Description
Summary:Religious aesthetics have gained increasing importance over the past few years in the fields of Religious studies and Islamic studies. This volume highlights the transcultural dimensions of the theoretical foundations of religious aesthetics. It explores aesthetic experience in the religious field through a series of case studies. These include Islamic sermons from the Middle East and South Asia, Islamic religious chanting, a chapter of the Qurʾān, a German performance artist, Indian rasa theory, and Arabic and Bengali literature. Together, the authors demonstrate that the analysis of the aesthetic forms of religious mediation across regions and genres is a fruitful approach to transcultural studies.
Die Religionsästhetik hat in den vergangenen Jahren an Bedeutung innerhalb der Religions- und Islamwissenschaft gewonnen. Dieser Band betont die transkulturellen Dimensionen der theoretischen Grundlagen der Religionsästhetik und bietet Fallstudien über die Rolle ästhetischer Erfahrung in religiösen Kontexten. Diese umfassen islamische Predigten im Nahen Osten und Südasien, islamische religiöse Gesänge, ein Korankapitel, einen deutschen Performance-Künstler, indische rasa-Theorie und arabische wie bengalische Literatur. Zusammen zeigen die Autoren die Fruchtbarkeit der Analyse ästhetischer Formen von religiöser Vermittlung über verschiedene Regionen und Gattungen hinweg auf.
