As powerful, pointed imitation, cultural mimesis can effect
inclusion in a polity, threaten state legitimacy, or undo the
originality upon which such legitimacy is based. In Mimesis and
Empire , first published in 2001, Barbara Fuchs explores the
intricate dynamics of imitation and contradistinction among early
modern European powers in literary and historiographical texts from
sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spain, Italy, England and
the New World. The book considers a broad sweep of material,
including European representations of New World subjects and of
Islam, both portrayed as 'other' in contemporary texts. It
supplements the transatlantic perspective on early modern
imperialism with an awareness of the situation in the Mediterranean
and considers problems of reading and literary transmission;
imperial ideology and colonial identities; counterfeits and
forgery; and piracy.
