Tautz, Birgit.

Reading and seeing ethnic differences in the Enlightenmentfrom China to Africa /[electronic resource] :Brigit Tautz. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - 236 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [207]-222) and index.

Hegel at the Limits of -- Threads of a Texture: Leibniz's Translation of China -- Reading Sovereign Subjectivity via China -- Detailed Ethnicity. Perception and Gender in Travel Accounts -- Bodies on Stage: Late Eighteenth-Century Aesthetics of Race -- The Texture of History, the Color of Selves: The Turn to the Modern.

This book investigates the contested ways in which eighteenth-century German philosophers, scientists, poets, and dramatists perceived and represented China and Africa from 1680 to 1830. Tautz demonstrates in compelling ways that reading China allowed for the integration of cultural difference into Enlightenment universalism, whereas seeing Africa exposed irreducible differences that undermined any claims of universality. By working through the case of eighteenth-century Germany and Europe, the book adds an important cross-cultural and historical dimension toquestions relevant to our world today.
