Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Summary:The peoples of Sri Lanka have participated in far-flung trading networks, religious formations, and Asian and European empires for millennia. This interdisciplinary volume sets out to draw Sri Lanka into the field of Asian and Global History by showing how the latest wave of scholarship has explored the island as a 'crossroads', a place defined by its openness to movement across the Indian Ocean. Experts in the history, archaeology, literature and art of the island from c.500 BCE to c.1850 CE use Lankan material to explore a number of pressing scholarly debates. They address these matters from their varied disciplinary perspectives and diverse array of sources, critically assessing concepts such as ethnicity, cosmopolitanism and localisation, and elucidating the subtle ways in which the foreign may be resisted and embraced at the same time.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - (Dis)connected Empires takes the reader on a global journey to explore the triangle formed during the sixteenth century between the Portuguese empire, the empire of Kotte in Sri Lanka, and the Catholic Monarchy of the Spanish Habsburgs. It explores nine decades of connections, cross-cultural diplomacy, and dialogue, to answer one troubling question: why, in the end, did one side decide to conquer the other To find the answer, Biedermann explores the imperial ideas that shaped the politics of Renaissance Iberia and sixteenth-century Sri Lanka. (Dis)connected Empires argues that, whilst some of these ideas and the political idioms built around them were perceived as commensurate by the various parties involved, differences also emerged early on. This prepared the ground for a new kind of conquest politics, which changed the inter-imperial game at the end of the sixteenth century. The transition from suzerainty-driven to sovereignty-fixated empire-building changed the face of Lankan and Iberian politics forever, and is of relevance to global historians at large. Through its scrutiny of diplomacy, political letter-writing, translation practices, warfare, and art, (Dis)connected Empires paints a troubling panorama of connections breeding divergence and leading to communicational collapse. It examines a key chapter in the pre-history of British imperialism in Asia, highlighting how diplomacy and mutual understandings can, under certain conditions, produce conquest.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This anthology explores the role that art and material goods played in diplomatic relations and political exchanges between Asia, Africa, and Europe in the early modern world. The authors challenge the idea that there was a European primacy in the practice of gift giving through a wide panoramic review of imperial encounters between Europeans (including the Portuguese, French, Dutch, and English) and Asian empires (including Ottoman, Persian, Mughal, Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Japanese cases). They examine how those exchanges influenced the global production and circulation of art and material culture, and explore the types of gifts exchanged, the chosen materials, and the manner of their presentation. Global Gifts establishes new parameters for the study of the material and aesthetic culture of Eurasian relations before 1800, exploring the meaning of artistic objects in global diplomacy and the existence of economic and aesthetic values mutually intelligible across cultural boundaries.…

Several scratches on the back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear.; Catalogue from an exhibition held at Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga from 14 June to 25 September 2022.; Beyond the basic activities of subsistence, artistic expression and games are perhaps the most decisive human endeavours in the process of civilisational evolution. The game, a focus of anthropological study, which rightly highlights its social function, being dissociated from material interests or objective utility, became essential to applied mathematics and, from there, through the theory of games, later extended to the most diverse disciplinary fields, from economy, biology and physics to political science and computing. The human being's vocation as a homo ludens is thus ancient, immemorial, with a history still to be written, but with East Asia as one of its mythical birthplaces. The first globalisation, which the Portuguese initiated in the 15th century, bringing the known continents into closer contact, was responsible for unprecedented commercial exchange at the same time as making possible an intensive circulation of culture between East and West. Therefore, we talk about crossing games, referring to those that went, those that came, and all the cultural exchanges to which they gave rise. But games are not just luxury products, artworks and fine craftsmanship, made of noble and rare materials. Games also allowed for the assimilation of forms of rationality and cultural expression, opportunities for socialising and contact, which we felt were worth exploring and bringing to light in this exhibition, in truth a rather unusual and, among us, almost unprecedented." excerpt from the introductory text by Joao Carlos Santos, Director-General for Cultural Heritage.; "Mainly sourced from private collections, this exhibition is a unique opportunity to get to know and enjoy a group of objects that are rarely accessible, the quality of which is immediately perceptible in the diversified interpretation of the codified forms of each game. Bringing it to the public would not have been possible without the generosity of those who loaned pieces, institutions but mainly private collectors - Ana and António Horta Osório, Jorge Welsh, Teresa Paramés." excerpt by the introductory text by Joaquim Oliveira Caetano, Director of the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga.…
