Frank Georgi is an expert in the history of social movements, particularly the history of the CFDT union and self-management in France. In his lecture, Georgi will focus on the complex and contradictory relationship of the French political left, primarily the Socialist Party and the French Communist Party, as well as the trade union left, especially the CFDT and CGT unions, towards the “Yugoslav experiment” in the form of self-management, which, as a form of “cultural transfer,” moves from a country on the semi-periphery of the world system to a country at the center of that system, a state known primarily for exporting, not importing “intellectual products.” What role did the “Yugoslav experience” play in shaping, transforming, and the metamorphosis of the French left?
