There is very little in the modern literature on the history of
written culture that describes the specific practices related to
writing that were anchored in colonial contexts. It was not just
ships, soldiers and missionaries that drove the process of European
expansion from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The circulation of
images, manuscripts and books between different continents played a
key role too. The Portuguese Estado da India, the Spanish Carrera
de Indias, the Dutch, English and French East-Indian Companies, as
well as the Company of Jesus, all fixed and inscribed the details
of their travels in several types of document (letters, logs,
diaries, histories, etc.). The introduction and appropriation of
writing into societies without alphabets was a major factor in
changing the very function and meaning of written culture. This
title explores the extent to which the types of written information
that resulted during colonial expansion shaped the numerous and
complex processes of cultural exchange from the 16th century
onwards.
