Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How did the early modern Ottomans imagine the world beyond their borders? What perspectives did they take in and how does this worldview transpire into art making? What conventions for image making were established, abandoned, and kept between the 16th and 19th century? What were the main media used and how did the preferences shift according to taste and contacts?This interdisciplinary seminar explores the shifting concepts of what Islamic art from the Ottoman realm was and how it is contextualized today. To grasp the conditions of art making in this period, we will consider political, ecological, social, and economic events that had an impact, from the inflation through silver found in the new world, to the little ice age, the invention of the printing press to the impact of the first tourism. Our framework is defined by the processes and dynamics changing the nature of artmaking in this period, ranging from trade, diplomacy, and war to persecution.The multi-media material we will cover includes maps, costume albums, epigraphy, charitable architecture, calligraphy, and textiles from the biggest expansion of the Ottoman Empire in 1520 to the late nineteenth century. The goal of the course is to study how art functions as a historical source; what image making in the Islamic world entails; how an-iconic art works; what innovation and techniques changed artmaking in the Ottoman world, how early modern cartography and conquests were related, and why orientalism and self-imaging are connected.
