Place plays a fundamental role in the structuring of the discipline
of Art History. And yet, place also limits the questions art
historians can ask and impairs analysis of objects and locations in
the interstices of established, ossified categories. The chapters
in this interdisciplinary volume investigate place in all of its
dynamism and complexity: several call into question traditional
constructions regarding place in Art History, while others explore
the fundamental role that place plays in lived experience. The
particular nexus for this collection lies at the intersection and
overlap of two major subfields in the history of art: South Asia
and the Islamic world, both of which are seemingly geographically
determined, yet at the same time uncategorizable as place with
their ever-shifting and contested borders. The eleven chapters
brought together here move from the early modern through to the
contemporary, and span particular monuments and locations ranging
from Asia and Europe to Africa and the Americas. The chapters take
on the question of place as it operates in more obvious settings,
such as architectural monuments and exhibitionary contexts, while
also probing the way place operates when objects move or when the
very place they exist in transforms dramatically. This volume
engages place through the movement of objects, the evocation of
senses, desires, and memories and the on-going project of
articulating the parameters of place and location.
