Kommentar
Trading Companies have been identified as important agents of the European expansion in the early modern period. Being interested in trade by definition, these so-called chartered monopoly companies established mercantile networks but soon took on governmental and military functions. In the case of the East India Company (EIC), founded in 1600, it has been argued that the trading company acted as a colonial power in Asia and was designed as a “Company state” from its founding. While being attentive to the company as an agent of colonial power this course engages with another current trend in historiography: trading companies as agents of knowledge production. In this course we will primarily discuss this more recent cultural approach to the EIC and test the idea of knowledge as a geographical concept between the local and the global. Schließen
