Jamal J. Elias corrects this view by revealing the complexity of Islamic attitudes toward representational religious art. Aisha's Cushion emphasizes Islam's perceptual and intellectual modes and in so doing offers the reader both insight into Islamic visual culture and a unique way of seeing the world. Aisha's Cushion evaluates the controversies surrounding blasphemy and iconoclasm by exploring Islamic societies at the time of Muhammad and the birth of Islam; during early contact between Arab Muslims and Byzantine Christians; in medieval Anatolia and India; and in modern times. Elias's inquiry then goes further, to situate Islamic religious art in a global context. His comparisons with Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu attitudes toward religious art show them to be as contradictory as those of Islam. Contemporary theories about art's place in society inform Elias's investigation of how religious objects have been understood across time and in different cultures. Elias contends that Islamic perspectives on representation and perception should be sought not only in theological writings or aesthetic treatises but in a range of Islamic works in areas as diverse as optics, alchemy, dreaming, calligraphy, literature, vehicle and home decoration, and Sufi metaphysics. Unearthing shades of meaning in Islamic thought throughout history, Elias offers fresh insight into the relations among religion, art, and perception across a broad range of cultures. 606 $aIslam and art 606 $aArts$zIslamic countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIslam and art. 615 0$aArts 676 $a709.1767 700 $aElias$b Jamal J$01008835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461915003321 996 $aAisha's cushion$92450570 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03384oam 2200733 450 001 9910461521103321 005 20200514202323.0 010 $a1-4725-9967-5 010 $a0-8264-2566-6 010 $a1-283-20161-5 010 $a9786613201614 010 $a1-283-20171-2 010 $a9786613201713 010 $a0-8264-3099-6 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472599674 035 $a(CKB)2670000000106718 035 $a(EBL)742727 035 $a(OCoLC)741691053 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000526374 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12179273 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000526374 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10520496 035 $a(PQKB)10326040 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000523948 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12223053 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000523948 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10543432 035 $a(PQKB)11711464 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC742727 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC743102 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL742727 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10866830 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL320171 035 $a(OCoLC)893335694 035 $a(OCoLC)1154864632 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09257638 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000106718 100 $a19900306e1990 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aUnrevolutionary England, 1603-1642 /$fConrad Russell 210 1$aLondon ;$aRonceverte, WV (U.S.A.) :$cHambledon Press,$d1990. 215 $a1 online resource (219 p.) 300 $aEssays originally published 1962-1988. 311 $a1-85285-025-6 311 $a1-85285-023-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCONTENTS; Preface; The Published Writings of F.J.

England before the Civil War was not a country welcoming a brave new world but one clinging fearfully to an old one. Change, where it happened, was not the result of a deliberate striving for 'progress', and the polity of pre-Civil War England was not on the point of collapse. Parliaments were not dominated by two 'sides' in training for a Cup Final at Naseby, but were groups of people struggling with limited success to reach agreement 606 $2General & world history 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yEarly Stuarts, 1603-1649 676 $a941.06/1 700 $aRussell$b Conrad$0134220 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461521103321 996 $aUnrevolutionary England, 1603-1642$92205300 997 $aUNINA
