SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2023] The Knowledge of Others: Extra-European Knowledge, Ideas and Artifacts in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:The lectures of the section explore the question of how members of European societies in the early modern period gained access to repositories of knowledge and knowledge carriers originating from across the oceans and received the knowledge available through them. 
For this purpose, the contributors present case studies that focus either on repositories of knowledge, for example in the form of maps and official documents, or on the stay of knowledge carriers in Europe. With regard to the artifacts that stored knowledge, special attention is paid to the context of their creation and the relation of non-European indigenous or European influence on their creation. In the case of knowledge carriers, on the other hand, the focus is on the context of their transfer and the goals that they and European actors associated with it. 
Across the board, with regard to both artifacts and knowledge carriers, the contributions examine contemporary assessments regarding the credibility or fragility of the knowledge available through them. For this purpose, it is to be examined to what extent non-European knowledge carriers or artifacts were regarded as belonging to, compatible with, or alien to already existing knowledge or the rules of the epistemic system and what effects this assessment had. Thus, through their respective case studies, the contributions also contribute to questioning the dichotomy of 'European' and 'non-European' used as a research category. Finally, the contributions address the respective effects of the exemplarily examined bodies of knowledge, for example on future knowledge collections, intercultural contacts or interactions in colonial spaces.
