Through Antonio and Shylock's bond-of-flesh, the play invites audiences to witness the genesis and development of a new mode of interrelationality, evoked by the melancholic condition, propelled by desire for violence, and ensured through risking death. Drawing from Georges Bataille's \"law,\" which insists that human beings are only united to each other through rents and wounds, this article details the way that The Merchant of Venice mobilizes an imaginative possibility whereby damage and vulnerability constitute communion. Contrasting such communion with Venetian sociality, this essay identifies the paradox that sociality—premised as it is on the protection of integral, bounded selves and undergirded by the ideology of possessive individualism—disallows the union for which sacrificial communion strives. Unexpectedly, the destruction and self-abnegation expressed by both Antonio and Shylock catalyze a costly and crucial rethinking of community, one that privileges risk and loss over the rational self-preservation essential to the Christian republican view of community.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"107 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66404461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report came from the narrative of Isaac Tullie, a teenage boy and staunch Royalist partisan, who was resident in Carlisle during the siege. Tullie's account used the medium of the ghost to give meaning to his traumatic experience of the siege, which occurred as the Royalist cause collapsed in England in late 1644 and 1645. However, this was complicated by the fact that the ghost was that of a dead Parliamentarian-aligned soldier, who was reported to have changed sides to the Royalists after death. British conceptions of ghosts in this period were confused, with purgatorial, demonic, and divine explanations competing with one another. This ambiguity provided Tullie with a conceptual space to both recognize the heroism of an enemy and to reaffirm divine support for his own cause. The article links this case study to other debates current in the historiography of the British Civil Wars, most significantly side-changing and the emergent scholarship of civilian and military trauma during the period.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"54 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45495839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing these texts in conversation with Jesuit writings from around the early modern world, this essay demonstrates that the Jesuits in Cartagena employed Black women as interpreters as part of a strategy of accommodation more common to their missions in Asia than Iberian America. To justify their approach in Cartagena, the Jesuits frame Black women interpreters as analogous figures to Jesus's women followers in the New Testament. While the biblical analogies permitted the Jesuits to mention Black women's roles as intercessors in missionary writings, the same figurative language occluded a more specific view of what significance the work of translation might have had for the women themselves and the African new arrivals for whom they interpreted. Reconstructing the context of these portrayals reveals some of the ideological effects of the missionary texts and serves to shed light on the patterns of gendered language used to describe all auxiliary evangelical interpreters throughout Iberian missionary projects in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66404403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does not sever translation, and language to wit, from people who practice and wield it. In contrast, cultural history of translation has maintained our sights on textual translation and traditions, imbricated as it is in the European heritage of the philosophy of translation of the Romantic period (Herder, Schleiermacher, Benjamin, down to Berman, Derrida, Cassin, and Apter).1 The focus on textuality—relations between texts, between ideas, and between traditions—rather than on sociality—relations between people or relations between people and translational outcomes—has been especially the hallmark of research in the period traditionally defined for Europe as medieval, and less so for the early modern period whose scholarship has been interested in intermediary figures and biographies for several decades.2 The enormous promise of a social history of translation for the whole of the premodern period (by which I mean medieval and early modern, as traditionally defined in the study of Europe and the Mediterranean) is then to allow an integrated and holistic analysis of people and texts, of orality and writing, of ephemeral phenomena and material traces. This is indeed the challenge that this special issue meets with success because it advances significantly our epistemologies and methodologies of the history of translation when it reinscribes agency and contingency at the heart of communication.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"164 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47991711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
