Demonstration Marches in a Comparative Historical Perspective

Conference of the German Historical Institute London
Friday, 25 February and Saturday, 26 February 2005
.

Organized demonstrations have for a long time now been part of the 
established repertoire of political debate and the expression of will. 
As the case of the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe has shown, 
demonstrations can still have a crucial impact on the political 
development of a country. In parliamentary democracies, too, organized 
protest marches, for example, against the war in Iraq or globalization, 
continue to bring tens of thousands of people out on to the street.

Recognizing the significance of demonstrations, historians have 
increasingly looked at this form of political protest in recent years. 
The planned conference will build on this work and attempt an 
international comparison of organized, large-scale demonstrations over a 
longer period of time.

It will ask what similarities and differences can be found between 
demonstrations in the same country, or between marches in different 
countries. To what extent did cultural, ethnic, religious, social, and 
political traditions determined the form of demonstrations and the 
course they took? Are there any elements that are common to all marches? 
How did the symbols chosen and the rituals enacted change? What role did 
the location of the demonstration, or the route of the march play? To 
what extent did demonstrations change over time, for example, in 
reaction to developments in the media, the police, or the franchise? Did 
peaceful demonstrations achieve their goals more quickly than violent 
ones? And how can the success of a march be measured at all?

Papers should deal with a number of demonstrations and compare marches 
in one or more states. The conference will be held in London, and the 
conference language is English. Proposals for papers (no longer than one 
page in length) should reach Dr Matthias Reiss, German Historical 
Institute London, 17 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2NJ, UK 
(reiss@ghil.ac.uk) no later than *1 August 2004<. *
