An International conference organised by Mary Harlow and Cécile Michel. Secretary: Louise Quillien

GDRI Ancient Textiles from the Orient to the Mediterranean (ATOM)

Textiles et genre s’entrecroisent à plusieurs niveaux, depuis la transformation des matières premières en tissu, jusqu’aux vêtements, et à la construction des identités. Les contributions à ce colloque examineront la division du travail selon le genre dans la production de textiles, ainsi que les attitudes à l’égard de l’habillement et du genre à travers le Proche-Orient et la culture méditerranéenne dans l’Antiquité (depuis 3000 av. J.-C.), en mettant en valeur les associations interculturelles et culturelles spécifiques.
