Synopsis

“Globality” and “Climate change” in the early modern period comprise the two parts of this book, which starts with the inquiry, “What can the art produced in the 16th and 17th centuries tell us about the changes people were facing?” To answer this question, the first part explores 16th-century globalizing impulses through the creation of world routes and markets that crystallized in the opening of trade with China. The second part focuses on a concomitant phenomenon to transcontinental and transoceanic explorations: the climatic crisis known as the Little Ice Age and its literary depictions. As a result, early modern literature and Hispanisms are brought to the fore of two of the most relevant conversations of the 21st century: globality and climate change.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Juan Pablo Gil-Osle completed his doctorate at the University of Chicago. Currently, he is professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at Arizona State University, Tempe, after having held positions at the University of Michigan and Arkansas State University, and his stay as invited researcher at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He has published extensively on Cervantes, Tirso de Molina, comedia, gender and friendship, Southwest cartography, representations of globality, and climate change in literature. In that vein of literary analysis of globalization, his most recent publications deal with Sino-Iberian literature in Manila between 1571 and 1625.
