Perspectives on material culture have helped promote a rich and interdisciplinary renewal of scholarship around the French Revolution. Art and artefacts from the Revolution helped to shape its polemics, and affected how it was experienced. Items including furniture, clothing and fashion, ceramics and prints of all kinds mediated events in France and transnationally, competed in a transforming cultural marketplace for everyday and luxury goods, and helped to contour the Revolution鈥檚 material legacies and memories.

A more capacious approach to material culture has contributed to the reframing of art history in this period, while historians have underlined how artisans should be accorded due recognition as makers and disseminators of unique forms of knowledge. An emphasis on material production, consumption and representation bridges more contextually focused approaches (such as social and cultural history) and more object-centred ones (such as art history and curating). Based on a collaboration between the Departments of History and History of Art at 香港六合彩中特网, this workshop seeks to showcase these trends, and to contribute to their continuation, by bringing together a range of leading international scholars to foster interdisciplinary engagement and exchange.
