The Proletarianizing of the Fonctionnaires: Civil Service Workers and the Labor Movement under the Third Republic.

1990réf. 1927glsBaton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press 1990. First Edition First Printing as stated. Octavo blue cloth hardcover silver letters x 394 pp. Fine As New in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: French civil servants or fonctionnaires were the first state workers in a modern industrial nation to organize unionize and strike. From a handful of militant teachers and postal workers grew a well-organized and powerful political force a group with a highly developed class consciousness and a strong alliance with its blue-collar counterparts. Judith Wishnia’s penetrating study covers the period from 1884 when blue-collar workers in France were first permitted to unionize to 1940 when the Third Republic collapsed. Her work focuses on lower-level state workers -- postal service employees teachers clerks in the finance offices police -- those who keep the machinery of the state operating. Wishnia stresses the foctionnaires search for a political identity and idealogy; their class through the major labor federation the CGT; and their emergence as an important force within the CGT and in national politics. She shows that as the expansion of state employment increased routinization work and lowered wages French fonctionnaires became more conscious of their position as hired workers victims of exploitation by the state just as other workers were exploited by their bosses. She further shows that the political and economic events of the time -- the Great War the inflation of the 1920s the depression of the 1930s and the threat of fascism -- affected the fonctionnaires political involvement. Wishnia also examines the changing role of women in the labor force. She documents the vital role women often played in the development of fonctionnaire unionism and demonstrates the existence of a more widespread and more working-class feminism that is generally recognized. Wishnia’s analysis emphasizes the important connections between experience in the workplace and broader political and economic developments in determining working class consciousness and activity. Her book makes a valuable contribution to the study of the modern working class and the relationship of the state to workers in both the public and the private sectors.

This ground-breaking new book and the exhibition it accompanies trace the history of a revolutionary idea: that fine art should attain the abstract purity of music. Over the past one hundred years some of the most adventurous modern and contemporary artists have explored unorthodox means to invent a kinetic non-representational art modeled upon pure instrumental music. Music has inspired some of the most progressive art of our time—from the abstract painting of Wassily Kandinsky and Frantisek Kupka to the mid-century experimental films of Oskar Fischinger and Harry Smith to contemporary installations by Jennifer Steinkamp and Jim Hodges. While early abstract paintings tended to approach music metonymically the color organs films light shows and installations from the mid-twentieth century to the present day engage a range of perceptual faculties simultaneously to create a plethora of sensations in the viewer. The most complete examination of this phenomenon to date Visual Music features ninety major works of art plus related documentation focusing on abstract and mixed-media art and the connections to musical forms as varied as classical jazz and electronic. The book includes three scholarly essays each discussing a distinct art historical period in depth and an additional essay by Olivia Mattis that approaches the subject from a musicologist's perspective as well as a chronology artist biographies and a selected bibliography. 250 illustrations 200 in color.
