Between the medieval conception of Christendom and the political visions of modernity ideas of Europe underwent a transformative and catalytic period that saw a cultural process of renewed self-definition or self-Europeanization. The contributors to this volume address this process analyzing how Europe was imagined between 1450 and 1750. By whom in which contexts and for what purposes was Europe made into a subject of discourse? Which forms did early modern âEuropesâ take and what functions did they serve? Essays examine the role of factors such as religion history space and geography ethnicity and alterity patronage and dynasty migration and education language translation and narration for the ways in which Europe turned into an âimagined community. â The thematic range of the volume comprises early modern texts in Arabic English French German Greek Italian Latin and Spanish including plays poems and narrative fiction as well as cartography historiography iconography travelogues periodicals and political polemics. Literary negotiations in particular foreground the creative potential versatility and agency that inhere in the process of Europeanization as well as a specifically early modern attitude towards the past and tradition emblematized in the poetics of the period. There is a clear continuity between the collectionâs approach to European identities and the focus of cultural and postcolonial studies on the constructed nature of collective identities at large: the chapters build on the insights produced by these fields over the past decades and apply them from various angles to a subject that has so far largely eluded critical attention. This volume examines what existing and well-established work on identity and alterity hybridity and margins has to contribute to an understanding of the largely un-examined and under-theorized âpre-formativeâ period of European identity. | Early Modern Constructions of Europe Literature Culture History
