Description

Explore the complex history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with Transcultural Things and the Spectre of Orientalism in Early Modern Poland-Lithuania. This scholarly work from the Rethinking Art's Histories series examines how specific artefacts were used to narrate and visualise the cultural identity of Polish-Lithuanian elites. The text investigates four distinct sets of objects: maps connecting the region to the land of Sarmatia, fashion portrayals tracing culture to a distant past, Ottomanesque costumes worn by ambassadors, and foreign carpets labelled as Polish. By analyzing these invented traditions, the book provides a deep look into how borrowed elements from abroad shaped the cultural landscape of the early modern era.
