The Material Culture of Connections in the Early Modern World

Produktbeschreibung

The Global Lives of Things considers the ways in which 'things', ranging from commodities, to works of art and precious materials, participated in the shaping of 'globalisation' in the early modern period. By focusing on the European encounters with the Americas and Australia, this volume traces the movements of objects through human networks of commerce, colonialism and curiosity. Divided into four parts, the volume considers, Objects of Global Encounters, Matter and Global Knowledge, New Consuming Habits and lastly Constructing Global Spaces.
This book will be essential reading for students of material culture and the early modern world.
