Mehran Kamrava, "The Modern Middle East: A Political History Since the First
World War"
University of California Press | ISBN 0520241509 | 2005 Year | PDF | 3,46 Mb |
497 Pages
“ The first succinct and authoritative overview of the making of the modern
Middle East, this lucid book brings a valuable mix of historical perspectives
and contemporary analysis to a wide audience of readers seeking expert knowledge
about this troubled and fascinating region. Giving a rich perspective on the
region's historical and political evolution, the book traces the influence of
factors such as religion, culture, and economics and illuminates events and
topics currently in the news. With its broad thematic sweep and its balanced
presentation of contentious issues, it is essential reading for general readers
and students who want to better understand the world today. Mehran Kamrava sets
the stage with a concise discussion of the evolution of Islam and the religion's
profound role in the region. He then looks at, in turn, the rise and fall of the
Ottomans, the trials of independence and state-building, the emergence and fiery
spread of nationalism, the two Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1974, the Iranian
Revolution, and the two Gulf Wars and beyond, including discussion of the
invasion of Iraq by the United States. After tracing the consequences of these
historical events for a host of political phenomena, Kamrava gives detailed
attention to three pivotal issues: the challenges of economic development, the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the question of democracy. He also examines
issues that will shape the future: population growth, environmental pollution,
and water scarcity. Illustrations: 26 b/w photographs, 5 maps.

David Morgan, "The Sacred Gaze: Religious Visual Culture in Theory and Practice"
University of California Press | ISBN 0520242874 | 2005 Year | PDF | 3,87 Mb |
320 Pages
“ "Sacred gaze" denotes any way of seeing that invests its object --an image, a
person, a time, a place--with spiritual significance. Drawing from many
different fields, David Morgan investigates key aspects of vision and imagery in
a variety of religious traditions. His lively, innovative book explores how
viewers absorb and process religious imagery and how their experience
contributes to the social, intellectual, and perceptual construction of reality.
Ranging widely from thirteenth-century Japan and eighteenth-century Tibet to
contemporary America, Thailand, and Africa, The Sacred Gaze discusses the
religious functions of images and the tools viewers use to interpret them.
Morgan questions how fear and disgust of images relate to one another and
explains how scholars study the long and evolving histories of images as they
pass from culture to culture. An intriguing strand of the narrative details how
images have helped to shape popular conceptions of gender and masculinity. The
opening chapter considers definitions of "visual culture" and how these relate
to the traditional practice of art history.
Amply illustrated with more than seventy images from diverse religious
traditions, this masterful interdisciplinary study provides a comprehensive and
accessible resource for everyone interested in how religious images and visual
practice order space and time, communicate with the transcendent, and embody
forms of communion with the divine. The Sacred Gaze is a vital introduction to
the study of the visual culture of religions.
