Transatlantic, Transpacific: Oceanic Exchange and the Visual Cultures of Colonial Latin America
From ca. 1500–1850, the visual cultures of Mexico, Peru, the Caribbean, and Brazil were shaped in profound ways by two major oceanic throughways. As people and objects trav¬eled across the Atlantic and Pacific, indigenous and immigrant communities received, resisted, and remixed the ideas introduced—at times keenly aware of their “foreignness,” at times indifferent to the origins of imported traditions and materials. This session highlights scholarship on the Atlantic and Pacific worlds, seeking papers that focus on the different patterns of trade and visual culture that arose from this transoceanic traffic. Papers might be comparative or they might focus on a particular exchange—of imports or exports—between colonial Latin America and Europe or Asia. In addition to encouraging discussion of the distinct ways ideas, materials and/or practices traveled across the Atlantic or the Pacific, we invite papers that address the history and historiography of trade in colonial Latin America.
Following the guidelines put forward by CAA, proposals should include the following:
-Completed Session Proposal Submission Form (http://www.collegeart.org/pdf/2013CallforParticipation.pdf)
