This wide-ranging collection of scholarly essays explores the
hybrid cultures, intellectual clashes, and dynamic exchanges of the
transpacific region in the age of imperialism. Between the
sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, competing European empires vied
for commercial and political control of oceanic routes between Asia
and the Americas. Transpacific Engagements addresses the resulting
cultural and artistic exchanges with an emphasis on the Spanish and
American enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region. This volume
explores artistic expressions of imperial aspirations and
imaginaries in the Philippines, Spain, Japan, and Hawaii; the
transformations of texts, images, and culinary practices as they
moved from one cultural context to another; and the movement of
objects and people across the transpacific, with particular
attention to the Manila Galleon trade that flourished from 1565 to
1815. Featuring contributions by art historians, anthropologists,
historians, and cultural studies scholars, Transpacific Engagements
gathers groundbreaking investigations of objects and histories to
illustrate the role of East, South, and Southeast Asian polities
and dynasties in these multilateral exchanges. Published by the
Ayala Foundation, Inc. in association with the Getty Research
Institute and Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz
(Max-Planck-Institut).
