Contested duplicates
The issue of duplicates and duplication in ethnographic collection is frequently regarded as a process that begins and ends in the museum as a fundamental act of the process of curating. In contrast, this article maintains, this practice occurred all along the chain of collecting, where indigenous artefacts operated as items of exchange in the context of the colonial encounter. Using the example of German New Guinea, the article maintains that ep…
Introduction
The permanent preservation of objects in global custodianship is a captivating ideal that informs countless museums' corporate identities and governs collection guidelines as well as politics. Recent research has challenged the alleged perpetuity of collections and collected items, revealing their coherence as fragile and dependent on historically, politically and culturally specific conditions. Duplicates offer an instructive point of entry to e…
The Americas and the Contested Aquatic World of the Atlantic, Indian, and the Pacific Oceans
Rather than undertake an almost impossible task to render a coherent history of three oceans between the years of 1500 to 1800, this chapter seeks to address three interrelated issues. It first explores the novelty of aquatic historiography and its contestations. Second, it investigates the interrelationship between imagined and physical manifestations of oceanic and terrestrial space. Lastly, the chapter considers how Europeans sought to integra…
Anthropology's Global Histories
Anthropologists and world historians make strange bedfellows. Although the latter frequently employ anthropological methods in their descriptions of cross-cultural exchanges, the former have raised substantial reservations about global approaches to history. Fearing loss of specificity, anthropologists object to the effacing qualities of techniques employed by world historians-this despite the fact that anthropology itself was a global, comparati…
Serge Gruzinski. The Eagle and the Dragon
Serge Gruzinski’s The Eagle and the Dragon: Globalization and European Dreams of Conquest in China and America in the Sixteenth Century is the closing volume for a trilogy that includes What Time Is It There? America and Islam at the Dawn of Modern Times (2010) and Les quatre parties du monde: Histoire d’une mondialisation (2004). Throughout his work, the author argues for a rethinking of the Renaissance, which he seeks to investigate in a wider …

Anthropology's Global Histories
Oceanic Carvings and Germanic Cravings
The article examines German anthropologists’ engagement in the Pacific Islands to World War I. To stake their claims, anthropologists traced their intellectual genealogies to 18th-century voyages of ‘discovery’ and linked with their own country's belated imperial mission to Oceania. They envisioned a complex ‘ethnographic frontier’ of salvage that challenged the importance of the postulated Melanesia/Polynesia divide and its implied hierarchies o…

Oceans of World History
This article presents various ocean‐ and sea‐centered approaches to world history. Utilizing European transoceanic empires as a point of departure, the paper scrutinizes the emergence of “aquacentric” notions among selected global societies. The diasporas of African, Greek, and Polynesian peoples offer important pointers to unravel the global past. These pointers provide novel perspectives on the histories of the Atlantic, Indian, and the Pacific…
