Globalization of Wine Culture (17-18^th centuries): 

The Dutch East India Company and the Court Journey to Edo 

 

Speaker: Joji Nozawa

 

The history of wine consumption throughout the world remains largely unexplored and unwritten. Drawing on a range of sources, including the archives of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and several contemporary travel accounts from the 17^th and 18^th centuries, this lecture focuses on two key aspects: firstly, the consumption of wine by European expatriates in maritime Asia, and secondly, the emergence of a local market, primarily in Japan, during the Edo period. Wine is a product that allows us to connect diverse cultures and societies that existed in early modern times.

 

 

Joji Nozawa is a professor at Waseda University. He holds a Ph.D. in early modern history from the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) and teaches history of East-West relations and French language at the Faculty of Education. His research interests include the European East India Companies, the globalization of material culture and French cultural diplomacy.

 

 

This hybrid lecture will be held on site (registration from here) and via Zoom (meeting ID: 829 4753 0025 ).
