Shaw1st ed.Berkeley :University of California Press,2003.©20031 online resource (xi, 269 pages) illustrations, mapsDescription based upon print version of record.0-520-23335-2 Includes bibliographical references (p. 247-260) and index.Moving toward the museum : the collection of antique spolia -- Parallel collections of weapons and antiquities -- The rise of the imperial museum -- The dialectic of law and infringement -- Technologies of collection : railroads and cameras -- Antiquities collections in the imperial museum -- Islamic arts in imperial collections -- Military collections in the late empire -- Islamic and archaeological antiquities after the Young Turk Revolution.Possessors and Possessed analyzes how and why museums-characteristically Western institutions-emerged in the late-nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. Shaw argues that, rather than directly emulating post-Enlightenment museums of Western Europe, Ottoman elites produced categories of collection and modes of display appropriate to framing a new identity for the empire in the modern era. In contrast to late-nineteenth-century Euro-American museums, which utilized organizational schema based on positivist notions of progress to organize exhibits of fine arts, Ottoman museums featured military spoils and antiquities long before they turned to the "Islamic" collections with which they might have been more readily associated. The development of these various modes of collection reflected shifting moments in Ottoman identity production. Shaw shows how Ottoman museums were able to use collection and exhibition as devices with which to weave counter-colonial narratives of identity for the Ottoman Empire. Impressive for both the scope and the depth of its research, Possessors and Possessed lays the groundwork for future inquiries into the development of museums outside of the Euro-American milieu.MuseumsTurkeyHistoryMuseumsCollection managementTurkeyHistory1874 antiquities law.abdlaziz.abdlhamid ii.abdlhamid.antique weapons.antiquities.archaeology.artifacts.cameras.church of the hagia irene.collection management.collection.colonial narratives.conquest.display.empire.history.identity.imperial armory.imperial museum.imperialism.islam.middle east.military storehouse.military.museum administration.museum exhibits.museums.national identity.ottoman empire.ottoman museums.railroads.relics.spoils of war.spolia.technology.turkey.turks.war.MuseumsHistory.MuseumsCollection managementHistory.069/.09561Shaw Wendy M.
