- CHINESE AND JAPANESE INFLUENCE ON COLONIAL MEXICAN FURNITURE: THE ACHINADO FOLDING SCREENS Alberto Baena Zapatero Historia Mexico chinoiserie Globalization folding screens The movement of people, objects and ideas that led to the Iberian expansion has been identified as the beginning of a process of cultural exchanges with profound impact on culture and art of the Spanish empire. The present paper aims to link the development of a global economy with one of its most representative art forms, the biombos or folding screens. Therefore, we will relate the specific circumstances of the Viceroyalty of New Spain in the seventeenth century with the development of a local folding screens industry with its own characteristics related to the tastes of the emerging Creole identity. Finally, the emergence of a language achinado or a la moda China in the Mexican folding screens allows us to question the passive role assigned to the Spanish empire in the development of a chinoiserie itself. 2010 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36129852005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Vol.20
