"Divine Logocentrism as the Founding Concept of Islamic Visual Expression"

יום שני 21.03.22  |  10:30-12:00

חדר 2203, מדעי הרוח

In Islam, logocentrism is a divine given materialised in the Qur’an. This lecture deals with this concept as the shaper of a particular Islamic mode of visual thinking, and of what Martin Jay aptly calls 'cultural optics' . It will be demonstrated how this absolute logocentric metaphysics has driven Islamic visual expression in unprecedented aesthetic directions through a redistribution of the role of representation and discourse in the material forms. A new approach to Islamic visual culture will be thereby proposed.
