This Palgrave Pivot explores the social and cultural impact of
global trade at a micro-level from around 1600 to 1950. Bringing
together the collaborative skills of cultural, social, economic,
and art historians, it examines how the diffusion of trade, goods
and objects affected people's everyday lives. The authors tell
several stories: of the role played by a host of intermediaries -
such as apothecaries, artisans and missionaries who facilitated the
process; of objects such as Japanese export lacquer-ware and
paintings; of how diverse artistic influences came to be expressed
in colonial church architecture in the Philippines; of
revolutionary changes wrought on quotidian tastes and preferences,
as shown in the interior decoration of private homes in the Dutch
East Indies; and of transformations in the smoking and drinking
habits of Southeast Asians. The chapters consider the conditions
from which emerged new forms of artistic production and transfer,
fresh cultural interpretations, and expanded markets for goods,
objects and images.
