Abstract
IJIA’s Dialogues series brings together scholars and practitioners from across varied disciplines for a discussion of critical contemporary issues that interrogate the boundaries between architecture, art, anthropology, archaeology, and history. This session, the third instalment, was held as a webinar in February 2023 and hosted by IJIA Assistant Editor Eliana Abu-Hamdi, featuring Middle East scholars Jillian Schwedler, Deen Sharp, and Kyle Craig. Their conversation addressed the intersection of art, urban politics, and protest in the Middle East, broadly defined, in the form of public displays of sculpture and visual art (graffiti), especially as they are related to issues of displacement, dispossession, diaspora, and national identity. The conversation also extended to digital media and hashtag culture/activism, and to virtual identities. This is an edited excerpt from the original discussion.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
