Things on the Move - Dinge unterwegs

Objects in Early Modern Cultural Transfer. Edited by Ulrike Gleixner and Marília dos Santos Lopez in Collaboration with Lisa Neumann.

This volume wants to contribute to the history of material culture in a transcultural perspective. In tracing the physical and cultural trajectories of objects it will add to the greater project of a global history. In various ways, the contributions pursue five perspectives: 1. travelling objects in transcultural interaction between Europe and Asia, Africa or the Americas; 2. the cultural transformation of objects themselves during their travel; 3. objects created in transcultural collaboration; 4. knowledge-making based on widely travelled objects, 5. the perspective of material geography. The contributions deal with commodities of daily use, luxury articles, religious objects and written documents. - Contents: Ulinka Rublack: Moving Feathers in the Material Renaissance. - Anna Grasskamp: Korallen unterwegs.
