Orsaken till att jag åkte till England var, som jag skrev i förra inlägget, en konferens som hölls i Coventry. Nu har jag lagt upp min presentation på academia.edu, så om ni vill kan ni läsa den här.
The reason that I went to England was, as I wrote in my previous post, a conference which was held in Coventry. Now I have uploaded my paper to academia.edu, so if you want to you can read it here.
Katedralerna i Coventry, den medeltida som bombades och brann under kriget och den nya som byggdes efter kriget och sitter ihop med den gamla.
The cathedrals in Coventry. The mediaeval one which was bombed and burned during WWII and the new one which was built after the war and is attached to the old one.

Igår var en produktiv dag/ Yesterday was a productive day
Igår jobbade jag mer än vad som är riktigt nyttigt för mig, men det var mestadels roligt och jag fick mycket gjort. Först höll jag i seminarier på vår kurs i modets historia 1850-2000 och studenterna hade skrivit så trevliga papers och det var ett så trevligt seminarium att man blev alldeles upplyft av det. Sen hade jag trevlig lunch ihop med Carina Gråbacke som höll en föreläsning för dem på eftermiddagen om det svenska "modeundret", bland annat.
Efter det var planen att jag skulle gå igenom och göra de föreslagna ändringarna i en artikel som jag skrivit om inställningen till och förekomsten av främmande modeinfluenser och varor i Sverige under 1600-talet, men då sprang jag på några vänner som var på väg till en föreläsning av en gästande forskare från universitetet i Amsterdam: Peter Forshaw, som talade om studierna av västerländsk esotericism som bedrivs där. Det lät så intressant att jag hoppade på. Och det var mycket riktigt väldigt intressant, så jag blev kvar där till kvart över tre.
Så därefter var det bara att sätta sig och göra de där ändringarna i texten och 14 sidor artikel tar lite tid att gå igenom, så jag var inte färdig förrän halv sex. Men det var väldigt, väldigt skönt att ha det gjort.
Eftersom det var modekurs kände jag pressen att faktiskt fixa mig lite och satte därför upp håret i 40-talsfrisyr.
Klänningen har jag sytt själv av mjuk, borstad bomull, baserad på illustrationer från 1940-talet.
Yesterday I worked more than is really good for me, but it was mostly fun and I got a lot done. First I held a seminar with the students at our course on the history of fashion 1850-2000, where they presented short papers. The appers were good and so was the discussion, so I left feeling uplifted and good. Then I had lunch with dr Carina Gråbacke , who was going to talk to them in the afternoon; about the Swedish fashion "wonder"; among other things.
Then I was supposed to start making the suggested changes in an article I've written on the attitude towards and the existance of foregin fashion and fashionable goods in 17th century Sweden, but then I ran into some friends who were going to a guest lecture with dr Peter Forshaw from the Amsterdam University and it sounded so interesting that I joined them. It was about the study of Western esotericism and was really fascinating.
It lasted until a quarter past three and then I had to sit down and make thoise changes. I wasn't finished until half past five, but I feel very good about having done it.
Since I met the fashion students I felt the pressure to look good and put up my hair in a '40s 'do that matched my 1940s style dress in brushed cotton.

Textilhistorisk konferens nästa!/ Next stop: Conference on Textile History
I eftermiddag drar jag till Stockholm för att gå på konferens. Det är Pasold-stiftelsen som praktiskt nog håller sin internationella konferens på ett ställe som är någorlunda bekvämt att ta sig till i år. Inte lika roligt som London och Brighton, där jag var på modehistoriska konferenser förra vintern, men praktiskt som sagt. Konferensen heter Innovation before the modern: Cloth and clothing in the early modern world och innehåller massa spännande saker. Jag ska prata om klädkonsumtion bland Stockholms borgerskap under sent 1500-tal och första hälften av 1600-talet. Det är en del av det som jag har jobbat med större delen av året, med utgångspunkt från bouppteckningar från den perioden. Eller, som det står i abstractet till konferensen:
"Clothing consumption in 16th and 17th century
Stockholm
Probates and divisions of inheritance are among the few sources available regarding clothing consumption in early modern Sweden. They are especially interesting because they show consumption in social strata which are usually absent in Swedish sources, such as artisans and soldiers. The probates thus cover a social spectrum from very rich burghers and nobility down to manual workers in workshops. While not all of the probates list clothing many do, and a variety of domestic and imported materials can be found. The probates also include both men and women, and while the material is too small for a quantitative study gender differences, both regarding the amount and value of the clothing and which materials and colours were worn by either sex, will be noted and discussed. Another source to the clothing consumption of the middle and lower classes in this period is the magistrate records of Stockholm. Both these will be used in this paper. The results from the survey will also be related to Swedish sumptuary laws of the 16th and 17th centuries. It is impossible to state if the sumptuary laws were adhered too, but a tentative conclusion on whether the forbidden luxury materials were in more widespread use or if the legislators were acting more on a perceived than an actual “problem”, may be drawn. This is especially valid for the sumptuary laws of 1664, where separate versions were issued for three of the four estates."
Fast det har ändrat sig lite, vad jag ska tala om, sen jag skrev detta - det blir inga tänkeböcker och jag hann som sagt inte med hela 1600-talet.

Thsi afternoon I'm taking the train to Stockholm to attend the Pasold Research Fund's conference. It's very practical for me that it's in Stockholm this time. Not as fun and exciting as London or Brighton, where I went to conferences last winter, but convenient. The conference is called "Innovation before the modern: Cloth and clothing in the early modern world" and the programme is full of interesting things. What I am going to talk about you can see in the abstract above, though htere have been some changes since I wrote that in February, mainly due to my ill health, and I won't cover the second half of the 17th century.
