The City Objectified
When was the city visually regarded and depicted as a comprehensive and intact entity? Going beyond historiographical conventions and temporal boundaries, this study discusses the specific and crucial moments of discovering the image of the city as a whole, its wide-ranging skyline, full profile, and clear outer borders. Thus, histories of the formation of the distant gaze, a sort of visual withdrawal which enabled us to capture the city as a who…
An Introduction to Approaching Architecture in the Muslim World
“What a Small World”
How many times have we heard the phrase “what a small world”? We exclaim this expression during specific moments in our lives when we suddenly discover a personal connection in an unexpected context. In this moment, not only does the unexpected and unpredictable present itself in a space where we did not anticipate it but what previously seemed distant and remote appears, all of a sudden, extremely near and incredibly close, so relevant and relat…
The Mediterranean Other - The other Mediterranean
Today, we particularly encounter the Mediterranean Other in the “refugee”. Scientific, political and public discourses on the Mediterranean are — continuously or most recently? — determined by hegemonial perspectives. Considering other perceptions, interpretations and representations seems to be impossible in light of financial crises, the new South, blurring borders and unclear securities. The contributions in this volume dispute this form of th…

Treasures of the Sea
The sea, like an embryo or a foetus, seems to represent «a sort of first stage in the advancement of superior life forms». Its fluid character suggests an early age of our world’s foundation, before fluid turns to stone. It appears as an archaic cosmos into which one descends in order to find hidden treasures in its depths. How did artisans work, shape, and integrate the varied materials of the sea into an artistic oeuvre? Which meanings were att…
Art, Space, Mobility in Early Ages of Globalization”
“Art, Space, Mobility in Early Ages of Globalization” aims to promote a new history of art that recognizes the complex and diverse connections forged between the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent from the fourth through the sixteenth centuries. Over the past four years, this project has brought together more than one hundred junior scholars from countries around the world, including Georgia, Armenia,…
Nazi-Looted Art and Its Legacies
In early 2012 German officials investigating violations of tax law discovered a trove of mainly nineteenth-and early twentieth-century European paintings and drawings in the Munich apartment and Salzburg house of Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive son of the prominent art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt.The elder Gurlitt had worked for the Nazis but also counted a number of artists despised by them among his friends.Since then, the story of the Gurlitt c…
Experientia and Auctoritas
This short study looks into the mind of the Ayyubid intellectual Abd al-Latif al-Baghdadi, also known as al-Labbad, who was born in Baghdad in 1162 and died there in 1231–32 at the age of 69. The focus of this article is his famous book Kitāb al-Ifāda wa’l-iʿtibār fi’l-umūr al-mushāhada wa’l-ḥawadith al-muʿāyana bi-arḍ Miṣr (The Book of Instruction and Admonition on the Things Seen [ mushāhada ] and Events Recorded [ muʿāyana ] in the Land of Egy…

The Image of the Prophet between Ideal and Ideology
By crossing disciplinary boundaries in the field of the humanities, this volume aims to elucidate Muhammad’s visualization in the West vis-à-vis his image in Islam. It does so not by relegating materials to geographical and/or linguistic spheres or by separating texts from images. Rather, it seeks to place various articles in thematic and theoretical conversation so as to explore more broadly how the Prophet has been constructed, visualized, narr…
Qu’est-ce que l’espace méditerranéen au Moyen Âge
Ces dernières années, la Méditerranée a été régulièrement invoquée par les historiens de l’art à titre de cadre conceptuel – plus que géographique – nous permettant d’appréhender quelques-unes des dynamiques les plus remarquables qui sous-tendent la production, l’usage et la réception des artefacts dans le monde médiéval. De nombreux spécialistes en histoire de l’art ont ressenti le besoin de traverser les frontières séparant les domaines de rech…
Constructing the Image of Muhammad in Europe
the volume represents a significant contribution to the complex history of the conceptualization and pictorialization of the Prophet Muhammad in the West. It gives a rapid and though deep overview of the history of the making of an image of the Prophet Muhammad in Europe and thus reflects the whole history of the making of the image of Islam in the Latin West, from the early medieval times till the 19th century. The book also provides the reader …
Transition, Flow, and Divergent Times
The Western academy's growing interest in the contemporary arts in the Arab world illustrates the desire to map “Islam”—problematic as this term is—within the global history of cultures and to integrate it into “Western” models of the writing and documenting of the past. As positive and corrective as these academic approaches may seem, the notion of recording time—that is, writing history—is still firmly bound at the beginning of the 21st century…
Über die Notwendigkeit, zeitgenössisch zu sein
After One Hundred Years
The exhibition "Meisterwerke muhammedanischer Kunst" that took place in Munich in 1910 marked a turning point in the approach to Islamic Art. The show attempted to break free of Orientalism and exotic fantasies and, in doing so, set a new standard for the reception of Islamic art in Europe. Moreover, naming the Islamic artefacts masterpieces, it layed claim to bestow upon Islamic art “a place equal to that of other cultural periods”. This book is…

Au-delà de la grammaire et de la taxinomie
Le terme d’« ornement » a été un vrai topos – et l’est encore aujourd’hui – lorsqu’il s’agit de définir et de décrire un art soi-disant « islamique ». Il importe d’éclairer cette position de manière critique : dans les études pré-scientifiques sur l’ornement menées par des théoriciens de l’art du xixe siècle tels qu’Owen Jones, on constate le point de départ pour une approche essentialiste et taxinomique de l’ornement, laquelle, par l’intermédiai…
Exceeding Realism
From a sociocultural point of view, the term modern and its implications have formed, shaped, and even dictated the collective identity of the twentieth century. Therefore, questions relating to the birth of this term, its assessment, its manipulative methods, and especially its mechanisms of use, appliance, and adaptation must be critically addressed. The discourse of modernism within the postcolonial context in Asia and Africa seems to be unavo…

The Oliphant
Setting a group of medieval carved ivory horns in the specific artistic and historical context in which they were manufactured, used and re-used, this book presents a mine of information for the study of medieval history. The first chapters explore such technical aspects as the cutting and carving of oliphants, and also the broader issues of the morphology of ivory and its availability in the Mediterranean basin in the Middle Ages. On the basis o…
