ArgumentThrough the prism of objects and material culture, the workshop intends to highlight broad patterns of transregional circulation of people and goods crossing the boarders of Ottoman, Venetian, Russian and Habsburg Empires. The papers will present and discuss a wide variety of unpublished textual and visual sources related to luxury consumption, fashion and dress codes; diplomatical and political exchanges; dowry contracts and travel journals. New light is shed on networks of agents, merchants and diplomats negotiationg the self-fashioning of local elites whose identities are shaped by linguistic, cultural and religious practices. The workshop aims at rethinking broader interpretative categories and challenges issues of Ottomanization and Westernization, as well as linear processes of modernization and change.OrganisationThe event is co-organised by European University Institute (Florence) and New Europe College.
