Recasting the History of Venetian Rule in Greece
This chapter examines the Greek experience of Venetian rule (1204–1797). The first section discusses recent historiographical trends in the late medieval and early modern history of the Greek-speaking territories of the former Byzantine Empire and assesses their connection to the broader history of the Republic of Venice. The second section focuses on key historical themes, such as warfare and colonization, the management of ethnic and religious …
Lepanto or Little Algiers? Public history and the cultural politics of commemoration in modern Greece
What can the Battle of Lepanto (1571) reveal about the interconnected politics of nationalism and racism in contemporary Europe? Linking memory studies, critical heritage and the history of European-Ottoman wars, this article uses the 450th anniversary of the historic battle as an entry point for rethinking the politics of commemoration in modern Greece. It takes a multi-scalar perspective which charts memory-making across different spatial and t…
War, Communication, and the Politics of Culture in Early Modern Venice
Paths Not Taken
Konstantina Zanou's Transnational patriotism is a thought-provoking book, which offers a multi-faceted perspective on its subject that brings together scholarship on nationalism and diasporas with modern Greek and Italian intellectual history. Written in lively and accessible language and based on thorough research, it makes the reader rethink some of the major dilemmas of our own time while still remaining true to the perspectives of its protago…
Marvels of the Levant
This article uses the strange and marvellous as a heuristic device to study the relationship between emotions, media and politics in early modern Venice. In particular, it examines how printed news about the marvels of the Levant mediated Venice's encounters with its colonial subjects and imperial rivals, and analyses the role of wonder and imagination in the creation of an imperial community of feelings. The article argues that a focus on the af…
Printing Empire
This article analyses the relationship between imperial expansion and popular visual culture in late seventeenth-century Venice. It addresses the impact of the military on the marketplace of print and examines the cultural importance of commercial printmaking to the visualization of colonial motifs during the 1684–99 war with the Ottoman Empire. Through a broad array of single-sheet engravings and illustrated books encompassing different visual t…
Collecting the Past
Talk, script and print
During the early modern period, island books (isolari) were among the major print genres by which the Venetian reading public learned about the Mediterranean and the New World. This article focuses on the intellectual, social and cultural processes through which these books constructed islands as objects of inquiry and created textual and visual knowledge about the Aegean archipelago and the Venetian overseas dominions. It shows how diverse commu…
Orientalism in Early Modern France
Ina Baghdiantz McCabe, (Berg, Oxford and New York, 2008), vi+409 pp., ISBN 978-1-84520-374-0 (Hbk), £60.00 Ina Baghdiantz McCabe's study of the birth of French orientalism and the role of Eurasian
Colonial encounters, local knowledge and the making of the cartographic archive in the Venetian Peloponnese
Current research on the cartography of the Venetian Empire rests on a state-centred perspective which reduces maps to mere technical tools in the service of maritime expansion and colonial government. In contrast, this paper argues that such an approach cannot sufficiently account for the multiple ethnocartographic transactions between Venetian authorities and local communities which defined Venetian map-making projects. Taking the seventeenth-ce…
