Η μισθωτή εργασία ως προνομιακό πεδίο για τη συγκρότηση κοινωνικών κινημάτων στο Μεσοπόλεμο ; Waged labour as the privileged locus for the construction of social movements in the inter-war period

Δεν διατίθεται περίληψη στα ελληνικά ; The paper focuses on three social movements which are all centred around waged labour and have been active in Greece during the inter-war period: the workers’ movement, the employees’ movement and the feminist movement. Each movement is examined in respect to the process through which it has developed its ideology and its forms of organisation and action, as well as its evolution over time. The relations between them are also considered as well as their internal diversifications that were denied by the official homogenising discourse yet more evident at the social and cultural level. Consequently, it is argued that the course of these movements was determined by two interrelated factors: the changes in the conditions that had favoured their initial development, especially at the level of the state, and the deepening of their internal contradictions. Political developments at the end of the period led to new priorities and to changes in focus from issues of waged labour to issues of democracy.
