Dalmatia and the Mediterranean
Portable Archaeology and the Poetics of Influence
Series: - Mediterranean Art Histories, Volume: 1
Editor:
Using the Braudelian concept of the Mediterranean this volume focuses on the condition of âcoastal exchangesâ involving the Dalmatian littoral and its Adriatic and more distant maritime network. Spalato and Ragusa intersect with Constantinople, Cairo and Spanish Naples just as Sinan, Palladio and Robert Adam cross paths in this liquid expanse. Concentrating on materiality and on the arts, architecture in particular, the authors identify portability and hybridity as characteristic of these exchanges, and tease out expected and unexpected serendipitous moments when they occurred. Focusing on translation and its instruments these essays expand the traditional concept of influence by thrusting mobility and the "hardware" of cultural transmission, its mechanisms, rather than its effects, into the foreground.
