Workshop "Islamic Art – Reception Processes in Middle Ages and Modern Times“

Looking closely at medieval and modern transfer and reception processes within Islamic art, the aim of the workshop is to discuss and analyse theoretical approaches, methods and concepts dealing with such processes. A range of significant case studies presented by Magdalena Valor (University of Sevilla), Yuka Kadoi (Edinburgh) and Maximilian Hartmuth (University of Vienna) will provide the opportunity to examine interesting overlaps, theoretical innovations and methodological challenges. Attendants are hereby invited to contribute a short presentation / poster-presentation on their personal ongoing research projects dealing with transfer and reception processes.
The interdisciplinary workshop is open to MA, PhD and post-docs students. It is organized by members of the Institute of Art History, the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies and the University Research Priority Program Asia and Europe at the University of Zurich.
