BETWEEN SALONS AND TRENCHES
Between Salons and Trenches. Social Histories and Sociologies of the Military Uniform is an international seminar organized by the Faculty of Sociology, Centre de civilisation française et d’études francophones, Warsaw University and Společnost pro výzkum dějin vojenství.
Despite a large number of publications about the army clothing, only a few of them employ the social perspective or deal with the cultural meaning of uniforms. The meeting is an attempt to draw the interest to those understudied research areas. At the seminar, scholars from Czech Republic, France and Poland will discuss issues related to the history of the modern military uniform, in order to map out and connect the research areas for historical, anthropological and sociological studies of military uniforms.
