Presentation
The workshop seeks to open an academic dialogue about the origins, development and decline of the wave of revolutionary violence of the New Left in Latin America and Europe. The workshop favors the adoption of transnational perspectives that explore influences and links - ideological, material and personal- between organizations and revolutionary groups within and between the two continents. We are especially interested in such issues as the spread of ideas and repertoires of action, the collaboration, support or solidarity between organizations, and comparative perspectives that would allow us to find possible common patterns of emergence, development and disappearance of armed groups within the wave of the "New Left".
The wokshop will have two parts. During the first day, senior scholars will lead a seminar on Transnational Perspectives on Political Violence Research that will explore the state of contemporary scholarship on the New Left. The second day will be dedicated to the presentation of lines of research - of individual researchers or research teams- in order to build an international network among scholars in Latin America, Europe and the United States engaged in the comparative study of political violence and revolutionary mobilization between 1960 and 1990.
