Summary |
Employs contemporary concepts such as the gaze, frame-framing, reading and re-reading, drawing on thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze to establish the vibrant cultural agency of miniature paintings. In a close reading of a variety of miniatures, Firat re-examines these historical images as objects of encounter which can teach us how to think, speak and writer about society and art in the present day |
