Mainly related to women, such culture is often considered \u2018modest\u2019 in comparison to male productions. Of particular interest is the positioning of these activities within the everyday, at the intersection of art&nbsp;<em>versus<\/em>&nbsp;labour, and culture&nbsp;<em>versus<\/em>&nbsp;history, together with their materiality, and their ability to communicate in non-verbal and non-textual ways that endows them with such potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bringing together researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds (history, art history, anthropology, archaeology, economics, sociology, geography, visual arts, etc.),&nbsp;the main objective of the conference is to reflect on how a new set of material objects and practices can offer \u201cnew sites\u201d and encourage innovative \u201ccritical pedagogies\u201d from which to write gendered and subaltern histories<a>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In line with this approach, the&nbsp;<em>Weaving Histories from Below Conference&nbsp;<\/em>organisers&nbsp;call for abstracts studying needlework activities from diverse perspectives:&nbsp;&nbsp;as forms of autobiography\/biography; as markers, makers of identity, both individual and collective; as discourses on history and on the past; as memory-building tools; as forms of resistance and disruption; as ways of negotiating\/renegotiating complex identities; etc. They also expect proposals that consider, in their tangible dimension (both social and economic), these generally artisanal or artistic activities (which places and modes of production? Which networks? marketing channels? organisation of the workforce? etc.) \u2014 activities which often lead to the creation of gendered communities (women&#8217;s cooperatives, for example), of gendered identities and spaces (feminine, or possibly queer, non-binary); etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This list is&nbsp;of course&nbsp;not exhaustive and all proposals in line with the theme will be welcomed.
