Islamic Art History and the Global TurnTheory, Method, Practice\nAuthor(s): Hala Auji, Radha Dalal\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Yale University Press, United States\nImprint: Yale University Press\nISBN-13: 9780300276985, 978-0300276985\nSynopsis\nAlthough scholarship on how Islamic art is studied, collected, and exhibited is on the rise, less attention has been paid to how the fields various commitments relate to pedagogical and curating practices. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book explores how the past two decades of debates around diverse, inclusive, decolonial, and global approaches to Islamic art history have taken shape in classrooms, galleries, and related settings. The contributions span three interrelated themes: Theory (Critical approaches to teaching and curating), Method (pedagogical approaches), and Practice (curating, collecting, and archiving). Through focused case studies, the volume highlights the complexities raised by the call for global art.
