Leaving behind grand narratives of discovery, these essays collectively restore a degree of symmetry and contingency to our understanding of encounters between European and Indigenous people. To do this the essays consider diverse agents of historical change, both human and inanimate: commodities, curiosities, texts, animals, and specimens moved through their own global circuits of knowledge and power. The voyages and collections rediscovered here do not move from a European center to a distant periphery, nor do they position European authorities as the central agents of this early era of globalization. Long distance voyagers from Greenland to the Ottoman Empire crossed paths with French, British, Polynesian, and Spanish travelers across the world, trading objects and knowledge for diverse ends. The dynamic contact zones of these curious encounters include the ice floes of the Arctic, the sociable spaces of the tea table, the hybrid material texts and objects in imperial archives, and the collections belonging to key figures of the Enlightenment, including Sir Hans Sloane and James Petiver."--$cProvided by publisher 410 0$aUCLA Clark Memorial Library series. 606 $aCivilization, Modern$y18th century 606 $aCivilization, Western$y18th century 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $acollecting. 610 $aeighteenth-century. 610 $aempire. 610 $aexploration. 610 $ahistory of science. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindigenous encounters. 610 $atravel. 610 $awriting. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern 615 0$aCivilization, Western 676 $a909.7 700 $aCraciun$b Adriana$4edt$0690732 702 $aCraciun$b Adriana , $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTerrall$b Mary, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996580170803316 996 $aCurious Encounters$93602433 997 $aUNISA
