Hardcover. An analysis of boundaries and boundary-making. This collection explores alternative definitions of bounded identities, facilitating new approaches to spatial and architectural forms. Taking as its starting point the emergence of a new definition of boundary in the wake of the twentieth-century transformation of large, heterogeneous empires into a mosaic of nation-states in the Islamic world, it shows how that new sense of boundaries not only determines the ways we imagine and construct the idea of modern citizenship, but also redefines relationships among the nation, citizenship, cities, and architecture. The contributors investigate how architecture mediates the creation and deployment of boundaries and boundedness and how architecture might be considered as a means to understand the relationship between flows and boundaries and its implications for how we define the modern self. Addresses the question of how architecture defined broadly mediates the forces that constitute various forms of flows and boundaries, and thus creates nuanced definitions of Muslim selves. It book discusses how different experiences of partition and consolidation informed or resisted architectural developments and urban planning. 167 b/w illus.

Sinopsis

This collection seeks to explore alternative definitions of bounded identities, facilitating new approaches to spatial and architectural forms. Taking as its starting point the emergence of a new sense of ‘boundary’ emerged from the post-19th century dissolution of large, heterogeneous empires into a mosaic of nation-states in the Islamic world. This new sense of boundaries has not only determined the ways in which we imagine and construct the idea of modern citizenship, but also redefines relationships between the nation, citizenship, cities and architecture.

It brings critical perspectives to our understanding of the interrelation between the accumulated flows and the evolving concepts of boundary in predominantly Muslim societies and within the global Muslim diaspora. Essays in this book seeks to investigate how architecture mediates the creation and deployment of boundaries and boundedness that have been devised to define, enable, obstruct, accumulate and/or control flows able to disrupt bounded territories or identities.

More generally, the book explores how architecture might be considered as a means to understand the relationship between flows and boundaries and its implication of defining modern self. The essays in this volume collectively address how the construction of self is primarily a spatial event and operated within the crucial nexus of power-knowledge-space.

Contributors investigate how architecture mediates the creation and deployment of boundaries and boundedness, how architecture might be considered as a means to understand the relationship between flows and boundaries and its implications for how we define the modern self.

Part of the Critical Studies in Architecture of the Middle East series.

Acerca del autor

Patricia Blessing is Assistant Professor of Islamic Art History and Archaeology at Princeton University, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2012. Her Rebuilding Anatolia after the Mongol Conquest: Islamic Architecture in the Lands of Rūm, 1240–1330 (Ashgate, 2014) investigates the relationship between patronage, politics, and architectural style after the integration of the region into the Mongol empire. Together with Rachel Goshgarian, she edited Architecture and Landscape in Medieval Anatolia, 1100–1500 (Edinburgh University Press, 2017). Blessing’s current projects focus on fifteenth-century Ottoman architecture, the materiality of building and textiles, and the historiography of Islamic architecture.
