We cordially invite you to our next conference in the 'Queens, Noblewomen, and Burgher Women in the Middle Ages' series, focusing this time on 'Communication, Cooperation, and Confrontation'. Organised jointly by the Institute of Art History and the Institute for Czech Literature, both of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the conference will take place at the Academic Conference Centre in Prague (Husova 4a, Prague) on 16–17 October.
Medieval women were not isolated figures in society. As part of a complex system of personal, ideological and material relations, they lived and worked within various networks. The terms 'communication, cooperation and confrontation' can serve as analytical categories for understanding how women exerted influence and power, gained support to achieve their goals and navigated social, economic and other obstacles. This conference seeks to apply these analytical categories to the investigation of the manifold relations between medieval women and material culture in the broadest sense. The conference organisers invite all members of the academic community to attend.
