The conference will consist of two sets of parallel paper sessions over the course of the two days. This is the first conference dedicated to the subject of political organising in the modern British Isles. The study of grassroots collective action and associational culture therefore offers an opportunity for innovative interpretations that cut across traditional subfield boundaries and help us think about ‘the political’ and ‘political history’ in new ways. The politics of organisation was intimately linked to how people thought, felt, spoke, and heard about, and did and experienced, politics. Participation in and marginalisation from political activism could be encountered socially, economically, emotionally, materially, linguistically, physically, and spatially. ![]() Associational culture encompassed and challenged a range of behaviours, belongings, communications, and sites. It will drive forward debate about the meanings, modes, extents, and locations of participatory and representational political culture and of formal and informal politics.Ĭontemporaries debated, encouraged and feared the potential power of organisational politics to politicise and mobilise, to make demands and disseminate information, or to suppress. This two-day conference will explore why, how, to what ends, and with what effects people in Britain and Ireland organised and were organised for political purposes during the long nineteenth century, one that has been seen as an age of association.
