The court was the crucial site where expanding Eurasian states and empires met and were forced to make sense of one another. By looking at these interactions, Courtly Encounters provides a fresh cross-cultural perspective on the worlds of early modern Islam, Counter-Reformation Catholicism, Protestantism, and a newly emergent Hindu sphere. Both individual agents and objects such as texts and paintings helped mediate encounters between courts, which possessed rules and conventions that required decipherment and translation, whether in words or in pictures. Sanjay Subrahmanyam gives special attention to the depiction of South Asian empires in European visual representations, finding a complex history of cultural exchange: the Mughal paintings that influenced Rembrandt and other seventeenth-century Dutch painters had themselves been earlier influenced by Dutch naturalism. Courtly Encounters provides a rich array of images from Europe, the Islamic world, India, and Southeast Asia as aids for understanding the reciprocal nature of cross-cultural exchanges. It also looks closely at how insults and strategic use of martyrdom figured in courtly encounters. As he sifts through the historical record, Subrahmanyam finds little evidence for the cultural incommensurability many ethnohistorians have insisted on. Most often, he discovers negotiated ways of understanding 001403949 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001403949 650_0 $$aCourt and courtiers. 001403949 651_0 $$aEurasia$$xSocial conditions. 001403949 651_0 $$aEurasia$$xSocial life and customs. 001403949 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSubrahmanyam, Sanjay.$$tCourtly encounters.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2012$$z9780674067059$$w(DLC) 2012015063$$w(OCoLC)792887393 001403949 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001403949 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10614097$$zOnline Access 001403949 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:484846$$pGLOBAL_SET 001403949 980__ $$aEBOOK 001403949 980__ $$aBIB 001403949 982__ $$aEbook 001403949 983__ $$aOnline
