This volume brings together a number of case studies that explore how some knowledge in cultural contact zones becomes transient, evanescent, and ephemeral. The essays examine various aspects of cultural, especially colonial, epistemic exchanges, placing special emphasis on the fate of those knowledges that are not easily appropriated by or translated from one cultural sphere into another and thus remain at the margins of cross-cultural exchanges. In addition, the imposition of colonial power is unthinkable without the strategic deployment and use of knowledge; most colonial states, including those of Germany in the Baltic and in West Africa, were knowledge-acquiring machines - yet, acquisition always includes rejection, detainment and subjugation of recalcitrant epistemes. Bringing together insights from various scholarly disciplines, including literary studies, history, historical anthropology, and political science, the essays in this volume investigate how different or unfamiliar knowledge was, and in some cases still is, disarticulated by being belittled, discredited, and demonized. But they also show the strategies of resilience deployed by subjugated and subaltern people: the ways in which certain materials have escaped the coloniality of knowledge - how fragments and shards of other epistemologies remain inscribed in the polyphony and fuzziness of intercultural documents and archives. 410 $aCultural Encounters and the Discourses of Scholarship 606 $aAmerika 606 $aTibet 606 $aIndien 606 $aBrasilien 606 $aBaltikum 606 $aAfrika 606 $aKulturkontakt 606 $aWissensgeschichte 606 $aWissensarchiv 606 $aKolonialismus 606 $aImperialismus 606 $aPostcolonial Studies 606 $aEpochenu?bergreifend 615 4$aAmerika 615 4$aTibet 615 4$aIndien 615 4$aBrasilien 615 4$aBaltikum 615 4$aAfrika 615 4$aKulturkontakt 615 4$aWissensgeschichte 615 4$aWissensarchiv 615 4$aKolonialismus 615 4$aImperialismus 615 4$aPostcolonial Studies 615 4$aEpochenu?bergreifend 702 $aBeer$b Andreas$4edt 702 $aMackenthun$b Gesa$4edt 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493743203321 996 $aFugitive Knowledge$92064686 997 $aUNINA
