Giuseppe Marcocci (University of Oxford)
Description:
This exploratory workshop aims to capture and reflect upon an ongoing transformation in early modern global Iberian studies and its meanings. Once upon a time the history of the Iberian world was written through Spanish and Portuguese sources and records in non-European languages were substantially considered as a way to recover the ‘vision of the vanquished’. Things have profoundly changed in the past years and now a growing number of scholars systematically explore multilingualism as an integral part of the Iberian world and its archive, which is therefore understood in much richer and more complex terms.
This workshop is intended to mark the publication, by the University of Pennsylvania Press, of Jorge Flores’s Empire of Contingency: How Portugal Entered the Indo-Persian World.
Participants:
Michael Bax (University of Oxford), Tania Bride (University of Oxford), Erica Feild-Marchello (University of Oxford), Jorge Flores (CIUHCT-University of Lisbon), John-Paul Ghobrial (University of Oxford), Euan Huey (University of Oxford), Joseph Jackson-Eade (University of Bologna), and Giuseppe Marcocci (University of Oxford)
