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 Da niel Rabel’s designs for Americans for René Bordier’s Ballet de la Do uairière de Billebahaut (1626)\; and representations of terrestrial and a stronomical imagery. Papers will consider ways in which literary\, theatri cal\, theological\, mythological\, architectural\, and geographical forms became loci for imagining and inventing other worlds.\n\nImage\nSouthern B arbarian (Nanban-jin) Boat\nFormerly attributed to Kano School (Japanese)\ n17th century.
