Hakluyt 400 Commemorative Series Enhance

项目摘要

2016 marks the 400th anniversary not only of Shakespeare's death but that of his contemporary, Richard Hakluyt, the key exponent of commercial and colonial expansion in the period. The program of events outlined here will greatly increase public awareness of the expanding world in the sixteenth century, the books and maps that informed this vision (and gave meaning to plays like Othello and The Tempest). The 400th anniversary of Hakluyt's death on 23 November 2016 provides a timely and unique opportunity to organize a series of free-to-attend knowledge exchange events, of exhibitions, workshops/symposia, lectures, and outward-facing publications. Running from October-December 2016, the Hakluyt@400 series is designed to enable attendees from wide and diverse backgrounds to understand and appreciate the importance of Hakluyt's editorial work to promote English overseas exploration, trade, and expansion, especially through understanding the significance of his collection of accounts of exploration, The Principal Navigations ... of the English Nation (1589; 2nd ed. 1598-1600). The impact and engagement program derive from a research project to produce the first-ever scholarly edition of Hakluyt's landmark publication, The Principal Navigations (1598-1600), with a team of 35 international scholars under the leadership of Prof. Claire Jowitt (PI) and Prof. Daniel Carey (CI) (the research has been previously supported by an AHRC Network Grant AH/L000687/1., and see also the project website http://www.hakluyt.org/). The project was inaugurated in 2008 with an international, publicly accessible conference on 'Richard Hakluyt (c.1552-1616): life, times, legacy' held at the National Maritime Museum, and is now reaching maturity with the first volumes scheduled for publication in 2017-. A key aim of the Hakluyt @400 series is to make publically available the scholarship informing the edition through exhibitions, lectures, and symposia. The series of events for autumn 2016 are organized in partnership with the Hakluyt Society, in particular with Anthony Payne, Vice President of the Society, Honorary Research Fellow at UEA, and the new edition's Textual Editor. Other project partners include Christ Church, the Museum of the History of Science, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Hakluyt published accounts by explorers, traders, and diplomats, well-known and obscure, as he sought to include the most up-to-date information about places, peoples, and commodities around the world, and about technical, navigational, and scientific developments. He was also a pioneer himself in the history of the book, introducing the genre of the travel writing collection to Anglophone readers, by assembling new and original information from his extensive range of contacts around the world, and editing, translating, and shaping this material for his readers. This vast body of material established a framework supportive of English commercial and colonial expansion: his project literally brought knowledge of the whole world into one book. The research shows the significance of Hakluyt's editorial labours in developing the nation's actual and anticipated role in a global economy. The objective of the Hakluyt@400 series is to foster knowledge exchange through a range of public activities showcasing Hakluyt's importance in English history and his cultural and scientific legacies. Activities range from stunningly-housed exhibitions (at Christ Church and the Bodleian Library, Oxford) that include visually arresting early modern maps, books, and manuscripts; to hands-on workshops where attendees will discover how to use Elizabethan astrolabes and chronometers (the cutting-edge technology of the day); public lectures by prominent broadcasters; and finally, 400 years almost to the day that Hakluyt was buried in Westminster Abbey, a commemorative service on 27 November 2016 and unveiling of a wall plaque in Hakluyt's honour at Wetheringsett, his final parish.

2016年是莎士比亚去世的400周年纪念日，而且是他当代的理查德·哈克卢特（Richard Hakluyt），这是该时期商业和殖民地扩张的关键指数。这里概述的事件计划将极大地提高公众对16世纪不断扩展的世界的认识，这些书籍和地图为这一愿景提供了信息（并具有诸如Othello和Tempest之类的戏剧）。 Hakluyt于2016年11月23日去世400周年，为组织一系列免费的知识交流活动提供了及时，独特的机会。 Hakluyt@400系列从2016年10月至12月开始，旨在使来自广泛和不同背景的与会者能够理解和欣赏Hakluyt的社论工作，以促进英语在海外探索，贸易和扩展中的重要性，尤其是通过理解探索收集的账目的重要性，英语国家（1589998）。 The impact and engagement program derive from a research project to produce the first-ever scholarly edition of Hakluyt's landmark publication, The Principal Navigations (1598-1600), with a team of 35 international scholars under the leadership of Prof. Claire Jowitt (PI) and Prof. Daniel Carey (CI) (the research has been previously supported by an AHRC Network Grant AH/L000687/1., and see also the project website http://www.hakluyt.org/）。该项目于2008年举行了一次国际公开访问的会议“理查德·哈克卢特（Richard Hakluyt）（C.1552-1616）：生活，时代，遗产”在国家海上博物馆举行，现在正以预定于2017年出版的第一卷成熟。 Hakluyt @400系列的主要目的是公开获得通过展览，讲座和研讨会来告知该版本的奖学金。 2016年秋季的一系列活动是与Hakluyt Society合作组织的，尤其是与社会副总裁Anthony Payne，UEA的荣誉研究员和新版本的Textual Editor组织。其他项目合作伙伴包括基督教堂，科学史博物馆以及牛津的Bodleian图书馆。 Hakluyt发表了探险家，商人和外交官的账目，这些账目众所周知和晦涩难懂，因为他试图在世界各地提供有关地方，人民和商品的最新信息，以及有关技术，导航和科学发展的信息。他还是本书历史上的先驱，通过从世界各地广泛的联系中组装新的和原创信息，并为他的读者组装，编辑，翻译和塑造此材料，从而向英语读者介绍了旅行写作系列的类型。这种庞大的材料建立了一个支持英国商业和殖民地扩张的框架：他的项目实际上将整个世界的知识带入了一本书。该研究表明，哈克卢特（Hakluyt）编辑劳动在发展全球经济中的实际和预期作用方面的重要性。 Hakluyt@400系列的目的是通过一系列公共活动来促进知识交流，展示了Hakluyt在英国历史及其文化和科学遗产中的重要性。活动范围从令人惊叹的展览（在基督教堂和牛津的Bodleian图书馆），包括在视觉上逮捕现代地图，书籍和手稿；进行实践研讨会，在那里与会者将发现如何使用伊丽莎白女王的星体标准和天文钟（当天的尖端技术）；著名广播公司的公开演讲；最后，几乎有400年的时间到哈克卢伊特（Hakluyt）被埋葬在威斯敏斯特大教堂（Westminster Abbey）的那一天，这是2016年11月27日的纪念活动，以及他的最后教区Wetheringsett的Hakluyt荣誉的墙壁牌匾揭幕。
