SUMMARY:Other Worlds (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Core Program 2018–19\nMaking Worlds: Art\, Materiality\, and 
 Early Modern Globalization\n\nConference 3: Other Worlds\n\n—organized b
 y Bronwen Wilson (UCLA) and Angela Vanhaelen (McGill University)\n\nco-spo
 nsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (S
 SHRC) Insight Grant\n\nNarratives of colonialism\, empire building\, and r
 eligious mission—of center\, periphery\, and globalization—have been u
 nder revision in recent years in order to nuance our understanding of what
  were immensely complex and multi-faceted phenomena. The Clark Library’s
  2018–19 Core Program will shift the focus from governing regimes and in
 stitutions to ways in which creative forms and practices were intertwined 
 in the dynamics of materiality and early modern globalism. Such a proposit
 ion directs analysis toward the flow of materials\, artifacts\, and motifs
  across borders and bodies of water. It attends to experimentation that ac
 tivated and responded to this traffic in things\; it investigates these in
 teractions as constant\, on-going processes\, thereby bringing innovation\
 , ornamentation\, improvisation\, and sensation to the fore.\n\nSuch inter
 actions were given impetus by an efflorescence of cosmopolitan spaces in t
 he seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These are cities\, ports\, exhibi
 tion sites\, ships\, caravanserais\, markets\, museums\, theaters\, and wa
 rehouses. They are spaces that are open to becoming something new\, provis
 ional instead of fixed in their form\; they are not inherently hierarchica
 l nor merely commercial\, but inflected by global relations of power\; the
 y are spaces in which distance and presence are brought into consideration
  with each other. They are spaces through which people of diverse ethnicit
 ies\, faiths\, and vocational interests came and went. Allowing for conver
 gences\, reorientations\, and interconnections\, cosmopolitan spaces prope
 lled people and artifacts in unexpected directions\, giving rise to new wa
 ys of thinking.\n\nHaving examined the potential for creative interaction 
 to which “in between spaces” and “material flows” across geographi
 es gave rise\, Conference 3 turns to “other worlds.” These are imagina
 ry places\, such as utopias and paradises\; sites\, like Jerusalem\, that 
 have been recreated elsewhere\; travel narratives\; costumes\, performance
 s\, and ballets\, such as Ben Jonson’s Masque of Blackness (1605) and 
 Daniel Rabel’s designs for Americans for René Bordier’s Ballet de la
  Douairière de Billebahaut (1626)\; and representations of terrestrial a
 nd astronomical imagery. Papers will consider ways in which literary\, the
 atrical\, theological\, mythological\, architectural\, and geographical fo
 rms became loci for imagining and inventing other worlds.\n\nImage\nSout
