Название: Eros and Sexuality in Islamic Art ISBN: 113827061X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138270619 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 56130.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Dedicated to the topics of eroticism and sexuality in the visual production of the medieval and early modern Muslim world, this volume sheds light on the diverse socio-cultural milieus of erotic images, on the range of motivations that determined their production, and on the responses generated by their circulation. The articles revise what has been accepted as a truism in existing literature-that erotic motifs in the Islamic visual arts should be read metaphorically-offering, as an alternative, rigorous contextual and cultural analyses. Among the subjects discussed are male and female figures as sexualized objects; the spiritual dimensions of eroticism; licit versus illicit sexual practices; and the exotic and erotic ’others’ as a source of sensual delight. As the first systematic study on these themes in the field of Islamic art history, this volume fills a considerable gap and contributes to the lively debates on the nature and function of erotic and sexual images that have featured prominently in broader art-historical discussions in recent decades.

Описание: The Erotic Object: Sexuality in Sculpture From Prehistory to the Present
The power and eroticism of sculpture, form, volume and space are sensitively explored in this wide-ranging study, which takes in the history of sculpture from prehistoric times to contemporary art.
Featuring discussions of many famous sculptors, including: Michelangelo Buonarroti, Antonio Canova, Auguste Rodin, Eric Gill, Andy Goldsworthy, Jasper Johns, Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Barbara Hepworth and Gianlorenzo Bernini.
Many contemporary artists are studied too, including installation and performance artists (Catherine Elwes, Karen Finley, Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann), and women sculptors such as Alice Aycock, Mary Miss, Rebecca Horn, Nancy Graves, Eva Hesse, Kathe Kollwitz and Judy Chicago.
Regardless of what sculpture depicts, it can be seen as erotic. The surfaces, materials and forms are sensuous: wood, stone, marble, granite, clay, bronze. Touching is pleasure. It is a pleasure that is, perhaps, pre-institutional, pre-industrial and pre-political.
Touching cuts through social and cultural constructs, such as art, ideology, education and war, and goes back to a primeval form of being. At same time, touching is a sense of the both personal and societal. John Keats said, 'touch has a memory'. Sculpture activates this fundamental relation with things. Sculpture renews contact with the simple but utterly crucial experiences such as touch, sight, and smell.
Fully illustrated, with many rare and fascinating illustrations, including prints, paintings and buildings as well as sculptures and statues.

This resulting booksheds light on how macroprudential policy may be implemented in the Islamicfinancial system, and indicates current challenges and their effects oneconomic growth, financial stability and monetary regulation.Macroprudential policyis increasingly seen as a way of dealing with the different dimensions ofsystemic risk. But many central banks, bank supervisors and regulators havelimited experience with macroprudential tools, particularly in the Islamicfinancial industry. Given the complementarities between monetary policy andfinancial stability, it appears that central banks would always play animportant role in macroprudential policy. But how should macroprudential policybest interact with monetary policy? It is becoming more pressing for the centralbanks to conduct monetary policy in which its conventional banking systemoperates side by side with Islamic banking system. This question has receivedincreasing attention in the research literature but there is much we still needto learn. This is why new insights from research on macroprudential policy –which has gained important impetus in recent years – are so valuable. Featuringcontributions on topics such as macroprudential regulation, policy, tools andinstruments; governance, systematic risk, monetary policy, and bank leverage,the editors provide a collection of comprehensive research covering the mostimportant issues on macroprudential policy and regulation for the Islamicfinancial industry. This volume is expected to be a significant contribution tothe literature in the field of Islamic finance and evaluation of publicpolicies to promote the development for Islamic financial industry. It is alsoserved as a key text for students, academics, researchers, policy-makers in thefield of Islamic finance.

Описание: This book analyzes the current Islamic marketing environment. Since the Muslim world is extremely diverse in terms of economic development, customs and traditions and political and legal systems, it is vital for companies and marketers to analyze the environment before attempting to address these markets. The author emphasizes that it is ineffectual to elaborate the distribution and promotion strategies if the market does not exist in terms of purchasing power or demographics, if potential consumers do not believe that products and services answer their needs and demands or if there are political and legal barriers to companies wanting to enter these markets. The book offers detailed insights into the economic, socio-cultural, and politico-legal environment in the Muslim world, which are essential for marketers to understand and form the foundations of effective marketing strategies.
