Collecting Across Cultures by Daniela Bleichmar
Material Exchanges in the Early Modern Atlantic World
This insightful work delves into the intricate dynamics of collecting practices during the early modern period, focusing on the exchange and accumulation of objects across different cultures. It explores how these practices were not merely acts of acquisition but were deeply intertwined with the broader processes of knowledge production, imperial expansion, and cultural encounters. By examining the movement of artifacts, specimens, and artworks across continents, the book reveals the complex interplay between collectors, indigenous peoples, and the objects themselves, highlighting how these interactions shaped both European and non-European understandings of the world.
