Book Project: The Historiography of Calligraphy in the Persianate World
This volume offers a sustained, critical examination of how the history of calligraphy has been written, organized, and transmitted within the Persianate world. Its subject is not the history of calligraphy itself, but the historiography of calligraphy – the texts, objects, practices, and institutions through which historical knowledge about calligraphy has been produced, codified, and reproduced from the medieval period to the present.

Sound Art History ist ein kunsthistorischer Ansatz, der die sinnliche und insbesondere audiovisuelle Vielschichtigkeit von Kunst in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Zentrale Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei den Relationen zwischen Sehen und Hören bzw. zwischen Werk und Klang – sei dies Stimme, Musik, Lärm oder Geräusche. Berücksichtigt werden ebenfalls die Medialität von Klang mit und durch das Werk, der Begriff der Resonanz im akustischen und metaphorischen Sinne sowie Fragen nach intersensorischer Rezeptions- und Wirkungsästhetik.
