Throughout the course, we will discuss and examine a selection of paradigmatic works of art produced in a range of media, to include architecture, painting, textiles, metalwork, ceramics, woodwork, and video. We will discuss the cultural, political and religious milieu in which these works were produced. In addition to questions regarding actual and possible intentions of patrons and artists, we will consider the social agency of these objects and monuments in an analytical manner. The material will be approached historically, geographically and chronologically; throughout the course the features and themes that unify the diverse artistic trends produced throughout the Islamic world will be discussed.
