“Natural History”, Special Issue,
Crossroads Journal Vol. 23.2.
The early modern world was not only a world of increasing interconnectivity in terms of trades and travels, but fostered a systematic exploration of hitherto unknown territories and peoples, constituting the birth hour of all kinds of 'natural histories.'
In our forthcoming issue of Crossroads, 23.2, we plan a special issue on 'natural history' and the transfer of plants, (ethno-)botanical, geological, and (ethno-)medicinal knowledge across the Asian Pacific and Indian Ocean worlds, 16th to early 19th centuries. We intend particularly to stress 'science migration' between Asian and European agents and the exploration and examination of Asian flora, and their local biological, (ethno-)medicinal, and geological environments by European travelers.
The range of topics shall also include studies on exchanges of material objects (plants, minerals, books, instruments, etc.), on the transplantation of certain plants, the setting up of botanical gardens, the use of special herbs and plants in local food cultures or medicinal practices, and/or the compilation of special 'natural histories'.
Authors who are interested in submitting a paper to this special issue should submit their papers through our online tool linked below, indicating/marking it as "Special Issue: Natural History". Otherwise, our general submission guidelines apply.
