 Mestiza and mulatto of Brazil, oil paintings by Albert Eckhout (Dutch), c. 1641, Danish National Museum, Copenhagen. | The Americas in the European Imagination April 12, 2003 Harvard University A Workshop of the Atlantic History Seminar |
This one-day Workshop will concentrate on visual and verbal representations by Europeans of the people, places, and possibilities of the Western Atlantic World—the West Indies and North and South America, 1500-1825. Travel accounts, scientific investigations, missionary reports, commercial correspondence, and government documents, as well as maps, drawings, and engravings will be examined by authorities in various fields for the light they throw on Europeans’ imaginings of the trans-oceanic West.
There will be three formal sessions, morning and afternoon on Saturday, April 12; presentations will be followed by general discussions. Lunch will be provided, and a reception will follow the last session. A program will be posted on the Web site as soon as it is available.
Attendance at the Workshop and participation in the discussion are open to the academic community. Historians at the beginning of their career, including Ph.D. candidates, are specially encouraged to attend. Travel and accommodation expenses will be the responsibility of attendees; the Workshop will provide lunches and local lodging information. Pre-registration is required.
A registration form and a preliminary program are available online. If you are unable to print these materials, or if you have any questions, please contact Pat Denault, Atlantic History Seminar, Emerson Hall 4th Floor, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138; fax: 617-496-8869..
