【 摘 要 】

Confined at home at a time when the pandemic has imposed unprecedented limits on our mobility and heightened our awareness about the now-lost advantages of ready access to books and archives, trips to research sites, and spontaneous encounters with colleagues, reflecting on mobility is truly a timely exercise. In the field of art history, the last few decades have evidenced a growing interest in mobility and contact, a productive undertaking especially as the field continues its attempt to escape national parameters and expand its focus beyond “fine arts” and “masterpiece culture” to “artifacts” and “material culture.” The growing number of publications in this area confirms the rising interest in the circulation of objects and their multiple lives, meanings, and interpretations as they moved within the mercantile and diplomatic nexuses that connected Asia, Africa, and Europe even prior to the nineteenthcentury boost in global mobility.
