Léon Jouhaux, Louis Saillant and the national and international in transnational trade unionism
The history of transnational trade unionism has been analysed in terms of mutual assistance, regulating global capital, augmenting the legitimacy, prestige and power of unions and their leaders, and providing avenues for states to prosecute national interests. From the 1920s to the 1980s, international organisations of trade unionists constituted a site of struggle between the antagonistic philosophies of transnationalism and trade unionism of Communists, social democrats and liberals, the USSR and the capitalist democracies.

Ethics in the Theory of Social Representations
There are different ways in which the question ‘what makes humans distinct from other species?’
can be answered. One way is to refer to the ability of humans to reason and make rational
decisions; another is to point to the capacity of humans to speak and express themselves in
symbols; or to imagine future events and be aware of their mortality; and so on. I propose to
focus here on the capacity of humans to make ethical choices and to view this as a feature of
common sense knowledge and to that extent, as a feature of the theory of social representations.

The turn to transnational labor history and the study of global trade unionism

San Francisco’s Chinatown Community: A World Apart
LOC/AMP |
Despite Chinatown’s shady reputation, it was a tight-knit community whose residents were familiar with one another. Parents allowed their children, who were highly cherished (especially since there were so few of them due to the early lack of women and families), to roam the streets without supervision during the day. The sense of all of Chinatown as being a children’s playground was deftly captured by the photographer Arnold Genthe, who considered Chinese children to be some of his favorite subjects.
The Emergence of Modern Psychology in China, 1876 – 1922
In Western countries modern psychology originated out of the convergence of philosophy and science,
embedded in the social change. Modern psychology in China did not grow out of an indigenous socio-cultural
root, but was instead imported from Western countries approximately during 1876 to 1922, when China was
being colonized and reformed. A political, social and cultural analysis explains the emergence and formation of
modern psychology in China

In 1937, Penfield introduced an entirely new concept for illustrating the relative sizes and locations of discrete functional regions within the sensorimotor cortex–—the homunculus—to exemplify the “order and comparative extent” of specific functional regions.

Rather, they were volunteers preparing for a nearly yearlong experiment on the psychological and physiological effects of starvation. Known as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, the study was a project of the newly established Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota, an interdisciplinary research institution with an emphasis on nutrition and human biology.
