your organisation is interested, we invite you to attend
our symposium and, if you wish, to make a contribution.
The ICOMAM symposium will be held in Brussels, is hosted

Uniforms are a core element in
collections held at the majority of arms and military
museums and institutes. However, this is the first time
that ICOMAM will be discussing this textile heritage from
a variety of scientific approaches. The aim will be to
place the (military) uniform in a wider context, so as to
allow room for socio-cultural and ethnographic studies,
as well as lectures with an (art) historical,
museological or economic basis. ICOMAM
welcomes its members to these workshops, and, in
particular, would like to invite clothing and textiles
museums, and ethnographic and folk museums to help
unravel the uniform in all of its aspects. Subjects likely to be covered:
-
Historical perspective: the problem of identifying and
authenticating uniform collections; the history of
uniform collections from suit of armour to camouflage
dress; the history of a particular or special uniform. -
Art-historical perspective: military fashion versus
civilian fashion, mutual influences; vision of the ideal
image of male beauty from 1600 to the present, royal
dress versus uniform, traditional folk costume versus
uniform... -
Socio-cultural perspective: the language of the uniform:
the significance of colours and decorations (marks of
honour, embroidery, braids
). -
Ethnographic perspective: comparative studies of
traditional costume, and national, state and military
uniforms, in the West and elsewhere. -
Economic perspective: organising an army (nationally) in
terms of equipping the soldier and developing textile
industry. -
Military perspective: military techniques and kit
requirements for the military, past and present. -
Museological perspective: exhibition of costume, past and
present. Please find enclosed a Registration
form and a Call for lectures. Given the limited number of
places available, we ask that all interested parties
signal their intent as quickly as possible. You will be
sent a final registration form early in 2006. We hope to welcome you! On behalf of the organisation

Les uniformes au passé, au
présent et au futur
Symposium ICOMAM, Bruxelles, 18 20 octobre
2006
Madame, Monsieur, Les uniformes constituent en
général une collection-clé dans la plupart des musées
d'armes et des institutions possédant des collections
militaires. Ce sera cependant la première fois que le
patrimoine textile fera lobjet dune étude au
sein de lICOMAM. Nous désirons replacer
luniforme (militaire) dans un contexte plus large,
qui fera la place aux études socio-culturelles et
ethnographiques autant quaux conférences à
caractère muséologique et économique. LICOMAM
accueille non seulement ses membres à ces journées
détudes, mais invite également les musées de
costumes et de textiles, ethnographiques et populaires
afin de découvrir luniforme sous toutes ses
coutures. Thèmes
pouvant être abordés: -
Approche historique: problématiques
didentification et dauthenticité des
collections duniformes, histoire des collections
duniformes de l'armure jusquà la tenue
camouflée, histoire dun uniforme particulier ou
spécifique. -
Approche esthétique: mode militaire et mode civile,
influences réciproques ; vision de lidéal de
beauté masculine de 1600 à 2000, vêtements de cour et
uniforme, costumes traditionnels et uniforme,... -
Approche socio-culturelle: langage de luniforme:
signification des couleurs et signes distinctifs (signes
honorifiques, broderie, galons,...) -
Approche ethnographique: études comparatives de costumes
traditionnels, uniformes nationaux, tenues officielles
civiles et militaires, à louest et ailleurs. -
Approche économique: léquipement du soldat et ses
conséquences économiques ; développement de
lindustrie textile. -
Approche technique: techniques de guerre et besoins en
équipement militaire, hier et aujourdhui. -
Approche muséologique: exposition des costumes dans le
passé et aujourdhui. Vous trouverez ci-joint un formulaire dinscription et un Appel à communications, au moyen desquels vous pouvez dores et déjà signaler votre participation. Le nombre de places étant limité, nous vous demandons de réagir le plus rapidement possible. Un formulaire dinscription définitif sera envoyé début 2006. Nous espérons votre présence
nombreuse. Pour le comité organisateur, Ilse
