Art, Migration, State-Building: India in the Indian Ocean World

该项目旨在通过采用跨亚洲网络透镜来对抗以前学术界以欧洲为中心的框架，调查印度洋世界中物体、知识和人在不同文化中的历史运动。本书以十五世纪印度中部的艺术和建筑为重点，探讨了一个由移民组成的独立的、主要是穆斯林的国家如何通过挑战文化和地理界限的艺术作品塑造自己。该项目预计将推进研究混合视觉文化的新方法，产生有关现代早期全球连通性动态的新知识，并加深我们对当今移民和文化交流机制的理解。

This project aims to investigate the historical movement of objects, knowledge, and people across cultures in the Indian Ocean world, countering the Eurocentric framework of previous scholarship by adopting a trans-Asian network lens. Focusing on art and architecture in fifteenth-century central India, it examines how an independent, largely Muslim state comprised of migrants fashioned itself through works of art that challenged cultural and geographical boundaries. This project expects to advance new methodologies for studying hybrid visual cultures, generate new knowledge about the dynamics of global connectedness in the early modern era, and deepen our understanding of the mechanics of migration and cultural exchange today.
