Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this course is to provide tools to examine objects of various forms, functions, materials, and techniques from the Islamic world and to understand the history of collecting, displaying, and conserving Islamic art in Vienna. The course will investigate mobilities of objects across different regions and period with a focus on their different channels of movement such as diplomacy, war, trade, and travel. It will look into afterlives and reuses of objects from the middle ages to the present, as well as current debates on Islamic art.
Assessment and permitted materials
This is a course with continuous assessment requiring active contribution of students. The classes will start with readings and discussions and continue with in-person or virtual visits to Viennese museums to examine objects from the Islamic world. Each student will select an object, make a presentation about it, and write a catalogue entry for it. The student will study his/her selected object with its context and counterparts, while displaying an understanding of secondary literature.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Critical approach to sources, adequate knowledge in analyzing objects, and awareness of comparative literature.
