Edges of Transatlantic Commerce in the Long Eighteenth Century
examines and challenges the boundaries of the Atlantic in the
eighteenth century, with a particular focus on commerce. Commerce
as a keyword encompasses a wide range of documented and
undocumented encounters that invoke topics such as shared or
conflicting ideas of value, affective experiences of the emerging
global system, and development of national economies, as well as
their opponents. By investigating what gets exchanged, created, or
obscured on the peripheries of transatlantic commercial relations
and geography in the eighteenth century, the chapters in this
collection reimagine the edge as a liminal space with a potential
for an alternative historical and aesthetic knowledge. To ground
this inquiry in a more material dimension, the chapters engage
specifically with what is being exchanged, sold, or communicated
across the Atlantic by exploring ideas that are being shaped,
concealed, undermined, or exploited through intricate exchanges.
With its contributions from multiple contexts and disciplinary
perspectives, Edges of Transatlantic Commerce offers insights into
relatively neglected aspects of the transatlantic world to
cultivate the value that the edges allow us to conceive.
