Abstract(s)
A China é um dos países que mais interesse desper-tou na Europa dos séculos XVII e XVIII. Os primei-ros viajantes entoam surpresa e admiração face a uma sociedade de grande abastança, riqueza e polícia. A imagem traçada acerca da sociedade e cultura asiáticas será um tema bem presente nas redes de conhecimento europeias, mormente na imprensa editorial alemã que sempre revelou grande interesse na apropriação e divulgação de notícias e conhecimentos sobre “novos mundos”. O presente artigo pretende aferir qual o lugar reservado à China. Quem são os autores edi-tados na Alemanha dos séculos XVII? Qual o papel do editor na construção e divulgação dos relatos de viagem? Quais as redes e grupos de agentes culturais interessados em divulgar notí-cias e imagens sobre a China? Que a atividade tipográfica na Europa tinha um grande poder na representação da China não é uma novidade. Importa, todavia, averiguar quais as formas e suportes iconográficos criados nos centros livreiros alemães. Os relatos de viagens como os de portugueses, entre outros, serão edi-tados, em língua alemã, em edições de grande mérito artístico e cultural, pelo que intentar-se-á perceber o papel desta mediação.
China is one of the countries which most attrac-ted European attention in the 17th and 18th cen-tury. The first travellers expressed surprise and admiration at a society of great wealth, riches and police. The image drawn of Asian society and culture was a present topic in European knowledge networks, especially in Germany, which has always shown great interest in appropriating news and knowledge about “new worlds”. This article therefore addresses the importance that China played in Germany’s publishing sec-tor, trying to show which (kind of) works on China were printed in Germany in the 17th century. What role did the publisher play in the construction and dissemination of travel accounts? What networks and groups of cultural agents were interested in news and images about China? That the printing industry in Europe had great influence on the representation of China is well known. However, it is important to find out what iconographic forms and media were created in German book centres. Travellers’ accounts such as those of the Portuguese, among others, were published in editions of great artistic and cultu-ral merit, which allows to understand the role of this mediation.
