Prof. Leibsohn’s lecture will address the relationship between oceanic exchange and visual cultures in Colonial Latin America: can there be a meaningful history of trade, visual culture and colonial experience? In the early modern period, what should this history include? Focusing on colonial Latin America, it is these questions my presentation explores. Of particular interest will be the ways in which “the foreign” and “the indigenous” took form because of–and at times in spite of–the movement of materials, people, and ideologies across two oceans. By comparing the material traces of trans- Atlantic trade as opposed to that of the trans-Pacific, and by drawing examples from maps, ceramics, painting and textiles, this talk asks us to reconsider the interpretive possibilities of colonial creativity in the early modern period.
