    ¿Qué había antes del imperio británico?

    December 8, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Entre los siglos XVI y XIX, llegó a India un nuevo conquistador, Babur, empujado fuera de su territorio por un líder afgano, se asentó en Kabul y Delhi y extendió su imperio por toda la zona norte de India. Este nuevo imperio se conoció, a causa de su ascendencia mongola, como imperio mogol. Llegaron a dominar sobre grandes partes del país, hasta que los británicos aprovecharon la decadencia del imperio para imponer su gobierno. Además de por la autoría del monumento más conocido de India, el Taj Mahal, el imperio mogol es conocido por un renacimiento artístico en forma de manuscritos, retratos, escenas de la corte y estudios de historia…

    A Searching Truth

    June 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Question for the day: What brings us to make particular choices? Choices which range from our music preferences to major life decisions? Religion is one such important life choice. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism… the Big 5 (in terms of the most well-known religions). Today I shall be looking at Buddhism. What is the draw? Why is it becoming more and more popular in the Western world?

    Did You Know…?

    April 9, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Islam: What has it given us? Other than the obvious furious debates surrounding it and hatred in Western countries which has stemmed from some spectacular ignorance… But that’s another story. Today, I don’t want to kick-start a massive hoo-ha (in British English that word means trouble/ruckus, in case any Americans out there thought I meant something slightly off colour), but I do want to look at some of the lesser known facts and figures of the world’s second-largest religion. 1.)    Islam has been around for around 1400 years. 2.)    This has led to the medieval Islamic inventions or discoveries of: –  Sulfuric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid. Chemists, you may say…

    Diamonds in the Rough

    February 8, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Arabian nights, like Arabian days, more often than not are hotter than hot in a lot of good ways. The Arab culture has gone from gross underrepresentation in television, art, and film to an intense misrepresentation over the past twenty years or so. While film directors and screen writers are helping the media plague the minds of the public about the Middle East, it’s far less often that I experience outward hatefulness from the group of people whom are relentlessly demonised as threatening, violent, and dangerous. Children are brought up with quirky yet adorable “street-rat” Aladdin, who steals to eat and falls in love well outside of his league. We’re…

    East Meets West

    October 2, 2012 / 0 Comments

    The Musée du Louvre has been in the process of refurbishing their Department of Islamic Art for nearly four years now – expanding to give works of art ranging from India to Spain more, and deserved, space. Reopening the department this month, pieces spanning from the 8th through 19th centuries will be back on display for the masses – it’s about time, guys! Islamic, Central Asian, and Indian Art are all hugely underrepresented in western cultures. Many museums have one room with a few fantastic pieces devoted to entire eras of the eastern cultures. Which begs the question, should these pieces have even travelled outside of their home counties to…

    La verdadera inocencia de los musulmanes

    October 2, 2012 / 0 Comments

    El undécimo aniversario de los ataques del 11 de septiembre ha estado trágicamente marcado por el asesinato del embajador de Estados Unidos en Bengasi, Libia. Este atentado se confundió entre una serie de protestas, violentas y no violentas, suscitadas por el insultante y mediocre largometraje estadounidense Innocence of Muslims (La inocencia de los musulmanes). Aún no se ha confirmado el nombre del responsable de esta película que ridiculiza a Mahoma (o Muhámmad, según se prefiera) y que, supuestamente, trata de demostrar que «el islam es un cáncer», pero las secuencias publicadas por ese desconocido en YouTube han desatado una violencia difícilmente contenible. Realmente es una desgracia que sucesos como estos…

    Vom Schatten ins Licht – Das Département des Arts de l’Islam

    October 2, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Paris ohne das Musée du Louvre und das Musée du Louvre ohne sein gläsernes Pyramidendach? Heute unvorstellbar! Über zwanzig Jahre sind vergangen, seitdem der chinesische Architekt Ieoh Ming Pei (*1917) seinen spektakulären Entwurf für den neuen Eingang des Louvre vorstellte, und es ist schwer zu sagen, ob die Mona Lisa oder die 1989 eingeweihte Glas-Stahl-Konstruktion über dem Eingangsbereich heute mehr Besucher anzieht. Sicher ist jedoch, dass die Glaspyramide einen entscheidenen Einfluss auf das Pariser Stadtbild genommen hat. Dass das Musée du Louvre eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Sammlungen von Kunstwerken der islamischen Welt besitzt, ist dagegen weniger bekannt. Für die bereits in Zeiten der Monarchie begonnene Sammlung wurde 2003 eine eigenständige…

    ¿Quién lo «desconstantinopolizó»?

    June 19, 2012 / 0 Comments

    ¿Quién no ha recitado alguna vez aquello de: «El rey de Constantinopla está constantinopolizado. ¿Quién lo desconstantinopolizará? El desconstantinopolizador que lo desconstantinopolizare, buen desconstantinopolizador será»? Aparte de un buen recurso para los trabalenguas, Constantinopla, actual Estambul turca y antigua Bizancio griega, fue la flamante capital del Imperio bizantino, superviviente de la caída del Imperio romano de Occidente. En el siglo VII, este imperio, que se llamó «griego» en referencia a la predominancia de esta lengua y se convirtió en un verdadero bastión del cristianismo, se extendía desde Siria hasta Egipto y por algunas regiones del norte de África. No obstante, en apenas unos siglos, las provincias del sur de Asia…

    2012 : les Printemps arabes ou un islam universel

    June 19, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Du royaume chérifien à la Syrie s’est élevé un vent de liberté. Maroc, Tunisie, Lybie, Égypte, Syrie… Autant de pays, autant de diversités. Mais un point commun : l’islam. Déjà au viie siècle, l’islam était composite. Pensons aux diverses grandes familles du sud de l’Espagne, comme les Nasrides ou les Almoravides. De l’islam, de cette civilisation brillante, depuis Gibraltar jusqu’au fin fond de l’Inde, en passant par l’Indonésie, il nous reste des témoignages d’un art islamique vivant et qui sut composer avec des traditions locales. Pensons par exemple à l’Alhambra, à la grande mosquée de Kairouan, à celle de Damas, au Taj Mahal ou encore à des villes comme Khiva,…

    …With one, we cannot have the other

    June 18, 2012 / 2 Comments

    Art of the Middle East is facing the same fate as the museums, works of art, and buildings that stood before World War II and, more recently, the Arab Spring. The Pearl Monument, formerly of Bahrain, was torn down by the Bahraini government last year because it was a point of interest for protestors. The Taliban has destroyed Buddhist art in Afghanistan, most specifically the Buddhas of Bamiyan in 2001. Already, works from Pakistan have been delayed in joining their counterparts in exhibitions, while important Egyptian pieces were left behind altogether amidst its revolution. When will it end? When will the selfish pursuits of some stop affecting cultural preservation and…
