Ramón de Santiago researches the trans-Pacific transfer of visual and material culture between South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America in the Early Modern period, with a particular interest in pre-colonial systems of inscription in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Southeast China Sea. Theoretical interests include questions of historiography in trans-oceanic systems, and visual and material practices as evidence of ethnographic refusals.
