Lavishly illustrated and impressively interdisciplinary, Inventing Exoticism narrates a vital chapter in the history of European exoticism and Europe's perception of its place in the world. It traces the production and consumption of early modern exotic imagery to elucidate processes of cultural mediation in an earlier age of empire.

Marc Notes: As early modern Europe launched its multiple projects of global empire, it simultaneously embarked on an ambitious program of describing and picturing the world. The shapes and meanings of the extraordinary global images that emerged from this process form the subject of this highly original and richly textured study of cultural geography. 'Inventing Exoticism' draws on a vast range of sources from history, literature, science, and art to describe the energetic and sustained international engagements that gave birth to our modern conceptions of exoticism and globalism.

Contributor Bio:  Schmidt, Benjamin Benjamin Schmidt, geboren 1989 in Possneck, Thuringen, lebt seit einigen Jahren mit seiner Familie in Berlin. Nach einer verhangnisvollen Entscheidung 2009, durch die er eine inkomplette Querschnittslahmung erlitt, studierte er digitale Musikproduktion und schloss eine Ausbildung als Mediengestalter ab. Heute arbeitet er bei Trinity Music, einem Berliner Veranstalter, als Grafiker und veroffentlichte bisher 2 Gedichtbande und seinen ersten Roman, "Gegenuber von Glucklich." Nach mehreren Lesungen, darunter die Debutlesung in einem Swinger-Club, nahe Munchen, scheint seine schriftstellerische Tatigkeit eine vielversprechende Zukunft zu haben.
