This book explores the concept of the “context” in the study of Islamic art history. The chapters discuss new conceptual models and approaches for analyzing the historical contexts of works of art and architecture. The articles were first presented at the 8th Biennial Symposium of the Historians of Islamic Art Association (HIAA), held in 2023 in Houston, Texas, at the Museum of Fine Arts and Rice University. Covering a range of media, regions, and periods, the volume showcases recent scholarly trends and paradigm shifts in the study of Islamic art and architecture.
