The Islamic world's artistic traditions experienced profound
transformation in the 19th century as rapidly developing
technologies and globalizing markets ushered in drastic changes in
technique, style, and content. Despite the importance and ingenuity
of these developments, the 19th century remains a gap in the
history of Islamic art. To fill this opening in art historical
scholarship, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean charts
transformations in image-making, architecture, and craft production
in the Islamic world from Fez to Istanbul. Contributors focus on
the shifting methods of production, reproduction, circulation, and
exchange artists faced as they worked in fields such as
photography, weaving, design, metalwork, ceramics, and even
transportation. Covering a range of media and a wide geographical
spread, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean reveals how
19th-century artists in the Middle East and North Africa reckoned
with new tools, materials, and tastes from local perspectives.
