English Whiteness and the End of Romance --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsThrough literary and historical documents from the early sixteenth to late seventeenth centuries-epic poetry, private correspondence, secular dramas, and colonial legislation-Carmen Nocentelli charts the Western fascination with the eros of "India," as the vast coastal stretch from the Gulf of Aden to the South China Sea was often called. If Asia was thought of as a place of sexual deviance and perversion, she demonstrates, it was also a space where colonial authorities actively encouraged the formation of interracial households, even through the forcible conscription of native brides. In her comparative analysis of Dutch, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish texts, Nocentelli shows how sexual behaviors and erotic desires quickly came to define the limits within which Europeans represented not only Asia but also themselves .Drawing on a wide range of European sources on polygamy, practices of male genital modification, and the allegedly excessive libido of native women, Empires of Love emphasizes the overlapping and mutually transformative construction of race and sexuality during Europe's early overseas expansion, arguing that the encounter with Asia contributed to the development of Western racial discourse while also shaping European ideals of marriage, erotic reciprocity, and monogamous affection.Europe, Asia, and the making of early modern identitySex customsEuropeHistory16th centurySex customsEuropeHistory17th centurySex customsSouth AsiaHistory16th centurySex customsSouth AsiaHistory17th centuryEuropeansEthnic identityHistory16th centuryEuropeansEthnic identityHistory17th centurySouth AsiansEthnic identityHistory16th centurySouth AsiansEthnic identityHistory17th centuryEuropeColoniesRace relationsHistory16th centuryEuropeColoniesRace relationsHistory17th centuryElectronic books.Sex customsHistorySex customsHistorySex customsHistorySex customsHistoryEuropeansEthnic identityHistoryEuropeansEthnic identityHistorySouth AsiansEthnic identityHistorySouth AsiansEthnic identityHistory306.77Nocentelli Carmen1041578MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463523903321Empires of love2465213UNINA01788nam2 22003493i 450 IEI012844020231121125508.020021007d1999 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nEffigies Siciliaela rappresentazione della Sicilia tra Rinascimento e Illuminismo nella cartografia militare manoscrittaRomaSocietà geografica italiana1999136 p.ill.24 cmMemorie della Società geografica italiana58Contiene gli Atti della giornata di studi, Messina, 17 Ottobre 1997 ; in appendice il catalogo della mostra: Effigies Siciliae : elementi per un catalogo delle carte geografiche / Amelia Ioli Gigante, Liliane Dufour e Corradina Polto.(1999)RAV0100232001MIL00849202001 Memorie della Società geografica italiana5871202Società geografica italianaRAVV032012001RAV01002322001 Memorie della Società geografica italiana58SiciliaCarte geograficheSec. 16.-18.FIRRMLC188368IITIT-0120021007IT-RM028 IT-RM0290 IT-RM0418 IT-FR0017 Biblioteca Universitaria AlessandrinaRM028 BIBLIOTECA ANGELICARM0290 BIBLIOTECA ACCADEMIA NAZ.
