Description

The Global Lives of Things

The Global Lives of Things considers the ways in which âthingsâ ranging from commodities to works of art and precious materials participated in the shaping of global connections in the period 1400-1800. By focusing on the material exchange between Asia Europe the Americas and Australia this volume traces the movements of objects through human networks of commerce colonialism and consumption. It argues that material objects mediated between the forces of global economic exchange and the constantly changing identities of individuals as they were drawn into global circuits. It proposes a reconceptualization of early modern global history in the light of its material culture by asking the question: what can we learn about the early modern world by studying its objects? This exciting new collection draws together the latest scholarship in the study of material culture and offers students a critique and explanation of the notion of commodity and a reinterpretation of the meaning of exchange. It engages with the concepts of âproto-globalizationâ âthe first global ageâ and âcommodities/consumptionâ. Divided into three parts the volume considers in Part One Objects of Global Knowledge in Part Two Objects of Global Connections and finally in Part Three Objects of Global Consumption. The collection concludes with afterwords from three of the leading historians in the field Maxine Berg Suraiya Faroqhi and Paula Findlen who offer their critical view of the methodologies and themes considered in the book and place its arguments within the wider field of scholarship. Extensively illustrated and with chapters examining case studies from Northern Europe to China and Australia this book will be essential reading for students of global history. . Language: English
