Domesticating Goods from Overseas: Global Material Culture in the Early Modern Netherlands
This essay is based on the notion that the early modern world was shaped by connections that stretched across geographical, political and cultural boundaries. The mobility of early modern people, ideas and things, and the networks they created and relied on, facilitated flows of material and immaterial interactions. Within that early modern connected world, material culture played a key role. Goods ranging from treasured, unique objects to commodities traded in vast quantities always accumulate layers of meanings as they move through time and space. By looking at a number of things in circulation in the early modern Netherlands, we can identify them as both 'global', in the sense of having travelled across long distances, having accumulated associations with the exotic, and as 'local', part of the cultural practices we have come to think of as Dutch. Methodologically, this essay combines a close reading of the idealized representations of things in domestic spaces we encounter in paintings with an analysis of the materiality, design and historical trajectories of the things themselves. Tracing global and local aspects of design as it appears in idealized representations and in early modern Dutch historical objects, I argue that embodied experiences play key roles in the domestication of goods from overseas. I seek to show that through vision and touch, and the proximity of objects to bodies in domestic environments, goods from all over the world become part of the material culture of the seventeenth-century Netherlands. As exotic goods and materials become part of the domestic environment, global goods gain local meanings, and simultaneously bestow new layers of meaning on the material culture of the early modern Netherlands.

\What about FH of my child?\ parents' opinion on family history collection in preventive primary pediatric care
: Family history (FH) in Preventive Primary Pediatric Care is to identify children at risk for complex diseases and provide personal preventive strategies. This study was to assess parents' opinion on FH collection.
: Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Among issues addressed were: former experiences with FH, knowledge about FH, family definition and sharing information about FH.
: The importance of FH for participants depended on their knowledge, perceived family health status and former experiences. After insight into FH, parents shift to believing it to be important, but certain barriers exist in reporting FH.
: Parents suggest that the importance of FH should be more emphasized and more trusting relationship with Preventive Primary Pediatric Care should be invested in.

Material Culture and the Other: European Encounters with Chinese Porcelain, ca. 1650-1800
The consumption of Asian luxury goods in early modern Europe has generated a large volume of scholarly research, much of it exploring connections between the exotic object and the identity of the consumer. Links between luxury goods and perceptions of producers in the early modern world remain relatively unexplored. To what extent did European travelers imagine a connection between material culture and Chinese identity or \"Chineseness\"? Through a close reading of seventeenth- and eighteenthcentury travel accounts, this article traces changing European perceptions of material culture and the \"other,\" that is, perceived links between luxury objects and their Chinese producers.

Global China: Material Culture and Connections in World History
The multidisciplinary articles in this special issue were developed in conjunction with a research project on the cultures of porcelain in global history, hosted by the Global History and Culture Centre at the University of Warwick. These articles all situate porcelain within wider contexts of material and visual culture. This approach reveals the complexities of the processes involved in the appropriation of Chinese ceramics in England and Iran and in the diffusion of Chinese-style ceramics in the western Indian Ocean, and explores the ways in which ideas about Chineseness were formed, and a global visual culture on the theme of porcelain production emerged.

Fragments of a Global Past: Ceramics Manufacture in Song-Yuan-Ming Jingdezhen
This essay explores textual genres related to the production of ceramics in Jingdezhen, including maps, literati collections, the literature of connoisseurship, local gazetteers, and merchant manuals. An analysis of these genres brings the Chinese textual record of ceramics into sharper focus and reveals what has remained unwritten. Whereas European writings on Chinese ceramics from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries dwell on modes of manufacture in a global context, Chinese writers generally ignore matters of technology and commerce beyond the confines of the Chinese realm. These omissions emerge in part from the peculiarities of the genres within which these writings have been transmitted. Cet essai examine les différents genres de textes qui ont trait à la production de la céramique dans Jingdezhen. Parmi ces textes, il se trouve des cartes géographiques, des collections d'écrits de 'literati', des monographies locales et des manuels de commerce. L'analyse de ces genres permet d'approfondir notre compréhension de la tradition écrite au sujet de la céramique, tout en révélant en même temps, ce qui reste implicite en ces textes. Les auteurs chinois ne s'attardent pas aux questions de technologie, ni au commerce au-delà des confins de l'Empire chinois. Le présent essai suggère que ces omissions s'expliquent par les conventions des genres auxquels ces écrits appartiennent.
