SUMMARY:Material Flows (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Core Program 2018–19\nMaking Worlds: Art\, Materiality\, and 
 Early Modern Globalization\n\nConference 2: Material Flows\n\n—organized
  by Bronwen Wilson (UCLA) and Angela Vanhaelen (McGill University)\n\nco-s
 ponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada 
 (SSHRC) Insight Grant\n\nNarratives of colonialism\, empire building\, and
  religious mission—of center\, periphery\, and globalization—have been
  under revision in recent years in order to nuance our understanding of wh
 at were immensely complex and multi-faceted phenomena. 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\nMaterial Flows will consider the flows\, circuitry\
 , and transformations of materials\, motifs\, styles\, artistic vocabulari
 es\, and practices across geographical boundaries. Recent considerations o
 f transnational studies and the global turn have prompted a shift away fro
 m area studies\, state formation\, and fixed borders to take into account 
 concepts such as mobility and cultural entanglement. Papers will take up a
 rtifacts and motifs\, tracing their circuitry and their paths to explore t
 he implications of global movement and material flows.\n\nImage\nSouthern
