Beschreibung:
The history of printed cottons has become a widely noticed topic at the interface between global history, history of material culture and history of commodities. In this history, the role of Switzerland has largely been neglected, although this region became one of the most important places of production of printed cottons in Europe. This paper approaches the history of these textiles both from a comparative perspective and from a perspective of gender. The paper shows that, unlike in England, the production of printed cottons was not perceived as a threat but as an advantage to the domestic economy. It illustrates that, while female consumption of these textiles was not morally questioned, cottons were not used to create a male cosmopolitan look either, as was the case in the Anglo-Saxon world.
