Later in the book, discussions of the interplay between emotions and the imagination move from Europe to missionary audiences encountered by Jesuits across the globe. In Makoto Harris Takao's “‘In What Storms of Blood from Christ's Flock Is Japan Swimming?’: Gratia Hosokawa and the Performative Representation of Japanese Martyrdom in Mulier Fortis (1698),” the author argues that the Jesuits in Japan imaginatively transformed the life of a female Japanese Christian aristocrat into a vocation that invited the emulation of European noblewomen. In “Jesuits and Music in Guam and the Marianas, 1668–1769,” David Irving draws upon archival documents to reconstruct missionary encounters between Jesuits and the native Chamorro people.
