“…100 The Persian term used is bad-nām kardan, "to give [one] a bad name." 101 The early modern Persianate practice of intervisuality, described in this essay, may be compared to similar practices in the production of illustrated history manuscripts in medieval France, discussed in Hedeman (2010) aptly summarizes the performativity of the intervisual adaptations from the Neẓāmīan illustrative repertoire that structure the Sūz u Gudāz illustrations discussed in this essay. Hedeman goes on to describe three distinct functions of intervisuality in medieval French manuscripts: a device to interlace texts, to enhance one text's authority (say, by adapting biblical illustrative models in a secular manuscript), and to supplant or stand in for (missing, implied) texts.…”

Flirting with the Radical: Intertextuality, Intervisuality, and Gendered Subversions in Manuscripts of Sūz u Gudāz

This essay focuses on a corpus of eight mid- to late eleventh-/seventeenth-century illustrated manuscripts of the poem Sūz u Gudāz by the poet Nawʿī (d. c. 1019/1610). The text describes the struggle of a Hindu maiden, whose fiancé has died, to commit satī on his funeral pyre despite the interventions of various figures in her life. The essay discusses how later Safavid painters adapted and transformed established pictorial compositions associated with mas̱navīs from the Khamseh (“Quintet”) of Neẓāmī to illustrate Nawʿī’s poem, reflecting its status as a javāb (pointed response) to Neẓāmīan romances. The illustrators often altered the compositional models to draw attention to the gendered dimensions of Nawʿī’s subversive poetics.

Resumen La integración de las tres coronas en las literaturas ibéricas se verifica, en sustancia, por vías alternativas y complementarias, a partir del último cuarto del siglo XIV, en los reinos de Castilla y Aragón. La difusión conocida de determinados textos de Dante, Petrarca y Boccaccio toma impulso, a partir de nuevas adaptaciones y traducciones, con el ascenso de la dinastía Trastámara. Su incorporación no será pasiva, sino que cobra sentido en un proceso de aculturación, infiltración y acomodación en las tradiciones literarias ibéricas, que se encuentran en transformación. La apropiación de estos autores da lugar a complejos artefactos textuales que derivan en audaces dispositivos culturales y políticos. Tal operación, cuya cronología se nos aparece hoy fracturada, ha de verificarse tanto en la presencia de los textos en las bibliotecas ibéricas como en la capacidad de generar un conjunto de formas y contenidos que propiciarán una translación del canon itálico al ibérico.
