An exploration of early modern encounters between Christian Europe
and the (Islamic) East from the perspective of performance studies
and performativity theories, this collection focuses on the ways in
which these cultural contacts were acted out on the real and
metaphorical stages of theatre, literature, music, diplomacy and
travel. The volume responds to the theatricalization of early
modern politics, to contemporary anxieties about the tension
between religious performance and belief, to the circulation of
material objects in intercultural relations, and the eminent role
of theatre and drama for the (re)imagination and negotiation of
cultural difference. Contributors examine early modern encounters
with and in the East using an innovative combination of literary
and cultural theories. They stress the contingent nature of these
contacts and demonstrate that they can be read as moments of
potentiality in which the future of political and economic
relations - as well as the players' cultural, religious and gender
identities - are at stake.
