The circulation of cultural practices -- pt. 2. Objects in transit -- pt. 3. Translations.In the wide-ranging and innovative essays of Cultures in Motion, a dozen distinguished historians offer new conceptual vocabularies for understanding how cultures have trespassed across geography and social space. From the transformations of the meanings and practices of charity during late antiquity and the transit of medical knowledge between early modern China and Europe, to the fusion of Irish and African dance forms in early nineteenth-century New York, these essays follow a wide array of cultural practices through the lens of motion, translation, itinerancy, and exchange, extending the insights of transnational and translocal history. Cultures in Motion challenges the premise of fixed, stable cultural systems by showing that cultural practices have always been moving, crossing borders and locations with often surprising effect. The essays offer striking examples from early to modern times of intrusion, translation, resistance, and adaptation. These are histories where nothing--dance rhythms, alchemical formulas, musical practices, feminist aspirations, sewing machines, streamlined metals, or labor networks--remains stationary. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Celia Applegate, Peter Brown, Harold Cook, April Masten, Mae Ngai, Jocelyn Olcott, Mimi Sheller, Pamela Smith, and Nira Wickramasinghe.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.Publications in Partnership with the Shelby Cullom Davis Center at Princeton UniversityCross-cultural studiesCultureCivilizationAfrican dance.African emigrants.Ah Jake.Alcoa.Andreas Cleyer.Betty Friedan.California.Caribbean.Chinese medicine.Chinese workers.Domitila Barrios de Chungara.Europe.Germany.International Women's Year.Irish dance.Irish emigrants.Lanka.Latin West.Mexico City.Michel Boym.New York City.Niklas Luhmann.North American feminism.Singer Sewing Machine Company.Singer sewing machine.Sir John Floyer.Third World feminine Leftism.William Wotton.air power.alchemical formula.aluminum.bauxite mining.blood.challenge dance competitions.challenge dance.charity.choral festivals.choral societies.civic charity.civilizing mission.collective identity.consumer market.cross-cultural relations.cultural exchange.cultural motion.cultural nationalism.cultural practices.cultural space.culture.cultures.dance.early modern Europe.empire.gift-giving.globalization.gold.immobility.itinerancy.justice.knowledge transmission.labor network.labor.language.lizards.market imaginary.marketing.matter.medical knowledge.misunderstandings.mo.mobility.modernity.murder trial.music.musical culture.musical itinerancy.nation building.nationalism.pastoral power.pidgin.place.poverty.power.pulse.race.red pigments.science.sewing machine.social imagination.social relations.society.taverns.temporality.tourism.translation.transnational feminism.traveling musicians.vermillion.wealth.Cross-cultural studies.Culture.Civilization.306.09Rodgers Daniel T564707Raman Bhavani1582056Reimitz Helmut503150Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790755403321Cultures in motion3864045UNINA
