Assumptions That Affect Our Lives (Textbook) by Christian Overman
Orientalism can be defined as a historical and cultural event, which has been uniting various aspects of cultural life for a number of centuries--literature, fine art, architecture, music and philosophy. A vision of the East--positive or negative--based on imagination or historic facts, it has generated an exotic image in our consciousness, which has its own right to existence. At a crucial and timely moment in the history of relations between the West and Islam, this book provides the context and essential background to understanding this part of the world and the intense debate on this theme. The art-biographer of the XVI-century Ottoman Empire Franco-Flemish artist Jean Baptiste Vanmour (1671-1737) left a very important legacy--pictorial evidences which can be considered as historical illustrations of all the aspects of XVI-century Ottoman life: from diplomatic ceremonies in the Ottoman court to everyday events of Istanbul multinational society. It will be of strong interest to scholars of Middle East studies, anthropology, history, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, and literary studies.| SKU | Unavailable |
