  • Questioning Global Modernist Art Studies Through Their Latest Output

    Open AccessGonzalezARTICLEArts2025

    This essay argues that Holiday Powers’ s Moroccan Modernism (2025) offers a compelling case study for rethinking global modernist art from a decolonial perspective, highlighting Morocco’s unique creative, esthetic, and philosophical forces. The questions and issues this book raises, and this essay addresses, revolve around the problematic of non-European modernism as both a phenomenon of decolonial politics of esthetics, in the Jacques Rancière s…

  • Phenomenology of Quranic Corporeality and Affect

    Open AccessGonzalezARTICLEReligions2023Cited by: 1References: 14

    It is a matter to ponder that, among the three Abrahamic monotheisms, Islam places the greatest ontotheological distance between the human and the divine. While God is the ground of being Muslim, Islam excludes theophany and prohibits any tangible association between the divine and anything in the material world. God's mode of manifesting Himself to His creatures has consisted of the most fleeting and discorporate of all means of communication, n…

  • The Religious Plot in Museums or the Lack Thereof

    Open AccessGonzalez, Valerie GonzalezARTICLEReligions2022Cited by: 2References: 33

    During the last decade, the curation of Islamic art and artifacts has been crossed by tensions at both the theoretical and practical level. Not only has it been continuously grappling with the Orientalist legacy, but it has also been operating in a global contemporaneity affected by multiple conflicts engendering a misperception of Muslims and Islam by non-Muslims. With this heavy background, this curation has been pursuing three main objectives:…

  • Aporia in Umayyad Art or the Degree Zero of the Visual Forms’ Meaning in Early Islam

    Open AccessGonzalez, Valerie GonzalezARTICLEJournal of Material Cultures in…2021

    This article re-examines the established findings about Umayyad art as a transitional production essentially anchored in the Western and Eastern Late Antique traditions that have inspired it. It argues instead that the Umayyads brought about an aesthetic revolution laying out the foundations of what has become known as “Islamic ornament,” a predominantly aniconic art form. An epistemological shift from art history to critical inquiry allows us to…

  • Formless and Void

    Gonzalez, Victoria Gonzalez et al.ARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology2021References: 4

    Video games created specifically for religious audiences comprise a small but analytically significant minority of video games at large; a few thousand titles among the millions of total video games produced. Across the first decade of religious video gaming (1982–1991), 17 religious games rendered biblical lands as playable landscapes. We examine the ways these games recreate Bible lands through the application of a technique we call “region mar…

  • Anne-Sylvie Boisliveau, Le Coran par lui-même. Vocabulaire et argumentation du discours coranique autoréférentiel, Leiden-Boston

    Open AccessGonzalezARTICLERevue des mondes musulmans et de…2017

    Le domaine des études islamiques se trouve enrichi avec cet excellent ouvrage d’Anne-Sylvie Boisliveau qui aborde le sujet du Coran sous l’angle d’un de ses principaux caractères littéraires : l’autoréférentialité, ou réflexivité. Cette étude, tirée de la thèse de doctorat de l’auteure, s’appuie sur l’ensemble des précédents scientifiques qui ont établi les paramètres de connaissances et les idées de fond nécessaires à une telle entreprise. Parmi…

    Inépuisable et fascinant sujet d’étude, l’art du livre dans les pays musulmans ne laisse pas de susciter de nouvelles approches, méthodes d’analyse et procédures de classification. L’un des aspects scientifiques essentiels de ce domaine reste évidement l’iconologie, laquelle constitue le cadre de travail de Rachel Milstein dans son dernier ouvrage, La Bible dans l’art islamique. L’auteure y expose l’ensemble des manuscrits enluminés islamiques de…
