Cíle předmětu
The course introduces the visual arts and material cultures produced from ca. the seventh century up until the sixteenth century CE by people who lived within territories inhabited by Muslim populations. It questions the historiographical notion of “Islamic art” as a problematic categorization born in the nineteenth century and presents in a critical light questions such as the roots of Islamic attitude towards images, the image problem, or the alleged non-representational (geometric, abstract) character of Islamic visual culture. It likewise focuses on the manifold interactions of this visual culture with others across the premodern Mediterranean and beyond. Presenting the visual cultures of pre-Islamic Arabia to the Mughals, this course presents objects and materials which will offer to students a different, and nuanced, introduction to the arts of Islamic culture.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course, a student will:
- be able to critically assess the application of the term “Islamic art” to a series of premodern artworks and monuments
- possess a nuanced overview of objects and forms of Islamic visual and material culture, from ca. 7th–16th centuries
- have learned to apply art historical methods to the investigation of materials
- be aware of the manifold intersections between archaeology, anthropology, and art history to decompartmentalize “Islamic” art and architecture
