- W1965514150 abstract "Writing in the preface to this collection of papers—the adapted proceedings of an international symposium held in Berlin in 2004—the editors convey some of the difficulties which they negotiated while midwifing the volume through to publication. First at the conference itself, and then during the sifting of written submissions, they encountered among their contributors not only that wide range of ‘diverse academic backgrounds’ which one would expect of scholars gathered from across Europe, Turkey and the former Soviet Union, but also what they delicately term ‘problems of a technical and intellectual order’ (p. 10). Notwithstanding the editors’ undoubted efforts, the completed volume displays not just the attractive intellectual diversity but also some of the shortcomings to which they presumably refer. What makes it an occasionally unsatisfactory book to read, however, may also be what makes it most valuable. As the editors observe, prior to 2004 ‘Islamic art and architecture in the European periphery had not been the subject of international conferences or symposia, nor had Western scholarly publications given much space to contributions dealing with the particular character of Islamic art treasures and architectural monuments in the Black Sea area, the Caucasus, and the Volga-Ural region’ (p. 10). While applauding the move to remedy this state of affairs, one is struck by the sprawling extent of the domain hereby marked out for rehabilitation: an extent both contextual, with papers in the volume ranging from thirteenth-century Crimea to nineteenth-century Georgia, and conceptual, with discussions of medieval architecture qua manifestation of social structure sitting alongside ethnographic readings of European visual reportage in the modern era. Such gaping dimensions of subject matter—a subject matter construed not positively, as a product of its own internal logic, but negatively, as that which has hitherto not been written about—allow little sustained focus upon, or even identification of, that sense of ‘particularity’ to which the editors allude: the papers in the volume resemble uncoordinated jottings on an otherwise empty canvas, and the contributors’ voices seldom carry far enough to converse with one another. If frustrating for the reader, this lack of coordination may nevertheless be useful, illustrating just how differently various scholars within a nominally delimited field have conceived of and pursued their topics of research. Some of the approaches essayed in the present volume are highly stimulating, and could serve as models for future students of Islamic art and architecture in the Turkic borderlands: others, frankly, are not, and should not." @default.
