International exchange in European cultural life in the 19th and 20th centuries From the early nineteenth century till themiddle of the twentieth century, cultures in Europe were primarily national. They were organized and conceived of as attributes of the nation states. Nonetheless, these national cultures crossed borders with an unprecedentedintensity even before globalization transformed the very concept of culture. During that long period, European cultures have imported and exported products, techniques, values, and ideas, relying on invisible but efficient internationalnetworks. The central agents of these networks are considered mediators:translators, publishers, critics, artists, art dealers and collectors, composers. These agents were not only the true architects of interculturaltransfer, they also largely contributed to the shaping of a common canon and ofaesthetic values that became part of the history of national cultures. Cultural Mediation in Europe, 1800-1950 analysesthe strategic transfer roles of cultural mediators active in large parts of Western Europe in domains as varied as literature, music, visual arts, and design.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Contributors Amelie Auzoux (Universite Paris IV-Sorbonne), Christophe Charle (Universite Paris I-Pantheon-Sorbonne), Kate Kangaslahti (KU Leuven), Vesa Kurkela (University of the Arts, Helsinki), Anne O Connor (University of Galway), Saijaleena Rantanen (University of the Arts, Helsinki), Agnes Anna Sebestyen (Hungarian Museum of Architecture, Budapest), Inmaculada Seron Ordonez (University of Malaga), Renske Suijver (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), Tom Toremans (KU Leuven), Dirk Weissmann (Universite Toulouse Jean-Jaures)
