SUMMARY:Alya Karame: The Qur’an from Ink on Paper to Dust and Ashes
DESCRIPTION:After capturing the city of Mosul in December 2014\, the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) burned the university library destroying hundreds of thousands of books and manuscripts. The collections included Qur’ans\, one of which was from the ninth century. Like other episodes of our times\, this performance reflects a certain engagement with the Qur’an that revives historically rooted debates related to the materiality of scripture. The relation of the sacred text to its material form has always been shaped by the ways in which people have dealt with the text’s physical manifestations. If burning the Qur’an meant extracting sacrality out of the manuscript\, the act certainly recalls the formation of a secular sphere in the museum context. A form of dematerialisation\, the act also resonates with contemporary moments in which the sacredness of an object is transposed onto different realms and in which the meanings of artworks are negotiated\, in and beyond Islamic communities. \nThis event is in collaboration with Middle Eastern Studies\, Art History and Visual Culture\, and Medieval Studies.
