SUMMARY: In the Early Modern age, Portugal was among the first European countries to engage in overseas trade and colonial ventures. The influx of new people and things rapidly transformed it into a multicultural country in permanent contact with the rest of Europe and the wider world. While we possess a vast amount of knowledge describing the overseas contacts and acquisition of goods from historical documents, in recent years archaeological excavations have begun to reveal direct evidence of these interactions. This includes thousands of people and objects such as ceramics, ivory and stone artefacts produced in overseas territories in Africa, South America and Asia. They were exported in vast amounts to several European countries, and are frequently found in archaeological excavations. These commodities were in part responsible for changing European perceptions of the world, its dimensions and cultural plurality. They also rapidly left their mark on European goods production, leading to changes in aesthetics and the introduction of new forms. This paper will discuss some of these objects in terms of how they reflect an Early Modern globalized world, and their influence on European daily life.

全球化,贸易和物质文化:葡萄牙在建立多元文化的欧洲中的作用(1415-1806年)

摘要:在近代早期,葡萄牙是最早从事海外贸易和殖民活动的欧洲国家之一。新人们和新事物的涌入使它迅速发展成为一个与欧洲其他地区以及整个世界保持长期联系的多元文化国家。尽管我们拥有大量的知识来描述海外联系和从历史文献中获取商品,但近年来,考古发掘已开始揭示这些相互作用的直接证据。其中包括成千上万的人和物体,例如在非洲,南美和亚洲的海外领土上生产的陶瓷,象牙和石头制品。它们大量出口到几个欧洲国家,并经常在考古发掘中发现。这些商品在一定程度上导致了欧洲对世界,其规模和文化多元化的看法的改变。他们还迅速在欧洲商品生产中留下了自己的印记,从而导致了美学的变化和新形式的引入。本文将就这些对象如何反映早期现代全球化世界及其对欧洲日常生活的影响进行讨论。
