Lecture: China Translated: Cross-Cultural Exchanges in the Formation of Early Modern World
Geography
Florin-Stefan Morar, Harvard University
Room 133, Barker Center, Harvard, 12 Quincy St., Cambridge MA
Standard accounts about the formation of world geography in the early modern period
describe world maps as the result of a process of empirical accumulation of data as result
of navigation and exploration, mostly through the agency of European actors. This talk
argues that in the case of China another dynamic was at play.

Lecture: “The Fragility of Difference: Animals, Humans, and the Renaissance Invention of
Race”
Mackenzie Cooley, Assistant Professor of History at Hamilton College; Presidential
Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University
Robinson Hall, Lower Library
Abstract: A neologism coined at a moment when humanity appeared capable of perfecting
nature, “race” first referred to the differentiation of animal stock through breeding.
With a focus on sixteenth-century Spanish Italy, this talk traces early modern breeders’
self-conscious struggle to produce and maintain race and natural philosophers’
preoccupation with its sheer artifice. As race slipped from animals to humans, what began
as a means of designating temporary difference limited to a few generations became
transgenerationally concretized in the taxonomy of Spanish Empire. Animal malleability
became fixed human difference.

Harvard Mahindra Humanities Center Seminar Cartography
Lecture: Europe and its Amerasian Mirror, 1492-ca. 1700
Elizabeth Horodowich, New Mexico State University
Alexander Nagel, New York University
Room 133, Barker Center, Harvard, 12 Quincy St., Cambridge MA
In most accounts of European explorations and colonizations after 1492, it is assumed that
an initial confusion between America and Asia steadily, even swiftly, gave way to the
realization that America was a New World. By considering a wide array of texts, maps,
objects, and images produced between 1492 and ca. 1700, it becomes possible instead to
inhabit a coherent, if malleable, vision of a world where Mexico really was India, North
America was an extension of China, and South America was populated by a variety of
biblical and Asian sites.

Lecture: "Marriage and Sacrifice: The Poetics of the Epithalamia"
Ramie Targoff (Brandeis University)
Annmary Brown Memorial, Brown University, 21 Brown St., Providence, RI 02912.
In Spenser’s “Epithalamion,” he invokes two figures from classical antiquity who bore
children for Jove. Why Spenser invokes Maia and Alcmene, who lay with Jove against their
will, is one question to be explored; another is why Spenser suggests that Jove has also
laid with his own bride, Elizabeth.
