(Btw im dutch so theyre might be some weird translations here)Im taking a class on burger collectives, and I have to wright an essay on some form of burger collectives, including historiography and a potential follow up research. The problem is, this class that im taking had multipel subjects, all the ones that interested me were already taken so I am stuck with a subject dont have allot of interest in.
I was wandering if people had suggestions for a potential subject for my research wich has a historiographical debat regarding either of these to subjects: anarchism or free masonery. So the research has to be about a form of burgercollective: could be commons, guilds etc etc. But im not particular interested in those subjects. So I figured Ill take a civil society subject. The problem is that while I have some broad idee on what I would like the research, as mentioned, Im having some trouble really finding a historical debat about these subjects. I was wondering if a more experienced historian would know some potential debats including historiography.
Obviously im not asking you to write the research for me, but Ive someone knows two historians who have been in debat around on of the two subjects, that would be more then enough to get me started.
