A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Peruvian migrant workers began arriving in South Korea in large numbers in the mid 1990s, eventually becoming one of the largest groups of non-Asians in the country. Migrant Conversions shows how despite facing unstable income and legal exclusion, migrants come to see Korea as an ideal destination. Some even see it as part of their divine destiny. Faced with looming departures, Peruvians develop cosmopolitan plans to transform themselves from economic migrants into pastors, lovers, and leaders. Set against the backdrop of 2008's global financial crisis, Vogel explores the intersections of three types of conversions- money, religious beliefs and cosmopolitan plans-to argue that conversions are how migrants negotiate the meaning of their lives in a constantly changing transnational context. At the convergence of cosmopolitan projects spearheaded by the state, churches, and other migrants, Peruvians change the value and meaning of their migrations. Yet, in attempting to make themselves at home in the world and give their families more opportunities, they also create potential losses. As Peruvians help carve out social spaces, they create



complex and uneven connections between Peru and Korea that challenge a global hierarchy of nations and migrants. Exploring how migrants, churches and nations change through processes of conversion reveals how globalization continues to impact people's lives and ideas about their futures and pasts long after they have stopped moving, or that particular global moment has come to an end.

Sommario/riassunto

Après une longue période de troubles des guerres de religion, le renouveau des arts se manifesta de façon particulièrement éclatante sous le règne d'Henri IV, dans tous les domaines : peinture, sculpture, architecture, mais aussi l'art des jardins, les arts de cour, notamment les ballets et les entrées. Ce fut aussi le cas de l'art du livre, encore trop peu étudié aujourd'hui.  Ce livre expose l'ampleur de ce renouveau et en montre les multiples aspects.  Afin de cerner les transformations et les nouvelles configurations artistiques de cette période, les pratiques artistiques sont replacées dans leur contexte historique, politique et culturel. L'ouvrage pose les enjeux épistémologiques entre pouvoir (élaboration et diffusion par l'image de la figure du « bon roi », tolérant et unificateur du royaume) et art (art de cour, art sacré, dans une époque de troubles religieux…). Enfin, dans une volonté d'inscrire la production artistique française dans un cadre plus large, ce livre explore les liens qui unissent la France d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis aux grands centres artistiques européens (Florence, Nancy, Anvers).
