Mapping Fashion Savoir Faire

Craft, Space and Scale 16th 21st centuries

This international conference aims to examine the spatial dimension of the crafts associated with fashion and dress. In the wake of developments brought about by global history, it intends to turn its attention to the spatial dimension of fashion crafts. The recent spatial turn and the spread of data visualisation tools provide an opportunity to rethink fashion crafts. From modelling the workplaces of fashion designers from the past to the present day, to representing the flows, locations and spatial dynamics that characterize fashion professions on the scale of a street, a city or a continent, crafts and the making of fashion also shape landscapes just as much as they are shaped by territories and their physical and environmental characteristics. Continuing the debate on the forms of exhibition, museography and mediation, the issue of how these questions are reflected in museums will be a key area of study for this conference.

The Royal Coffers. Approaches to European Monarchies and their financial behavior between 1650 and 1950

This workshop aims to examine the intricate networks and economic practices of monarchical families and courts throughout Europe. In this context, we seek to examine how monarchies attained and preserved revenue and wealth, what practices they employed and if these practices were changed, adapted or abandoned over time. At the same time, we also seek to examine how such practices were perceived and debated by both individuals outside of the royal courts and the general public. The workshop will take place from the 4th to 6th of March 2026 in Darmstadt.

Indigenous Peoples in Global Politics

Monções: Revista de Relações Internacionais da UFGD

This special issue aims to gather contributions from researchers studying indigenous peoples in international politics. We particularly – though not exclusively – encourage submissions on topics such as: How does the political action of indigenous peoples yield pressure on traditional concepts such as politics, sovereignty, international cooperation, and global governance? To what extent and through what mechanisms do these practices subvert or are co-opted by the hegemonic structures of the international system? In what ways do indigenous philosophies and worldviews challenge the colonial logics of the Anthropocene, extractivism, and the geopolitics of knowledge?

Literature, Spiritualities and the Politics of Meaning in Liberal Italy, 1861–1915 (Romance Studies)

This special issue examines the intersections of literature, spirituality, and politics in Italian culture between 1861, the year of Italian unification, and 1915, a symbolic threshold that, for Italy, marked both the onset of the war and the collapse of its liberal order. This period witnessed a profound epistemological crisis, as traditional structures of knowledge and belief were increasingly destabilized by the pressures of modernization, secularization, and rapid ideological and social change.

A History of Textile Cleanliness: Washing and Perfuming Fabrics from the Medieval to the Modern Period

This international conference seeks to explore the history of textile cleaning from a global perspective and its interplay with hygiene, olfaction, social opinion, aesthetic preferences, quality expectations, ecological issues, and economic imperatives, all of which are inherent to fabrics. It aims to investigate the various practices and their part in the everyday experience of life in the past. Who were the people involved in the daily or extraordinary cleaning of fabrics, and which ingredients and tools were used? What knowledge about textiles and their care was shared at the time, and how was it transmitted? How did these practices evolve?
