The first is related with the seminal work of P. Curtin on cross-cultural trade. This approach maintains that in order to maximize their profits, merchants established business partnerships and trade interactions with agents from different geographies, religions and cultures. A more recent theoretical perspective sustains that Early Modern European empires were built as much by the formal structures involved in trade monopolies as by the initiative of private agents who frequently escaped public control and fostered trading activities with formal enemies. Acting as free-riders, these agents established contacts free of any institutional or national control or guidance. Cooperation and self-organization arise as key concepts in the understanding of the functioning of such systems. This panel will run under these theoretical premises. The Indian Ocean is a perfect laboratory for trans-national and trans-cultural commercial exchanges. Muslim, Hindu, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other merchants tried to trade with each other, cooperating in business partnerships and creating a self-organized system in order to increase their profits. At the dawn of the Early Modern era, Europeans disrupted the existing structures and directly interfered with pre-existing trade dynamics. Even if institutionally-driven commercial systems were created the Portuguese state monopoly on spices, or the VOC or EIC trade monopolies, for example individual agents soon realized that they would maximize their revenues by interacting with local and foreign merchants in the region. This session aims at analyzing how the presence of European agents forced an adaptation of the trading system, describing how Europeans fostered business relationships with Asian agents, despite the constraints imposed by the European rulers upon such self-organized trade mingling. On the one hand, the session will highlight mechanisms and rules of fostering and sustaining trade and trust relationships between agents from distinct cultural backgrounds. On the other hand, it will aim at a comparative approach with other economic spaces, as the Atlantic world, with which the East became irrevocably connected, although always based on the Asian seas.

Link: EPISTEMOLOGIAS DO SUL: Contextos de Investigação Este número temático é dedicado a refletir acerca das Epistemologias do Sul como enquadramento teórico e metodológico para pensar, em termos metafóricos, o Sul o Sul como espaço social e cultural periférico no contexto das experiências coloniais, imperiais e de exploração capitalista nos territórios colonizados pelas potências europeias. Mas, em paralelo a esse objetivo, trata-se de pensar e dialogar com um Sul socialmente produzido como ausente, inexistente, incapaz e marginal na possibilidade de se imaginar como fonte produtora de conhecimentos sociais no mundo quer global, quer local.
