Présentation de l'éditeur
Kulturen definieren sich vielfach durch Objekte, durch Dinge wie Monumente, Gemälde, Handschriften, Teppiche oder Geräte. Kulturen werden aber auch von fremden Objekten »kolonisiert«, die schließlich so vertraut erscheinen, dass wir sie nicht mehr als fremd, sondern als Bestandteil der eigenen Kultur erfahren. So wandern materielle Artefakte zwischen den Kulturen, transportieren Ideen, werden integriert und wechseln in neuen kulturellen Kontexten ihre Bedeutung. Die dabei in Gang gesetzten Adaptionsprozesse beschreiben die Autoren des Bandes aus der Sicht ihrer jeweiligen Disziplin. Das Spektrum reicht von der Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte über literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Analysen bis hin zur Anthropologie. Material artefacts such as monuments, paintings, manuscripts, carpets, vessels etc. are signs of cultural self-definition even if they are integrated from far away. Thus culture is in a permanent process of becoming »colonized« by objects getting so familiar, that they are embedded in the social and economic context as »natural« indigenous things. Normally, these processes were not guided consciously; it is rather a question of cultural achievements, of objects being transferred from single groups or even individuals in the language of their own contexts, increasing the own cultural identity. Such forms of transgression demand an inappreciable process of adaptation. Therefore, the effort of integration assumes a translation in inner cultural self-understanding, an adaptation of knowledge and the framing of objects in their new traditional context, which is subject to the papers collected in this volume.

Paperback. Etat : New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 280 pp. ; 96 illus. (28 in color. ) -- with a bonus offer--; Comprising lectures from the University of Heidelberg series "Asia and Europe in a Global Context,â? this study aims to describe the role of artifacts, luxurious objects, and ideas in cultural processes from a wide range of disciplinesincluding art history, anthropology, literature, and cultural studies. Contending that material artifacts such as monuments, paintings, and manuscripts are signs of cultural self-definition even if they are integrated from far away, the examination explains how these objects have become embedded in the social and economic context as "natural,â? indigenous things and how culture is in aà perpetualà state of becoming "colonizedâ? by their familiarity. The selected essays demonstrate that this process is based on achieving a certain level of cultural identity, transferring objects into the languages of different contexts. Emphasizing how these forms of transgression demand a subtle adaptation, this compilation illustrates how the effort of integration assumes a translation in inner cultural self-understanding, an adaptation of knowledge, and the framing of objects in their new traditional context.
