Je recopie le programme du colloque, que j’ai lu sur un message de la liste électronique J-Japan :

Early Modern Japan in European Archives

 
The flow of information linking Japan to Early Modern Europe has been the subject of numerous scholarly analyses over the years. In fact, European archival source-materials attesting to this connection provide a perspective often unavailable through other sources, which proves to be of great help to the study of Japanese history and society in the wider framework of the early-modern European focus on Asia. With this in mind, this conference aims to produce a difference kind of encounter between researchers by bringing together those with a specific expertise in European intellectual history and European contact with Asia with those whose research focuses more on Japan. The idea underpinning this conference is that this flow of information can be mapped in part by comparing the characteristics of various European archival collections and individual documents with the trends in European perceptions of Japan.  In addition, this research process reveals clues for understanding Japanese historical evidence in a global context.
