Title: Transcultural Mobility: Cosmopolitan Artefacts, Artists, and Intellectuals across the Global Muslim World
Journal: The Journal of Transcultural Studies, Vol. 13 Nos. 1-2
Guest-editor: Yuka Kadoi
Published by: Heidelberg University Publishing, 2022

This thematic issue features four different aspects of the transcultural journeys of artefacts, artists, and intellectuals across the wider Muslim world. Spanning the Muslim heartlands of South Asia and the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa across the Mediterranean Sea) to their peripheral territories in Europe and East Asia, each essay casts a critical eye over the perceived religious and stylistic homogeneity of Muslim material culture, both in pre-modern and modern times, and seeks to reappraise its cosmopolitan characteristics.
