5. Online Seminar – “Cloth and Time in the Mughal Empire” by Sylvia W. Houghteling, ReSIA (Research Seminar in Islamic Art, SOAS) – March 16

Abstract: By the start of the seventeenth century, cloth from South Asia had spread throughout the globe. Carried in watertight chests on maritime vessels, painted cotton bedcovers and embroidered hangings travelled to the Americas, Europe, Africa, and East and West Asia. However, the perception of South Asian textiles as the consummate material of global trade can obscure the fact that the seventeenth-century circulation of fabric existed across different scales and distinctive temporalities. The circulation of textiles was often seasonal: Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) timed his gifts of warm, woollen garments to arrive at the start of the cold winter weather. The case of cloth circulating within the Mughal Empire, therefore, requires a reconsideration of how to approach objects – commodities like textiles and other luxuries of the maritime trade – that eventually travelled great distances.

ReSIA – Research Seminar in Islamic Art, convened by Professor Anna Contadini, will be presented on Zoom on Thursday 16th March at 6pm (UK time).

Please register with Matty Bradley on mb@royalasiaticsociety.org by 15th March to receive the link to the talk.
