The dominant form of Ottoman pictorial art until the eighteenth
century, miniatures have traditionally been studied as reflecting
the socio-historical contexts, aesthetic concerns and artistic
tastes of the era within which they were produced. 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.
