WiSe 15/16: Sufism, Perception and Islamic Art History
Wendy Shaw
Comments
Sufism is a category of mystical approaches within Islam relying on intrinsic interpretations of sacred texts and aiming towards personal union with the divine. Deeply integrated into religious, ethical and cultural practice across much of the Islamic world since the tenth century, Sufism often informs both the sign-systems and perceptual modes of Islamic art. This course will examine select works of Islamic art in light of Sufi interpretations of Islam in their historical contexts. Participants will discuss shared readings and interpret aesthetic practices in light of Sufism. close
