WiSe 14/15: The Image in Islam
Wendy Shaw
Comments
Islamic art is often perceived within an apparent paradox: although Islam is commonly described as "forbidding" the image, Islamic art is replete with images. This course will examine the evolution of the idea of the "forbidden" image, and will use sources from Islamic culture -- including the Qur'an, Hadith, poetry, and discussions of the arts -- to consider the definition and the role of the image in Islamic art. close
