SUMMARY:(P32) Images and imaginations; Maluku and the Philippines in early modern art and illustrations
LOCATION:K12 | 1.12
DESCRIPTION:The European expansion in maritime Asia in the 16th and 17th ce
 nturies generated a substantial body of visual representations in the form 
 of illustrations and maps as well as fine art. Inspired by work such as Céc
 ile Fromont in The Art of Conversion (2014) where she analyses historical i
 nteractions between the Kingdom of Kongo and European powers through a comb
 ination of art-, material culture- and archival sources, this panel opens f
 or new discussions about historical relations between maritime Southeast As
 ia and Europe.\nWe ask questions about how images convey discourses of fore
 ignness and exoticism in Europe, how more or less correct observations were
  altered to suit expectations and power relations, and to what extent we ca
 n use the visual archive as sources to the Asian side of the story.\nMaluku
  and the Philippines are interesting cases in point. While not characterize
 d by large kingdoms or monumental architecture, these archipelagic regions 
 were prime objects for European expansion, by Portuguese, Spanish, English 
 and Dutch ventures due to the enormous potential profits of trade with spic
 es and other products.\nDuring the successive phases of subordination in th
 e 16th and 17th centuries a series of illustrations were made of local peop
 le, buildings, animals, birds and landscapes. Some of these were published 
 in widely read travel literature and were reified in new versions. In anoth
 er set of visual sources from the period, the setting is European and/or Ch
 ristian but key components carry references to the archipelagos highlighted
  here.\nPut short, the panel discusses what western art can tell us about M
 aluku and the Philippines in early modern history and what these regions me
 ant in European imaginations of the time.
