Sea change Ottoman textiles between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean / Amanda Phillips   Author:  Phillips, Amanda author Title:  Sea change Ottoman textiles between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean / Amanda Phillips Publisher:  Oakland, California University of California Press [2021] Description:  xiv, 340 pages illustrations (chiefly color), maps (black and white) 27 cm Summary:  "Textiles were the second most traded commodity in all of world history, preceded only by grain. In the Ottoman Empire in particular, sale and exchange of silks, cottons, and woolens generated an immense amount of revenue and touched every level of society, from rural women tending silkworms to pashas flaunting layers of watered camlet to merchants traveling to Mecca and beyond. Sea Change offers the first comprehensive history of the Ottoman textile sector, arguing that its enduring success resulted from its openness to expertise and objects from far-flung locations. Amanda Phillips skillfully marries art history with social and economic history, integrating formal analysis of various textiles into wider discussions of how trade, technology, and migration impacted the production and consumption of textiles in the Mediterranean from around 1400 to 1800. Surveying a vast network of textile topographies that stretched from India to Italy and from Egypt to Iran, Sea Change illuminates often neglected aspects of material culture, showcasing the objects' ability to tell new kinds of stories"-- Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references and index Contents:  Technology, history, and terminology, c 1200-1400 -- Weaving in Anatolia : international styles and local production, 1390-1500 -- Imperial appetites, shared technologies, 1500-1650 -- Regulation and contravention, 1500-1700 -- Worlds of goods: consumption and production, 1550-1700 -- Emulation, imitation, and novelty, 1700-1800 Subject:  Textile fabrics -- Turkey -- History Textile fabrics -- Mediterranean Region -- History Textile fabrics Textile fabrics -- Turkey -- History Textile fabrics -- Mediterranean Region -- History Turkey -- History -- Ottoman Empire, 1288-1918 Empire ottoman -- Histoire.
