Zusammenfassung:Verlagsinfo: "The nineteenth-century ocean world inspired a multifaceted material discourse intersecting with scientific exploration, colonial expansion, industrialization, and the rise of middle-class leisure. From the seashore to the seabed, marine organisms and environments, made tangible through processing and representational technologies, captivated practitioners and audiences. How did scientists, artists, dealers, designers, manufacturers and amateur enthusiasts experience and value the sea and its products? This book examines the commoditization of the ocean world through oceanic objects transacted across the realms of art, science, and culture. Combining essays and case studies by scholars, curators, and scientists, Sea Currents in Nineteenth-Century Art, Science and Culture investigates the collecting and display, illustration and ornamentation, and trade and consumption of marine flora and fauna, analysing their material, aesthetic and commercial dimensions. Traversing global art history, the history of science, empire studies, anthropology, ecocriticism and material culture, this volume surveys the currency of marine matter embedded in the economies and ecologies of a modernizing ocean world"
