Studies cross-cultural exchanges across the Mediterranean using new interdisciplinary methodologies

A work of comparative cultural studies

Represents new developments in theories of empire
Discusses cases from medieval Spain, Ottoman Empire, colonial North Africa, and France and Algeria based on primary sources
This volume of original essays invites 10 preeminent scholars to think through a rich corpus on cities, empires, images and archaeological sites produced by the distinguished architectural historian Zeynep elik. Awarded the prestigious 2019 Giorgio Della Vida medal for excellence in Islamic studies by the University of California, the occasion allowed researchers from various universities, countries and disciplines to reflect on her rich body of work. Inspired by elik's works, chapters travel between Muslim and Christian Spain, the Ottoman Empire and France, Europe and its overseas empire in North Africa, and more.
Combining social, cultural and urban history as well as visual studies and collective political memory, scholars from Turkey, France, Algeria and the US chart detailed studies of Muslim-Christian art, Ottoman music, art and literature, and cross-Mediterranean sites of containment such as the prison, the asylum and the nuclear site.
