor. Am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als kleine Verkaufshandlung gegründet, etablierte es sich innerhalb von 50 Jahren zu einem weltbekannten Unternehmen zunächst im Bereich der Textilhilfsmittel. Doch auch im Bereich der Haushaltswaschmittel erreichte es in den 1930er Jahren ebenfalls einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad. Mit der Werbefigur Johanna, die das weltweit erste synthetische Waschmittel „Fewa“ anpries, war es der Firma gelungen, ein breites Publikum auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Neben der Unternehmensgeschichte – von der Gründung bis in die Mitte der 1940er Jahre – gibt die Autorin Ivonne Reichmann mit dem vorliegenden Werk Auskunft über soziale und wirtschaftliche Aspekte der Böhme Fettchemie. Die einzelnen, chronologisch gegliederten Kapitel erschließen die bauliche Erweiterung, die Mitarbeiterstruktur, den Ausbau der Produktpalette sowie die weltweite Ausdehnung des Unternehmens. Deren Werbemaßnahmen spielen dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die Übernahme durch den Henkel-Konzern in den 1930er Jahren.

6. NachkriegsjahreBöhme Fettchemie emerged from a 'drugs, dyes and chemical products shop' established by Hermann Theodor Böhme in 1881. Founded at the end of the 19th century as a small sales business, it established itself within 50 years as a world-famous company, initially in the field of textile auxiliaries. But also in the field of household laundry detergents it achieved a high degree of recognition in the 1930s. With the advertising figure Johanna, who praised the world's first synthetic detergent 'Fewa', the company succeeded in attracting the attention of a wide audience. In addition to the company's history – from its foundation to the mid-1940s – the author Ivonne Reichmann provides information about the social and economic aspects of Böhme Fettchemie with this work. The individual, chronologically structured chapters reveal the structural expansion, the employee structure, the expansion of the product range as well as the worldwide expansion of the company. Their advertising measures play just as much a role as the takeover by the Henkel Group in the 1930s. This study closes a research gap to the hitherto little considered area of the chemical industry in southwest Saxony.:1. Fragestellung und Methode 2.

This essay studies the workers’ collisions in the period of 1959 through 1964, emphasizing the labour movement in Paraíba. It approaches, initially, the construction of the Rio Tinto Factory, between the years of 1917 and 1924, undertaking described in the press and in memoirs as a great enterprise, since, in their vision, the factory developed the economy of the region and of Paraíba. The first strikes in 1930, the creation of the worker’s union in 1932, the watch and repression of the communist labourers, and also the paralyzations in 1946 and 1951, are studied here as classes’ experiences, in its organizational process, and in its contents of heritage and division. It accentuates the ascension of the workers’ organization in Rio Tinto between 1959 and 1964, as an essential center of the labour movement in Paraíba, putting into practice their agenda of demands, conquering victories, suffering reverses and articulating in the electoral politics. The analysis of the workers’ processes, as a way of conquering rights, identifies the labour issues as an expression of the workers’ struggle. It is also studied the conjuncture of 1960, with the election of the labourer Antônio Fernandes for the union and for the city hall of the factorytown in 1963, and the repression of the labour movement in Rio Tinto after the coup d’état civil-military of 1964.
Esta dissertação estuda os embates operários no período 1959 -1964, no contexto da história do movimento operário paraibano. Aborda inicialmente a construção da Fábrica Rio Tinto, entre 1917 e 1924, empreendimento descrito na imprensa e nos registros dos memorialistas, de modo grandiloqüente, pois em sua visão, a fábrica impulsionou a economia da região e da Paraíba. As primeiras greves em 1930, a criação do Sindicato em 1932, a vigilância e repressão aos operários comunistas, bem como as paralisações de 1946 e 1951, são aqui estudadas como experiências de classe, em seu processo de organização, em seus conteúdos de herança e partilha. Destaca-se também o ascenso da organização dos trabalhadores entre 1959 e 1964, em Rio Tinto, como núcleo significativo do movimento operário paraibano, compondo sua agenda de reivindicações, alçando vitórias, sofrendo reveses e, realizando articulações no plano da política eleitoral. A análise dos processos trabalhistas, como uma via na conquista de direitos, identifica as questões trabalhistas como expressão de conteúdo de luta dos trabalhadores. Em estudo ainda, a conjuntura de 1960, com a eleição do operário Antônio Fernandes para o sindicato e à prefeitura da cidade-fábrica em 1963, bem como a repressão ao movimento operário em Rio Tinto com o Golpe civil-militar de 1964.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi estudia el cas d’una de les primeres fàbriques de teixits de cotó que va usar el vapor com a força motriu, coneguda popularment a Vilanova i la Geltrú com la Fàbrica de la Rambla o també com Manufacturas El Fénix SA. L’empresa que l’havia de construir i fer funcionar es va establir l’any 1833 però, per vicissituds diverses, no va poder començar a funcionar fins l’any 1839 i cap a mitjan la dècada de 1960 va tancar les seves portes definitivament. La possibilitat de disposar de documentació original des dels mateixos inicis de l’empresa i fins als anys 30 del segle XX permet abordar la història d’un cas rellevant entre les empreses pioneres de la Revolució Industrial a Catalunya.
L’obra s’estructura bàsicament en dues parts. En la primera s’analitza la producció i el comerç de teixits i en la segona les estratègies de finançament. Pel que fa a la primera part, la tesi estudia com es produí la inversió en actius fixos (edificis i maquinària), en matèries primeres (carbó i cotó), amb quina mà d’obra es va comptar, quin tipus de teixit i quina quantitat es va arribar a produir; es fa una anàlisi en conjunt de l’evolució dels costos de producció i una estimació de la productivitat de l’empresa, i s’acaba amb aquest apartat amb una anàlisi dels aspectes comercials: clients, mercats, preus i crèdit. La segona part aborda els aspectes financers de l’activitat industrial començant per l’origen del capital industrial i seguint amb una anàlisi de la rendibilitat i de les estratègies de finançament.
Del treball es desprèn que els empresaris que van regir la Fàbrica de la Rambla van buscar sempre produir amb el mínim cost possible i obtenir el màxim ingrés. Per això no van deixar mai d’introduir les innovacions tècniques que van considerar necessàries, van buscar les matèries primeres i la mà d’obra que van considerar més apropiades i als millors preus possibles; pel mateix motiu un dels seus màxims objectius va ser la reducció dels costos i l’augment de la producció i de la productivitat per poder oferir uns preus competitius a un major nombre de clients. Però, de vegades, l’objectiu maximitzador i l’ajustament de costos i preus van xocar obertament, de manera que es va renunciar al primer. Els empresaris de la Fàbrica de la Rambla, per tant, es van haver d’adaptar a un mercat amb una demanda dèbil que els condicionava.The PhD studies the case of one of the first cotton mills that used steam as a motive force in Vilanova i la Geltrú. The company was established in 1833 but, for various vicissitudes, he could not begin to run until 1839 and towards the mid of 1960 closed its doors forever. The availability of original documentation from the beginning of the company to 30 years of the twentieth century can address the relevant history of a case among the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution in Catalonia. The work is divided into two parts. The first analyzes the production and trade of textiles and the second financing strategies. Regarding the first part of the thesis as there was investment in fixed assets, raw materials, labour recruitment, and what type and amount of fabrics was to produce, analyzes the evolution of overall production costs and made an estimate of the productivity of the company, and this section ends with an analysis of commercial side: customers, markets, prices and credit. The second part deals with the financial aspects of industrial activity starting at the origin of industrial capital and following an analysis of profitability and financing strategies. PhD shows that entrepreneurs who ruled this factory always sought to produce the lowest cost possible and get the most income. So it never ceased to introduce technical innovations which were considered necessary, sought raw materials and labor that were considered most appropriate and best possible prices, for the same reason one of its main objectives was reducing costs and increasing production and productivity in order to offer competitive prices to a greater number of customers. But sometimes the goal maximizer and adjustment costs and prices clashed openly, so he resigned first. Managers of Fàbrica de la Rambla, therefore, had to adapt to a market with weak demand that conditioned.
