Begum Ozden Fyrat proposes instead a radical re-reading of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century miniatures in the light of contemporary critical theory, highlighting the viewer's encounter with the image. Encounters with the Ottoman Miniature employs contemporary concepts such as the gaze, frame/framing, reading and re-reading, drawing on thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze to establish the vibrant cultural agency of miniature paintings. With analysis that illuminates both the social and political situations in which these miniatures were painted as well as emphasising the miniature's contemporary relevance, Firat presents an important new re-imagining of this art form--Bloomsbury Publishing."Islamic illumination of books and manuscriptsTurkeyHistoryIslamic miniature paintingTurkeyHistoryHistory of art / art & design stylesBICIslamic illumination of books and manuscriptsHistory.Islamic miniature paintingHistory.History of art / art & design styles.745.670943751.770956Firat Begüm Özden1676017UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910819466103321Encounters with the Ottoman miniature4092291UNINA
