In recent years, research on the history of early modern
cartography has undergone remarkable developments. At the same
time, European travel accounts and works on China and Japan are
also being investigated more systematically. Finally, studies of
translations between European and East Asian languages have
highlighted the more general issue of how and to what extent
representations of the world that prevailed at one end of Eurasia
informed and influenced the representations prevailing at the other
end of the continent, sometimes to the point that novel forms of
representations were being generated.This volume brings together a
series of essays on this theme. It is divided into five sections
which address as many topics: the textual representation of the
'Other'; 16th- and 17th-century maps of China, Japan and Vietnam;
the phenomenon of hybridisation in visual representations;
knowledge and representations of the world in Europe and East Asia;
and the circulation of representations of the heavens in astronomy
between these two regions.
