"Examining the cultural dynamics of translation and transfer, Cultural Transfer Reconsidered proposes new insights into both epistemological and analytical questions raised in the research area of cultural transfer. Seeking to emphasize the creative processes of transfer, Steen Bille Jørgensen and Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink have invited specialized researchers to determine the role of structures and agents in the dynamics of cultural encounters. With its particular focus on the North, as opposed to the South, the volume problematizes national paradigms. Presenting various aspects of tri- and multilateral transfers involving Scandinavian countries, Cultural Transfer Reconsidered opens perspectives regarding the ways in which textual, intertextual and artistic practices, in particular, pave the way for postcolonial interrelatedness"--

In the last few years various disciplines have made early modern objects from different geographic areas the subject of their research, which has initiated a renaissance of materiality research. The social, cultural as well as the knowledge dimension of things have gained greater attention. Following the trajectories of certain objects, their ability to create connections and the transfer the knowledge initiated by them has widened our understanding of the productivity of things. In a transcultural move, objects have the power to create new perceptions, practices and concepts that affect the cultural self-understanding of a society. This volume wants to contribute to the history of material culture in a transcultural perspective. In tracing the physical and cultural trajectories of objects it will add to the greater project of a global history. In various ways, the contributions pursue five perspectives: first, travelling objects in transcultural interaction between Europe and Asia, Africa or the Americas; second, the cultural transformation of objects themselves during their travel; third, objects created in transcultural collaboration; fourth, knowledge-making based on widely travelled objects, and fifth, the perspective of material geography. The contributions deal with commodities of daily use, luxury articles, religious objects and written documents.

The objects of cultural transfers are innumerable. Their study is particularly important to understanding the medieval Norman worlds and their multiple interconnections with the Scandinavian world, the British Isles, Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean. While examining the processes of transmission, reception, adaptation, adoption, or rejection, this book highlights how these dynamics influenced cultures between the eighth and twelfth centuries. Various examples of both material (embroidery; clothing accessories; iron artefacts; coins; manuscripts; funeral monuments; sculptures, etc.) and immaterial objects (craftsmanship; literary models; language; religious and burial practices; ideology of power; oath-taking, etc.) are studied, including some emblematic ‘monuments’ of the Norman worlds (the Bayeux Tapestry; the mosaics on the floor of Otranto Cathedral). Particular attention is given to presenting these objects in a context in which their reinterpretation in different socio-cultural environments could be better understood. The book also questions the role and the significance of the actors of cultural transfers (aristocratic elites; churchmen; merchants; craftsmen; authors; copyists; etc.), considering their status or their function, as well as their aptitude to carry transfers. It sheds light on relations and networks that have been thus far relatively unknown, and on the circulation of models that consists of a multitude of objects and productions. Finally, it contributes to the exploration of the contacts between different populations and the construction of their interactions. / Les objets des transferts culturels sont innombrables et leur étude est particulièrement importante pour comprendre les mondes normands médiévaux et leurs multiples interfaces avec le monde scandinave, les îles Britanniques, l’Europe orientale et la Méditerranée. Cet ouvrage s’intéresse aux processus de transmission et de réception, d’adaptation, d’adoption ou de rejet, en montrant comment ces dynamiques font évoluer les cultures entre le VIIIe et le XIIe siècle. Différents types d’objets sont ainsi abordés, qu’ils soient matériels (broderie ; accessoires du costume ; artefacts en fer ; monnaies ; manuscrits ; monuments funéraires ; sculptures…) ou immatériels (savoir-faire, modèles littéraires, langue, pratiques religieuses et funéraires, idéologie du pouvoir, serment…), dont quelques-uns sont des ‘monuments’ emblématiques des mondes normands (la Tapisserie de Bayeux ; les mosaïques du sol de la cathédrale d’Otrante). Une attention particulière a été attachée à la mise en contexte de ces objets permettant d’en saisir la réinterprétation dans des environnements socio-culturels différents. L’ouvrage permet également de questionner le rôle et l’implication des acteurs des transferts culturels (élites aristocratiques, hommes d’Église, marchands, artisans, lettrés, copistes …) du fait de leur statut ou leur fonction, mais aussi selon leur aptitude à promouvoir un transfert. Il met en lumière des liens et des réseaux jusque-là mal connus, la circulation des modèles qui intéresse une multitude d’objets et de productions, et il contribue ainsi à explorer des situations de contact entre des populations différentes et la construction de leurs interactions.
