On 4th-5th June 2018 I participated in the international workshop “People, Objects and Languages across the Empires: Interference and Circulations of Words and Images in Premodern Societies”. The workshop (part of the LuxFaSS research project) took place at New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study, Bucharest. My paper was entitled “Αι των Πραγμάτων Μόδαι”: New Words for Novel Practices”.
