Bosnian: The Theory of Islamic Art: Aesthetic Concept and Epistemic Structure by Idham Mohammed Hanash Pdf

Divine oneness as the principle of beauty is perhaps quintessentially Islamic artistic expression and ‎experience and what it celebrates. Why has Islamic art evolved as it has, what forms does it take, ‎what is the logic underlying it? What message is the Muslim artist attempting to convey, what ‎emotion is he seeking to evoke? This work views Islamic art as a subject of archeological study and ‎treats its evolution as part of the historical study of art in the broader sense. At the same time, it ‎paves the way for an epistemological shift from viewing Islamic art as a material concept having to ‎do with beautiful rarities and relics that have grown out of Islamic cultural and artistic creativity, to ‎a theoretical concept associated with a vision, a principle, a theory and a method. This theoretical ‎concept provides the intellectual and cultural foundation for a critical philosophical science of ‎Islamic artistic beauty to which we might refer as ‘the science of Islamic art,’ or ‘the Islamic ‎aesthetic’ that evaluates visual artistic creations in terms of both beauty and practical usefulness. In ‎the process the study also explores orientalist misconceptions, challenging some of the premises ‎with which it has approached Islamic art, with judgement rooted in a cultural framework alien to the ‎spiritual perspective of Islam.‎

Beauty and Islam by Valerie Gonzalez Pdf

'Beauty and Islam' explores aspects of aesthetics in classical Islamic thought in the light of contemporary theories, offering new perspectives on Islamic art and architecture with examples ranging from the Qur'an and the Alhambra to the works of present day artists and philosophers. Tracing the roots of Islamic aesthetics back to the works of the great philosophers of the Middle Ages such as Avicenna and Averroes, Valerie Gonzalez finds that aesthetic theory in Islam must be seen within the much wider context of parallel thinking on theology, ethics, physics and metaphysics.

Art and Architecture in the Islamic Tradition by Mohammed Hamdouni Alami Pdf

What is 'art' in the sense of the Islamic tradition? Mohammed Hamdouni Alami argues that Islamic art has historically been excluded from Western notions of art; that the Western aesthetic tradition's preoccupation with the human body, and the ban on the representation of the human body in Islam, has meant that Islamic and Western art have been perceived as inherently at odds. However, the move away from this 'anthropomorphic aesthetic' in Western art movements, such as modern abstract and constructivist painting, have presented the opportunity for new ways of viewing and evaluating Islamic art and architecture. This book questions the very idea of art predicated on the anthropocentric bias of classical art, and the corollary 'exclusion' of Islamic art from the status of art. It addresses a central question in post-classical aesthetic theory, in as much as the advent of modern abstract and constructivist painting have shown that art can be other than the representation of the human body; that art is not neutral aesthetic contemplation but it is fraught with power and violence; and that the presupposition of classical art was not a universal truth but the assumption of a specific cultural and historical set of practices and vocabularies. Based on close readings of classical Islamic literature, philosophy, poetry, medicine and theology, along with contemporary Western art theory, the author uncovers a specific Islamic theoretical vision of art and architecture based on poetic practice, politics, cosmology and desire. In particular it traces the effects of decoration and architectural planning on the human soul as well as the centrality of the gaze in this poetic view - in Arabic 'nazar'- while examining its surprising similarity to modern theories of the gaze. Through this double gesture, moving critically between two traditions, the author brings Islamic thought and aesthetics back into the realm of visibility, addressing the lack of recognition in comparison with other historical periods and traditions. This is an important step toward a critical analysis of the contemporary debate around the revival of Islamic architectural identity - a debate intricately embedded within opposing Islamic political and social projects throughout the world.

Unsettling Colonial Modernity in Islamicate Contexts by Kara Adbolmaleki,Roxana Akhbari,Siavash Saffari Pdf

By focusing on colonial histories and legacies, this edited volume breaks new ground in studying modernity in Islamicate contexts. From a range of disciplinary perspectives, the authors probe ‘colonial modernity’ as a condition whose introduction into Islamicate contexts was facilitated historically by European encroachment into South Asia, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. They also analyze the various modes through which, in Europe itself, and in North America by extension, people from Islamicate contexts have been, and continue to be, otherized in the constitution and advancement of the project of modernity. The book further brings to light a multiplicity of social, political, cultural, and aesthetic modes of resistance aimed at subverting and unsettling colonial modernity in both Muslim-majority and diasporic contexts.
