Remapping Centre and Periphery: Asymmetrical Encounters in European and Global Context, 1500-2000

CTH and The HERA Asymmetrical Encounters Project (UCL/Utrecht), NWO Translantis Project (Utrecht)

23-24 June 2016

Abstract:

This international workshop examines mechanisms of cultural and intellectual exchange across the globe. Historians often assume a one-directional transmission of knowledge establishing intellectual hierarchies between centres and peripheries. Instead, this workshop investigates the asymmetrical and multi-directional structure of these encounters within Europe as well as in a global context.
