Visualizing a Space of Encounter: Intimacy, Alterity, and Trans-Imperial Perspective in an Ottoman-Venetian Miniature Album
Öz
In a series of publications in the 1980s and early 1990s, Thomas Goodrich has offered an apt critique of pervasive Orientalist notions of Ottoman insularity and lack of curiosity about the world beyond the Empire’s borders. His meticulous research on the Tarih-i Hind-i garbî documented not only the enduring presence of New World spaces, flora and fauna in early modern Ottoman manuscript culture, but the complex circulation of tropes, texts, images, and representational strategies more broadly both over time (from the now-lost 1580s original to numerous manuscripts and eventual print editions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and across space.1 In particular, Goodrich pioneered the study—to become a sub-field in its own right—of spatial representations as an aspect of cultural interaction between early modern Ottoman elites and their non-Ottoman counterparts.
