“…These results demonstrated the need to closely simulate the hydrodynamic conditions prevailing in real melting processes in order to obtain representative dissolution rates in laboratory experiments. Schwartz [3] confirmed this effect of agitation for nitrided titanium bars and powders dissolved in T40-type baths. For intense stirring, the measured dissolution rates were 10 times faster than those generally reported in the literature.…”

Canadian and French university teams have joined efforts in carrying out an experimental and theoretical study of the dissolution behavior of the hard-alpha inclusion in liquid titanium alloys. Synthetic hard-alpha dense particles of up to 6 wt pct nitrogen and nitrided sponge of up to 15 wt pct nitrogen were partially dissolved in a titanium or a titanium alloy bath. The metallographic examinations and microprobe analysis show that the dissolution process is always controlled by the outward diffusion of nitrogen into the bath through an external layer of beta phase. The growth of this beta phase layer depends on the velocity of liquid flow in the bath and can lead to an initial increase in the inclusion size. For porous particles, the diffusion of nitrogen from the pellet matrix to the infiltrations gradually leads to a partial densification of the inclusion. A numerical representation of the dissolution problem was developed, including the transient diffusion of nitrogen through intermediate solid phases. The comparison is good between the numerical simulations, the experimental measurements, and the dissolution kinetics given in the literature.

“…Although not all were identified as feminist, the women politicized everyday life, and blurred the boundaries between the private and public, the domestic and the feminist, unpaid and paid work (Rowbotham, 2010 cited Hollows, n.d.). In many cases, they crafted their role as housewives, mothers and care giving into political identities and through their politics took them outside of the home and into the political arena where they created social unrest in public, challenging notions of domestic femininity (P. Schwartz, 1999). Often these food politics centered on gendered dimensions and protests were done in gendered sites, and spaces such as the market or the queue, and practices like shopping but raised issues about labor, social reproduction, and inequality.…”

“Working women demand peace and food”: Gender and class in the East London Federation of Suffragettes' food politics

In this article, we foreground how gender, class and feminism underpin the aims and modes of mobilization of the food politics of a British first wave suffragette organization, the East London Federation of Suffragettes. Our discussion shows how upper and middle‐class suffragettes excluded working‐class women and marginalized their political gendered classed interests, raising questions about feminist cross‐class solidarities today. We focus on three of East London Federation of the Suffragettes quite different modes of mobilization: embodied protests, radical welfare community organizing and food protest writing, all of which foreground class politics. In discussing three quite distinct modes of mobilization, we highlight the rich package of strategies they created and the different classed identities and struggles in these. We show the diversity of gendered and classed social roles around which the women politicked, as workers, mothers, housewives and consumers. The historical focus enables us to “see” the activities and identifications over time to understand and map their range and dynamics. Moreover, suffragette politics have a “longtail” and continue to influence feminist politics and thinking, but the working‐class mobilizing and food politics have been much less recognized and yet offer potential insights for feminist activism, including the cost‐of‐living crisis today.

“…Germans' exploitation of the French economy led to massive shortages, which mobilised the population against Vichy, the Occupier and black-market profiteers. (Diamond 1999, p. 75) Supported by communists, women organised protests against the rationing policy in 1942 (Schwartz 1999). The establishment of the Service du Travail Obligatoire -the regimented recruitment of French citizens to work in Germany -fuelled a dramatic change in public opinion that made it difficult for the institutions of repression to recruit French personnel (Simonin 2010, Joly 2013.…”

Understanding complicity: memory, hope and the imagination

This paper addresses the thorny issue of complicity with wrongdoing under conditions of systemic political violence, such as authoritarianism, totalitarianism or military occupation. The challenge of dealing with collaborators-those who colluded with the apparatus of repression or who benefitted from its existence-is central to subsequent processes of justice and memorymaking. This paper proposes several arguments. Firstly, it claims we need to think about complicity and resistance not dichotomically, but as a continuum of locations individuals can occupy. Secondly, these locations are influenced by the agents' positionality within the social world, each agent being situated at the intersection of several axes of distinction: class, gender, racialisation, and religion, among others. Thirdly, to understand complicity we also need to draw a connection between individual's experience of time and their actions: temporality is experienced from within a social position, through the interplay between memory, imagination and hope. Positionality thus affects one's memories and self-understanding, the scope of one's imagination, as well as the type and intensity of one's hopes. Therefore, individuals' capacity to build on the past to imagine a future, to invest emotionally in the future and act accordingly are interrelated aspects of their experience, which will influence how they navigate the muddy waters of systemic wrongdoing, more or less complicitly. To give concreteness to these three theoretical arguments, the paper discusses several forms of complicity with violence during the Vichy Regime in France.
