Rigorously inventive and revelatory in its adventurousness,
1650-1850 opens a forum for the discussion, investigation, and
analysis of the full range of long-eighteenth-century writing,
thinking, and artistry. Combining fresh considerations of prominent
authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat
elements of the Enlightenment legacy, 1650-1850 delivers a
comprehensive but richly detailed rendering of the first days, the
first principles, and the first efforts of modern culture. Its
pages open to the works of all nations and language traditions,
providing a truly global picture of a period that routinely
shattered boundaries. Volume 27 of this long-running journal is no
exception to this tradition of focused inclusivity. Readers will
travel through a blockbuster special feature on the topic of
worldmaking and other worlds-on the Enlightenment zest for the
discovery, charting, imagining, and evaluating of new worlds,
envisioned worlds, utopian worlds, and worlds of the future. Essays
in this enthusiastically extraterritorial offering escort readers
through the science-fictional worlds of Lady Cavendish, around
European gardens, over the high seas, across the American
frontiers, into forests and exotic ecosystems, and, in sum, into
the unlimited expanses of the Enlightenment mind. Further
enlivening the volume is a cavalcade of full-length book reviews
evaluating the latest in eighteenth-century scholarship.
Drawing on literary texts, conversion manuals, and colonial
correspondence from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain and
Peru, Forms of Relation focuses on nonprocreative and nonbiological
kinship ties, revealing the importance of these relationships to
debates and struggles over colonial governance and
identities.Goldmark begins with one Dominican friar's polemic
against Spanish abuses of Indigenous women's reproductive labor,
which threatened to lead to maternal infanticide, the death of the
Indies' populations, and the failure of evangelization. He consults
texts from sixteenth-century Peru describing how Inca authorities
thwarted marriages between nonelite Inca women and Spanish men in
an attempt to preserve Inca political power. He uncovers Spanish
and Criollo teachers' petitions, submitted in the early seventeenth
century to the Archbishopric's Archive of Lima, that hoped to
convince authorities that by following these petition authors'
"good examples," an Indigenous person could claim Christian rights.
Forms of Relation illustrates why we must and how we can
interrogate the dominant paradigms of mestizaje, heterosexuality,
and biology that are too often left unchallenged in studies of
Spanish colonialism, demonstrating how nonprocreative kinships
proved critical to the creation of that regime.
