Early Modern Migrations: Objects, Texts, People

This interdisciplinary conversation will address the theme of early modern migrations. How did objects, images, ideas, people, and texts migrate across the early modern globe? To what extent were these migrations productive and destructive? How were cities sites of cosmopolitanism, exchange, and encounter? How did texts migrate through prints and translation and in turn relay stories of migration? How did objects circulate, bringing with them new technologies and artisanal knowledge? Speakers will address these questions, shedding light on our understanding of encounters and entanglements in the early modern world.

A collaboration between Kellogg College and the Centre for Early Modern Studies, University of Oxford.

Speakers will include Nandini Das (Exeter), Leah R. Clark (Kellogg), Viviana Tagliaferri (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) and Imogen Choi (Exeter).

The talks will run from 4.30-6pm (including a Q&A), followed by a drinks reception at 6.00-6.30pm.

This event is free and open to all. If you have any questions please email events@kellogg.ox.ac.uk
