IMAGINING HISTORY, PLACE, AND IDENTITY IN THE EARLY MODERN WORLD:
PERSPECTIVES FROM OTTOMAN, SAFAVID, MUGHAL, AND HABSBURG VISUAL CULTURE
Boğaziçi University, Cultural Heritage Museum, 12 January 2013, Saturday
 
The first Boğaziçi workshop of a related theme, also organized within
the framework of Boğaziçi University History Department’s
participation in the Getty Foundation’s Connecting Art Histories
initiative was held in March 2012, and explored issues of connectivity
and juncture between traditions and practices of visual representation
in contiguous periods and geographies encompassing the Byzantine,
Ottoman, and Persian worlds. We now address early modern connections,
dialogues, and distinct trends in pictorial representation in a
broader geography encompassing the Safavid, Ottoman, Mughal, and
Habsburg domains. Papers explore uses and meanings of historical,
spatial, and literary imagery in particular contexts and in response
to particular loci and conjunctures. They present inquiries into the
roles of visual imagery in the making of cultural identities, and
provide comparative insights into visual articulations of historical
and spatial imaginaries in the early modern world.
