Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Images have always played a vital role in political communication and in the visualization of power structures and hierarchies. In the negotiation processes between different cultures, the language of the visual is often thought of as the more effective way to acquaint and overpower the others with one s own principles, beliefs, and value systems. Scores of these asymmetrical exchange situations have taken place in the Portuguese overseas Empire since its gradual expansion in the 16th century. This volume aims at developing thoughts on the broad phenomenon of Portuguese-Christian Art in the Portuguese colonies further by adding the dimension of the political appropriation of these (and other) objects. How were these hybrid artifacts staged and handled to generate new layers of meaning and visualize political ideas and concepts? The underlying question of this volume s contributions is whether there were, also in the profane sphere of the visualization of political ideas and structures, phenomena of accommodation comparable to those in the sphere of the religious image: Do we find adaptations to the local artistic and ceremonial customs when it comes to demonstrate Portuguese power in the overseas regions? The contributors aim at analyzing the transmission processes and the development of transcultural imaginations in the sphere of the political use of the image.".

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this volume, we follow the coat of arms into situations and zones of contact. Since inception, communication has been in the very nature of the heraldic phenomenon. Hence its remarkable ability to adapt to the circumstances that, from the 15th century onwards, brought populations from all over the world into contact. Our overarching question serves as an attempt to learn more about the modalities of negotiation in contact zones. To what extent were local actors able to develop their own attitude towards invasive and invading colonizers and missionaries by adopting and transforming the European image form of the coat of arms? This departure point leads even further: to think of heraldic emblems as a visual instrument capable of establishing communication not only between different cultures, but also between different eras, and even between the human and divine spheres. The book's interdisciplinarity, the temporal breadth of the collected case studies, and the variety of methodological approaches reflect the dynamism and diversity of the topic itself. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
