Material Visual Cultures of Dress in European Courts
(1300-1815)- Château de Versailles (France) - 4-5-6 June 2009
An international symposium devoted to the
material and visual cultures of dress in the
European courts (1300-1815) will be held in
Versailles between the 4th and the 6th of June
2009. At the same time a big exhibition on court
costumes (17th-18th centuries) will be held at
the Versailles Palace (spring 2009). The
symposium will deal with topics related to
clothing in European courts with a larger
chronological time frame, from the end of the
Middle Ages, when a « body of fashion » was
established and when the courts began to expand.
It ends with the last splendour of the French imperial court.
The symposium of Versailles will give the
opportunity to survey the current state of
research in this field, consider the evolutions
between 1300 and 1815, compare the courts and
grasp their mutual influences. The conference
will be at the crossroads of several fields of
research: the Court Studies that have shown the
court to be a central site of power and culture;
the history of material culture and consumption;
lastly the fields of the culture of appearances and those of visual cultures.
The symposium looks at three topics:
The royal and princely wardrobes in Europe (1300-1815)
The pictures of the way of dressing at courts in Europe (1300-1815)
The court dress put on stage: stage, screen, podium (20th-21st c.)
