| Summary: | "This volume analyzes historical processes of mobility by focusing on material objects. Mobility--as a shorthand for various related processes such as migration, transfer, entanglement, and translation--involves human actors, immaterial elements such as ideas and knowledge, but also objects in various forms and functions. For example, as material infrastructures they are the basis for transport and travel; as goods they are the object and purpose of trade or gift exchange. By focusing on the way objects determined certain processes of mobility and how their social meaning and materiality was transformed in these processes, the contributors hope to gain deeper insight into the historical relations between the Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe, and Persia"--Back cover. |
