1. International Conference: "Spatial Thought in Islamicate Societies, 1000-1600:
The Politics of Genre, Image, and Text", University of Tübingen, 30 March - 1 April
2017 
 
How have place and space been conceived by writers and mapmakers in the Islamicate
parts of the world? Questioning established notions of genre, the conference
explores the ways how spatial thought was entangled with political, religious,
cultural, and intellectual history. The aim is to envisage a diversely linked
spatial history, with new relevance for the study of Islamicate societies.
