Description
How did different identities dress in antiquity and the Middle Ages? Where did raw materials come from and how were they traded? What do we know about dress codes in antiquity and how do they live on in the Middle Ages? These and other questions of the material cultural history of textiles and clothing will be explored in this lecture using selected visual sources and other media. The following aspects are of particular interest and form focal points of the lecture:
- Basic knowledge of the history and functions of gender clothing
- Emergence of the production conditions of textiles and clothing
- Conveyance of the world and human image of the time periods
- Fashion and communication; rituals, gestures and dress languages
- History of economic and distribution processes, technical inventions
- Clothing and identity in the Roman Empire
- Clothing as a metaphor in the sources
- Dress codes of antiquity
- Raw materials and their processing
- Contemporary relevance of historical development
