Argumentaire :
In this workshop, we embark on a captivating exploration of the dynamics that shaped knowledge production in the early modern period between the Spanish-Iberian and East Asia worlds. The exchange of ideas between different regions has played a pivotal role in modifying and transforming scientific thought. The focal point of this workshop lies not solely within the confines of Western European contexts, but extends its reach to encompass diverse parts of the early modern world where the understanding of nature flourished and disseminated. Notably, our discussions encompass the invaluable contributions of East Asia and the Americas to this knowledge nexus.
