Whereas FAMOSO focused on the social-educational reform initiatives launched by the Aci\u00e9ries r\u00e9unies de Burbach-Eich-Dudelange (ARBED \u2013 United Steelworks of Burbach-Eich-Dudelange) in times of social unrest, FAMOSO-2 concentrates on how the image of future workers as good citizens of an industrialised modern Luxembourg was established, promoted and communicated by modern technologies. The FAMOSO projects therefore move beyond traditional social histories of industrialisation, labour history, social work, social welfare and social hygiene. Instead, the projects elaborate on interconnected and internationally entwined socio-cultural and body-sensorial technologies of modernity that were mediated by various modes of (re)presentation (including promotional brochures, popular magazines and visual media such as photography and film, as well as scientific practices of experimentation, display and visualisation) and involved various players. At the centre of these technologies were the human body, human-machine relationships, the shaping of modern subjects and their sensory interactions with the technosphere. The intellectual focus of FAMOSO and FAMOSO-2 is therefore the materialities and mechanisms, travels and interconnections of those technologies that gave birth to the \u201ccomplex\u201d of modern life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section no-padding-y wp-block-unilux-blocks-hero\">\n    <div class=\"hero hero--2  \">\n        \n<header class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper hero__header\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper hero__container\">\n<span class=\"hero__title__subject wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\"> <\/span>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\n&#039;Corpornation&#039;: Success story in the 2018 annual report of the FNR <\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image hero__visual object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"The FAMOSO projects\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/05\/PRIEM-FAMOSO-project-4_3.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/05\/PRIEM-FAMOSO-project-4_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/05\/PRIEM-FAMOSO-project-4_3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/05\/PRIEM-FAMOSO-project-4_3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/05\/PRIEM-FAMOSO-project-4_3.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 77.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 77.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper hero__body\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper hero__container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">The annual report 2018 of the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) features the FAMOSO projects as success stories.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/page\/T8oz1vEyei8hs\/\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >See the story here<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of <strong>FAMOSO<\/strong> and <strong>FAMOSO-2<\/strong> stood a huge holding of approximately 2,400 glass plate negatives and positives archived at the Centre national de l\u2019audiovisuel (CNA \u2013 National Audiovisual Centre). The glass plates relate to the Luxembourg steel company Aci\u00e9ries r\u00e9unies de Burbach-Eich-Dudelange (ARBED \u2013 United Steelworks of Burbach-Eich-Dudelange), a global player in the 20th-century steel and iron business. The large number of glass plates as well as the various historical traces of reproduction on their surfaces indicate the importance of the technology of photography for the company and for shaping modern Luxembourg. Luxembourg\u2019s industrialists and their families were eager to become a modern entrepreneurial elite and to assume a leading role in the design of a modern society. One of their main goals was to emotionally and physically connect the workers to industrial production, thus changing mentalities and cultural values. Industrial families became efficient reformers and multipliers who, by using manifold channels of communication and modern technologies, could easily outperform government officials, traditionalist church representatives and political decision-makers. They thereby found themselves in fierce competition with socialist and communist workers\u2019 associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nThe FAMOSO projects are based on the following research strands:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One strand<\/strong> examines how workers\u2019 bodies and senses were mapped, measured and shaped by social-educational initiatives. Here, the focus is on the mechanical registration of human bodies in the context of labour sciences and psychometric technologies and on how these new science-based approaches became a key part of professional guidance and vocational training. A related research perspective looks at workers\u2019 bodies as \u201csensuous geographies\u201d and traces the creation of \u201cembodied relations\u201d in the context of industrial production. A major finding of the FAMOSO projects is that sensory learning processes encoded moral values and evoked intimacy and feelings of ownership rather than alienation. Exploring the methods and mechanisms associated with this seemingly absent and subtle disciplinary regime is a theme that connects the different lines of research within the FAMOSO projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another strand<\/strong> of FAMOSO deals with the analysis of visual materials and looks at how different media played an instrumental role in shaping identities and subjectivities in times of industrialisation. One sub-strand investigates the different ways in which industrial work and the working man\u2019s body was depicted and displayed in various media and artistic genres by the labour movement and industrial stakeholders. Here, we look at the shifting motifs and the way they appeared in the media. Artistic productions and their reproductions were part of an overarching discourse on the making of the new worker and the working class that was at the heart of the nation-building process and national identity formation. At an individual level this included the acquisition of cultural memories, values and behaviours. A second sub-strand looks at photographs as social and relational objects that reach out to audiences and take part in meaning-making processes. These processes can also be traced through the CNA\u2019s glass plate holdings by focusing on photography\u2019s significant role as a mobile tool of communication. The glass plates in the CNA holdings appeared in different modes of reproduction and in various media; reaching out to different viewers and audiences, they helped shape societal and corporate hierarchies and thus also helped construct subjectivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, <strong>a third strand<\/strong> of research looks at ARBED\u2019s international iron and steel connections and its expansion to global markets. After the First World War, ARBED established the sales company COLUMETA (Comptoir m\u00e9tallurgique luxembourgeois), which also had a branch office in Japan. A first sub-strand takes a look at this adventurous personal, financial and economic endeavour as a difficult intercultural encounter that also affected diplomatic ties between Luxembourg and Japan. Connections between ARBED, Luxembourg and Japan are also analysed in the context of Aline Mayrisch\u2019s trips to Japan and the collection of photographs she assembled during these journeys in 1930 and 1934. A second sub-strand looks at the transatlantic entanglements of ARBED and how the company served as a model for social-educational reform in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, where ARBED established a steel company in 1921. It examines how utopian social ideas and economic rationales travelled around the globe and thus became intertwined with local cultures and national political agendas. More particularly, this transformation process is analysed as an applied economy of bodies and minds aimed at establishing a utopian corpor(n)ation which, in turn, was promoted as a successful model for modern Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FAMOSO Publications (2013\u20132018)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Dittrich, Klaus. \u201cSelling Luxembourgian Steel in Japan: Columeta Tokyo, 1925 to 1941.\u201d Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Unternehmensgeschichte 61 (2016): 215\u201336.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">\u2014\u2014\u2014. \u201cBuddhism, Business, and Red-Cross Diplomacy: Aline Mayrisch-de Saint Hubert\u2019s Journeys to East Asia in the Interwar Period.\u201d In Priem and Herman, Fabricating Modern Societies.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Hadzalic, Irma. \u201cSick and Weak But Made of Steel: Luxembourgian Open-Air Schools and Other Responses to the Spread of Tuberculosis at the Beginning of the 20th Century.\u201d Revista de Hist\u00f3ria e Historiografia da Educa\u00e7\u00e3o 1, no. 1 (2017): 44\u201364.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">\u2014\u2014\u2014. \u201cTransatlantic Iron Connections: Education, Emotion, and the Making of a Productive Workforce in Minas Gerais, Brazil (ca. 1910\u20131960).\u201d In Priem and Herman, Fabricating Modern Societies.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Herman, Frederik. \u201cForging Harmony in the Social Organism: Industry and the Power of Psychometric Techniques.\u201d History of Education 43, no. 5 (2014): 592\u2013614.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Herman, Frederik, and Ira Plein. \u201cEnvisioning the Industrial Present: Pathways of Cultural Learning in Luxembourg (1880s\u20131920s).\u201d Paedagogiga Historica 53, no. 3 (2017): 268-284.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Herman, Frederik, and Karin Priem. \u201cThe Eye of the Machine: Labour Sciences and the Mechanical Registration of the Human Body.\u201d In Priem and Herman, Fabricating Modern Societies.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-left:36.0pt\">Herman, Frederik, Karin Priem, and Geert Thyssen. \u201cBody_Machine?
