In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Europeans from the highest to the lowest echelons displayed their mastery of the world through Kunstkammer (Cabinets of Curiosity), Maps, collections, and Libraries. To possess and display items suggested a mastery over their contents. In this session, we will examine the ways in which occult and cultural objects and texts conveyed mastery and power in real and imagined ways. In the second part of the class, we will discuss how these practices have influenced our own collections, displays and altars.
