“…Another field of research that has drawn significant attention is the contacts between Ayutthaya and France, particularly the Thai embassies to the court of Louis XIV in the 1680s. In line with the turn toward intercultural perspectives and new diplomatic history, the focus of interest has been mainly on the cultural aspects of the diplomatic encounters and relations, including studies of royal ceremonies (Love, 1996), music (Irving, 2012), and gifts and material culture (Martin, 2015; Riello, 2017).…”

The history of treaty‐making, diplomacy, and international law has traditionally been written from Eurocentric perspectives, but since the middle of the 20th century, Southeast Asia has attracted relatively much attention because of the region's importance for the 17th‐century Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius. More recently, however, the interest in Southeast Asia's role in the history of international law and diplomacy in the early modern period has become more oriented toward understanding the dynamics of international relations and cross‐cultural diplomacy in Southeast Asia itself, rather than focusing on the region's role in European legal and intellectual history. The prolific treaty‐making and other diplomatic activities of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during the 17th and 18th centuries have been the object of several studies, highlighting how the company adopted Asian practices of statecraft and at times functioned as a traditional ruler, tributary or stranger‐king, rather than as an omnipotent colonial power. Moreover, several recent studies have expanded the study of diplomacy and treaty‐making in Southeast Asia to imperial powers other than the VOC and into the 19th century. With regard to the practice of treaty‐making during the colonial era, three main themes in the current state‐of‐the‐art are identified: 1) Southeast Asian and inter‐cultural perspectives on treaties and treaty‐making; 2) the question of mutual consent or coercion and violence in treaty‐making; and 3) discrepancies between Asian and European treaty texts and biases in printed and digitised compilations of treaties.

“…A esse respeito, estudos recentes sobre chinoiserie e turquerie procuram entender as agendas dos atores envolvidos e as razões de ser dos objetos (SLOBODA, 2014;AVCIOGLU, 2011). Por exemplo, a troca de peças de laca na corte de Luís XIV deve ser reintegrada a uma história econômica, nos interesses da França em novos mercados e na implementação de indústrias no Sião (MARTIN, 2015).…”

Com a ajuda de exemplos provenientes dos domínios das artes decorativas e das belas-artes, mostramos que o brilho das superfícies se torna um dos objetivos maiores da economia das chinoiseries. Os artesãos e artistas suíços tinham conhecimento das porcelanas, das lacas e dos tecidos que se difundiram por toda a Europa, e sua circulação estava ligada às ambições diplomáticas e econômicas dos países envolvidos (China, Japão, Sião, França, Alemanha, Inglaterra, Holanda...). No continente é, portanto, uma questão de dominar essas técnicas para desenvolvê-las e comercializá-las. Além disso, os atores procuram traduzir o brilho e a textura em diferentes meios: os objetos importados da China ou do Japão transformam desse modo o universo sensorial europeu, estimulando a imitação de certas matérias e resultados plásticos, como o brilho e o perolado. Por exemplo, na natureza morta da coleção Getty, o pintor genebrino Jean-Etienne Liotard é diretamente confrontado com as propriedades materiais e formais das lacas asiáticas, introduzindo um novo horizonte visual e tátil na Europa.
