Longtemps négligés par l’histoire de l’art, car considérés comme des arts « mineurs » ou « appliqués », les textiles font l’objet d’une attention croissante depuis quelques années, en raison de l’intérêt toujours plus grand porté aux approches transculturelles et globales, ainsi que pour la culture matérielle et les artefacts. Dans ce cadre, l’article met en avant le rôle joué par les textiles du monde islamique médiéval. Il réexamine les approches universitaires de ces textiles à la lumière des intenses échanges artistiques qui ont eu lieu entre les territoires islamiques et d’autres régions du monde. Il se penche également sur les temporalités multiples dont sont porteurs quantité de textiles, et sur leur place au croisement de divers media et matériaux. L’objectif n’est pas de fournir un modèle d’analyse technique des textiles médiévaux, mais de contribuer à la réévaluation du medium textile en histoire de l’art.

Crossroads of Cloth: Textile Arts and Aesthetics in and beyond the Medieval Islamic World
description Textile arts were long neglected by art history as “minor” or “applied” arts; however, the recent turns towards transcultural and global art history, material culture, and a new interest in artifacts have brought increasing attention to textile studies. In this context the author seeks to reassess academic approaches to textiles from the medieval Islamic world, highlighting their role in the lively artistic interactions between Islamic territories and other regions and exploring both the multiple temporalities inherent in many textiles and their place at the intersection of various media and materials. Rather than technical analyses of medieval fabrics, she offers a contribution to the re-evaluation of the textile medium within the discipline of art history.
