Aus einer interkulturellen Perspektive nimmt das Buch ästhetische Strategien und Formen der Repräsentation in der christlichen und islamischen Sepulkralkunst der Vormoderne in den Blick. Ausgehend von dem Verständnis des Grabmals als Schnittstelle eschatologischer, politischer und künstlerischer Diskurse, analysieren die Beiträge die Vielfalt memorialer Raumkonfigurationen.
Das thematische Spektrum reicht vom komplexen Wechselverhältnis zwischen Architektur und Grabmaltopographie über Fragen nach der funeralen Konstitution von Macht und Identität bis hin zu Praktiken ritueller Vergegenwärtigung im Kontext individueller und kollektiver Erinnerung.
From an intercultural perspective, this book focuses on aesthetic strategies and forms of representation in premodern Christian and Islamic sepulchral art. Seeing the tomb as an interface for eschatological, political, and artistic debate, the contributions analyze the diversity of memorial space configurations.
The subjects range from the complex interaction between architecture and tomb topography through to questions relating to the funereal expression of power and identity, and to practices of ritual realization in the context of individual and collective memory.
