SUMMARY:Transregional Connections: Architectural Monuments and the Construction of Early Modern Empires: Gulru Necipoglu
DESCRIPTION:Transregional Connections:\nArchitectural Monuments and the Construction of Early Modern Islamic Empires\nThe Center for Middle East Studies at UCSB presents\nTuesday\, April 17th\, 4:00pm\, HSSB 6020\nGülru Necipoğlu (Harvard University)\nAga Khan Professor and Director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture \nFocusing on the 16th and 17th centuries\, this lecture presents comparative reflections on the architectural cultures of the Mediterranean-based Ottomans\, the Safavids in Iran\, and the Mughals in the Indian subcontinent\, with an aim to highlight transregional interactions and intercrossings. From such a perspective\, the tri-continental landmass dominated by these three early modern empires can be conceptualized asan interconnected contact zone. Th e premise of the lecture is that in the realm of architectural culture\, the physical\, mental\, and social spaces interrelate and overlap with one another. Th e intimate connection between empire building and architectural construction is exemplified by the differing socio-religious and palatial building types favored in each of the three centralizing empires as expressions of distinctive theories of dynastic legitimacy. By emphasizing the deliberateness of these choices\, the lecture challenges prevailing assumptions about an unmediated and self-propelled evolution of regional architectural and ornamental forms in the early modern era.
