  Denim on stage

  University meets industry at Denim City in Amsterdam

  The aim of this one-day conference is to explore the evolution of denim from its origins in the French town of Nîmes, through the American invention of the modern blue jeans, to the contemporary global manufacturing and marketing of denim and jeans. Blue denim jeans are the most worn garments in the world. Even though denim is often perceived as a symbol of American culture, the denim fabric originated in Europe and has a long history. Yet it was only when denim trousers were riveted that the first modern pair of jeans were created in the late XIX^th century. Since this invention, jeans have made grand transformations from a worker’s garment, through a uniform of non-conformity and youth protest, to an item of fashion design. Recently, the Netherlands has become an international marketing cluster for the global denim industry.

  Friend or Foe: Art and the Market in the Nineteenth Century

  The attitudes towards art dealers in the nineteenth century are rather diverse. The aim of this conference is to bring together case studies from a wide variety of (inter)national, chronological and artistic contexts which critically examine both the (alleged) impact of nineteenth-century art dealers on the art world and the sites of resistance towards this impact.

  Towards a New History of World War II?

  The history of WWII has been being written for the last 70 years. Witnesses, historians, actors, writers and many others have constructed our representation of the event. How will the WWII historiography evolve in Belgium and the Netherlands? How should historians interact with memorial politics and new media? Is it still relevant to consider WWII as a separate topic for research? How do digital humanities play a role? The latter are but a small number among the many questions that will be discussed at this international congress.

  Économie(s) de la collection naturaliste au XVIIIe siècle

  XIVe congrès international d’étude du XVIIIe siècle (ISECS), Section 7 / panel 4

  Au cours du XVIII^e siècle, l’étude de l’histoire naturelle connaît un essor considérable et devient une mode sociale et culturelle, dont la collection de spécimens des trois règnes se fait l’indispensable corollaire. Véritable dispositif de savoir, le cabinet se présente comme un espace de reproduction mimétique du monde naturel, dont il donne à voir et à lire, sur le mode de l’abrégé, la complexité de l’ordre naturel ainsi que ses beautés. Mais l’engouement concerne également des dispositifs de collection plus spécifiques, et de taille plus modeste comme, par exemple, l’herbier. Notre séance se propose de questionner les différentes formes de l’économie de la collection naturaliste au XVIII^e siècle. Il sera donc question d’interroger la circulation, l’échange et de la consommation d’objets d’histoire naturelle dans une perspective intellectuelle, sociale, monétaire et symbolique.
