Transposing iconography -- Conclusion: visualizing and seeing in the service of Islam."The representation of prophets and saints in Islam is erroneously considered nonexistent by many scholars of Islam, Muslims, and the general public. The issue is often dealt with superficially without attention to its deep roots in piety and religiosity. Visualizing Belief and Piety in Iranian Shiism offers new understanding of Islamic iconography and Muslim perspectives on the use of imageries in ritual contexts and devotional life. Combining iconographic and ethnographic approaches, Ingvild Flaskerud introduces and analyzes imageries (tile-paintings, posters and wall-hangings), ritual contexts and interviews with male and female local viewers to discuss the representation, reception and function of imageries in contemporary Iranian Shia environments. This book presents the argument that images and decorative programmes have stimulating qualities to mentally evoke the saints in the minds of devotees and inspire their recollection, transforming emotions and stimulating cultic behaviours. Visualization and seeing are significant to the dissemination of religious knowledge, the understanding of spiritual and ethical values, the promotion of personal piety, and functions as modes of venerating God and the saints."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Art and religionIranIslam and artShī'ahDoctrinesReligious subjects depicted in artArt and religionIslam and art.Shī'ahDoctrines.297.2/67Flaskerud Ingvild1485328UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910789677203321Visualizing belief and piety in Iranian Shiism3704399UNINA03737nam 2200709 a 450 991078136360332120230914171340.090-272-8565-997866130925881-283-09258-1(CKB)2550000000032542(EBL)680373(OCoLC)713026638(SSID)ssj0000466613(PQKBManifestationID)11302600(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000466613(PQKBWorkID)10465894(PQKB)11007266(MiAaPQ)EBC680373(Au-PeEL)EBL680373(CaPaEBR)ebr10462984(EXLCZ)99255000000003254219951229h19961996 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAcademic writing intercultural and textual issues /edited by Eija Ventola, Anna MauranenAmsterdam ;Philadelphia :John Benjamins Pub.,1996.©19961 online resource (xi, 260 pages) illustrationsPragmatics & beyond,0922-842X ;new ser., 4190-272-5053-7 1-55619-802-7 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.ACADEMIC WRITING INTERCULTURAL AND TEXTUAL ISSUES; Editorial page; Title page; Copyright page; Table of contents; Preface; Acknowledgements; I.

It is the main mode of communication among scientists and scholars and also a means for students for obtaining their degrees. The papers in this volume highlight the intercultural, generic and textual complexities of academic writing. Comparisons are made between various traditions of academic writing in different cultures and contexts and the studies combine linguistic analyses with analyses of the social settings in which academic writing takes place and is acquired.Pragmatics & beyond ;new ser., 41.English languageRhetoricStudy and teachingAcademic writingStudy and teachingAcademic writingSocial aspectsIntercultural communicationMulticultural educationLanguage and cultureEnglish languageRhetoricStudy and teaching.Academic writingStudy and teaching.Academic writingSocial aspects.Intercultural communication.Multicultural education.Language and culture.808/.042/07Ventola Eija450900Mauranen Anna600479MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781363603321Academic writing3835523UNINA
