Experiencing Exclusion
In 1952, while working on my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, two men from the Department of State came to our apartment and picked up my passport and that of my husband, Chandler Davis. In 1962, Chandler was finally allowed to immigrate to Canada with his family and take up a professorship at the University of Toronto. The ten years in between were packed with politics: Chandler’s refusal to answer questions before the House Un-American Acti…
The Material Creativity of Affective Artifacts in the Dutch Colonial World
Feathers and the Making of Luxury Experiences at the Sixteenth‐Century Spanish Court ☆
This article charts the activities of featherworkers ( plumajeros ) at the Habsburg court in Madrid. Drawing on archival records, objects, and paintings from sixteenth‐century Spain, I argue that royal featherworkers' skills, wit, and intricacy in the transformation of materials established feathers as luxury items. In sixteenth‐century Spanish court society, feathers evoked sensory experiences that provoked emotions, staged civility, and materia…
Gendering the Material Renaissance
Focusing on almost 9,000 receipts issued by the ducal chancery of Friedrich I and Johann Friedrich of Württemberg between 1593 and 1628, this article charts the industriousness and material creativity of female makers and consumers in Protestant Württemberg. It provides a detailed discussion of craftswomen’s lives, materials, networks, artefacts and earnings and relates them to the duchesses’ strategies of consumption. The article examines women’…

The Fabric of Resistance
This monograph uncovers the fascinating story of the textile workshop (obraje) in Pomacocha, located in the Ayacucho region, Peru. After its foundation in 1689, the workshop developed into a thriving hub of textile production fueling the vibrant cross-Andean cloth trade. More than a hundred working families lived in Pomacocha, subjugated to the colonial regimes of debt slavery, forced labor, bondage, and prison labor. The Fabric of Resistance is …
Resounding the Sublime
The sublime was a key category in aesthetic thought and practice in the long eighteenth century; but what did it sound like? By recovering the sounding variety of tones and noises of the discourse of the sublime, Miranda Stanyon reveals ‘how integral music was to forming and transforming the sublime [...] in rhetoric, philosophy, and literature’ (p. 2). She rejects a discursive prerogative of literature and philosophy over music, as is so often s…
Face‐Work
Bringing gender history, the history of the body and art history into a conversation with material culture studies, this article argues that the sudden fashionability of beards in Renaissance Europe has been intricately linked with a culture of material and visual experimentation. I propose shifting perspectives from a focus on the symbolism of beards towards examining how early modern ways of material engagement with the matter of hair crafted a…
Knowledge Production, Image Networks, and the Material Significance of Feathers in Late Humanist Heidelberg
Examining the three volumes of birds assembled by Marcus zum Lamm (1544–1606), a Calvinist lawyer, court official, and church councillor in Heidelberg, this article explores visual and material cultures at a Calvinist court. We argue that Lamm was a pioneer in the production of new ornithological knowledge, an entrepreneur and enthusiast who experimented with colors and the arts in order to develop a means of representation that captured the vibr…
Ottoman Language Learning in Early Modern Germany
This article presents new evidence on the authorship and readership of the earliest printed Ottoman language materials that details the extent to which sixteenth- and seventeenth-century inhabitants of the Holy Roman Empire actively engaged in learning Ottoman. Such findings open up a new field of inquiry evaluating the Ottoman impact on the German-speaking lands reaching beyond the so-called “Turkish menace.” Presenting the variety of Ottoman la…
Lepanto in the Americas
This paper reveals the voices, logics, and consequences of sixteenth-century American storytelling about the Battle of Lepanto; an approach that decenters our perspective on the history of that battle. Central and South American storytelling about Lepanto, I argue, should prompt a reconsideration of historians’ Mediterranean-centered storytelling about Lepanto—the event—by studying the social dynamics of its event-making in light of early modern …
Material Encounters
This article discusses the early modern nexus between feather-work and textiles with a focus on Spanish Peru. Whilst Peruvian feather-work has been defined as pre-Columbian, this article presents new textual, visual, and material evidence that shows its significance in the material culture of colonial Peru, which serves to initiate a broader debate on the dynamics of cultural encounters in the Ibero-American world. I chart the development of craf…
Hair, Emotions and Slavery in the Early Modern Habsburg Mediterranean
This article charts the cultural, religious, social, gendered and medical meanings of hair in scenes of Habsburg-Ottoman cultural exchanges. In particular, it examines the links between medicinal knowledge about hair and the ways in which Habsburg and Ottoman subjects addressed bodily concerns whilst living as captives in the Ottoman or Habsburg Empires. Connecting the early modern body with the trade in early modern captive bodies, this article …
The Fetish of Accuracy
‘On the whole’, Lucien Febvre states, ‘they were the ways of a peasant society, which accepted the fact that it would never know the exact time except when the bell rang (assuming it was set properly) and otherwise referring to plants and animals, to the flight or song of some bird’. Febvre assembles a variety of sixteenth-century examples that underpin his observation that ‘we find fancifulness, imprecision, inexactness everywhere, the doing of …

Timing the Self in Sixteenth-Century Augsburg
This article explores the interrelated notions of time and the self in sixteenth-century Augsburg. It focuses on Veit Konrad Schwarz, a young Augsburg patrician, and his ‘Little Book of Clothes’ (1561). Veit circumvented the invisibility of time by making the material culture of temporality an essential part of his self-representation. The visual representation of timing the self was a significant skill, and self-narratives such as Veit’s served …
War and Peace
This article challenges and reconsiders one of the most popular narratives of the historiography of the Battle of Lepanto; that ever since the ‘Holy League’ of Spain, Venice, Rome and several smaller Catholic principalities defeated the Ottomans in the Ionian Sea in October 1571, historians assumed that the reason the Holy Roman Empire did not support the league was a direct consequence of the Reformation. Strong Protestant interests at court and…
