has also been no abiding consensus about the limits or boundaries of art history's object-domain. For some, properly national luxury items comprising the 'fine arts' of painting and sculpture, and the architecture of ruling classes or hegemonic institutions. Such a domain of attention was normally justified by reference either to shared criteria of demonstrable skill in execution or to what was documented (or postulated) as self-conscious aesthetic intent. Characteristically, this excluded the greater mass of images, objects, and buildings produced by human societies. For others, the purview of disciplinary attention ideally incorporated the latter, the conventional fine arts occasionally forming a distinguishable subset or idealized canon of historical artefacts."

"Discourses, whatever their status, form, or value, and regardless of our manner of handling them, would unfold in a pervasive anonymity. No longer the tiresome repetitions: 'Who is the real author?' 'Have we proof of his authenticity and originality?' 'What has he revealed of his most profound self in his language?' New questions will be heard:
'What are the modes of existence of this discourse?' 'Where does it come from; how is it circulated; who controls it?' 'What placements are determined for possible subjects?' 'Who can fulfil these diverse functions of the subject?'
Behind all these questions we would hear little more than the murmur of indifference: 'What matter who's speaking?"

The Buddha's birth as Siddhartha is depicted as a dream of Maya Devi, at Bharhut in a medallion, in which she is reclining on a bed while a large-sized elephant is hovering above. The scene is inscribed on the stone as bhagavato ukranti. (Sanskrit: garbhavokranti). It is significant that in the written descriptions, the Buddha as the elephant enters his mother's womb whereas in the relief, the sleeping women and the elephant hovering above her indicate the dream of the conception. Since the actual birth is not shown at Bharhut and the label implies descent, this Bharhut relief may signify both conception and birth, or could it be that the representation of the birth had not yet been fixed, because even at Sanchi, the birth has not been depicted in the way it was in later centuries. The labels which invariably accompany the reliefs at Bharhut have been an important phenomenon which has enabled the identification of the sculptures probably even before the Jataka or other texts became known. Thus, these Bharhut labels have given rise to the whole area of scholarship of identification of subject matter in Indian sculpture, with the help and study of the textual sources, canonical and mythological.

'Two dominant portraits of medieval elite Muslim women emerge from early modern histories and convey a "skewed" analysis of their personas. The women are either prescient "feminists" such as the Mughal empress NurJahan (1577-1645) who was willing to defy the strictures of a strictly orthodox and "misogynistic" society to advance her own political agenda, or they are portrayed as oppressed, sexualized and ineffectual members of the imperial haram. While the first "caricature" forces medieval Muslim women into a modern European or American "ideal" of womanhood the second perspective ignores or politicizes their position and personas.'
