Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims: Introduction to the issues of artistic interactions and global art history. Introduction to an important example of artistic encounter in the medieval period. Introduction to Islamic art in the medieval period.
Contents: The artistic interactions between the Islamic world and China in the medieval period are a very interesting case study of “global art history”. The course will first address the conceptual and theoretical implications of notions such as exchange, influence or the so called global Middle Ages. It will then look at the historical contexts of artistic relations, from multi-cultural empires to land and sea trade routes (the so called silk, musk, paper, porcelain roads…). It will then focus on the main areas of artistic encounters between the Islamic world and China, i. e. textiles, ceramics, painting and iconography. There will also be a special focus on the Mongol period (13th-14th C.), which is marked by a much higher level of connection and a deeper mutual interest and knowledge. The course will end with an examination of Islamic art that is exported to or created in China (mosques, Qur’anic manuscripts…).
Methods: Reading, critical reading, confrontation of views, research, observation, description, analysis, comparison, discussion.
