معرفی
Dr. Suzanne Compagnon is a researcher at Utrecht University specializing in Ottoman visual and material culture. Her work focuses on portable arts, particularly book arts, and examines material encounters in early modern Islamic art.
Compagnon investigates how senses shape aesthetic experiences in Ottoman art, particularly how painted interiors mediated multisensory experiences in elite gatherings. Her research explores the ontology of images and the relationship between materiality and representation.
Her publications analyze Ottoman pictorial traditions through clothing and fabric representation, challenging Eurocentric interpretations. Current work examines the multisensory dimensions of Ottoman art within the research project 'Rosewater, nightingale and gunpowder: A sensory history of the Islamic world'.
She has taught Islamic book arts and Ottoman-European cultural exchanges, and has contributed to exhibitions of Islamic art in Viennese collections.
