Reflected in objects and materials whose circulation and reception defined aesthetic, economic and technological networks that existed outside established political and sectarian boundaries, many of these histories are not documented in the written sources on which historians usually rely. \u003ci\u003eTales Things Tell\u003c\/i\u003e charts bold new directions in art history, making a compelling case for the archival value of mobile artifacts and images in reconstructing the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this beautifully illustrated book, Finbarr Barry Flood and Beate Fricke present six illuminating case studies from the sixth to the thirteenth centuries to show how portable objects mediated the mobility of concepts, iconographies, and techniques. The case studies range from metalwork to stone reliefs, manuscript paintings, and objects using natural materials such as coconut and rock crystal. Whether as booty, commodities, gifts, or souvenirs, many of the objects discussed in \u003ci\u003eTales Things Tell\u003c\/i\u003e functioned as sources of aesthetic, iconographic, or technical knowledge in the lands in which they came to rest. Remapping the histories of exchange between medieval Islam and Christendom, from Europe to the Indian Ocean, \u003ci\u003eTales Things Tell\u003c\/i\u003e ventures beyond standard narratives drawn from written archival records to demonstrate the value of objects and images as documents of early globalisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432781168876,"sku":"9780691215150","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691215150.jpg?v=1774556692"},{"product_id":"there-where-you-are-not-selected-writings-by-kamal-boullata-by-finbarr-barry-flood-9783777432434","title":"There Where You Are Not: Selected Writings by Kamal Boullata","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere Where You Are Not\u003c\/em\u003e brings together the writings of celebrated Palestinian artist and theorist Kamal Boullata (b. 1942).
