The Clark Library ’s 2018–19 Core Program will shift the focus from governing regimes an d institutions to ways in which creative forms and practices were intertwi ned in the dynamics of materiality and early modern globalism. Such a prop osition directs analysis toward the flow of materials\, artifacts\, and mo tifs across borders and bodies of water. It attends to experimentation tha t activated and responded to this traffic in things\; it investigates thes e interactions as constant\, on-going processes\, thereby bringing innovat ion\, ornamentation\, improvisation\, and sensation to the fore.\n\nSuch i nteractions were given impetus by an efflorescence of cosmopolitan spaces in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These are cities\, ports\, ex hibition sites\, ships\, caravanserais\, markets\, museums\, theaters\, an d warehouses. They are spaces that are open to becoming something new\, pr ovisional instead of fixed in their form\; they are not inherently hierarc hical nor merely commercial\, but inflected by global relations of power\; they are spaces in which distance and presence are brought into considera tion with each other. They are spaces through which people of diverse ethn icities\, faiths\, and vocational interests came and went. Allowing for co nvergences\, reorientations\, and interconnections\, cosmopolitan spaces p ropelled people and artifacts in unexpected directions\, giving rise to ne w ways of thinking.\n\nIn Between Spaces will consider movement\, migratio n\, and invention through\, between\, and within early modern spaces. The papers will explore new uses for\, practices in\, and configurations of sp aces such as inns\, ships\, caravans\, islands\, warehouses\, deserts\, st reets\, and waterways. Such spaces could be in motion or transitional\, bo th isolated and connected\, and open to unpredictable forms of traffic. Th ese spaces have much to teach us about flows and commingling of materials\ , media\, motifs\, practices\, and people across and between cultures in t he early modern world.\n\nImage\nSouthern Barbarian (Nanban-jin) Boat\nFor merly attributed to Kano School (Japanese)\n17th century.
