1 Islamic Art and Architecture, Lamia Balafrej Wellesley College, Department of Art Wellesley College Read more Course Description The course provides a thematic chronological survey of Islamic art and architecture from their inception around 650 C.E. to the dawn of the modern empires in 1500 C.E. While stylistic and technical studies have often dominated the field of Islamic art, this course, in contrast, explores the social agency of Islamic artifacts. It seeks to bridge Islamic art and social history, in order to uncover the dynamics between things and users or viewers in specific social settings. We will look at the use of early Islamic monuments as stages for religious, political and disciplinary spectacles, at the exchange of portable objects designed as gifts and commodities, at the female patronage of religious buildings, among other things.
