When European travelers went overseas in the sixteenth century they encountered unfamiliar lands peoples and sights These travelers had to represent these encounters to Europeans for whom they stood for the unfamiliarthe exotic But the exotic according to Peter Mason is not something that exists prior to its discovery Rather he points out it is the very act of discovery that produces the exotic as suchIn Infelicities Peter Mason explores the texts paintings drawings photographs and museum displays in which the exotic has been represented from the early modern period to the present He describes the unique iconography that Europeans developed to represent the exotic and the means they employed to display it once artifacts were brought to Europe In both instances the exotic object is taken out of its original context and given a meaning and significance it never had this new meaning and significance Mason argues are derived from the imposition of European cultural values and the need to recontextualize the object in a European settingTo differentiate the exotic from the other Mason says that in understanding the other there is engagement and interchange in encountering the exotic it is a onesided effort at understanding the exotic object never gives up its meaning The title of the book Infelicities comes from philosopher J L Austin who used the term to refer to what happens when something goes wrong on the occasion of an act of utterance For Mason this doctrine of infelicities seems applicable to European encounters with the exotic and the efforts to represent thoseencounters
