First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Centering Pakistanthe 'Land of the Pure'in a story of transnational Islam stretching from South Asia to the Middle East, Fuchs offers the first in-depth ethnographic history of Shi'is and their religious competitors in the region. The notion of Pakistan as the pinnacle of modern global Muslim aspiration forms a crucial component of this story. It has empowered Shi'is, who form about twenty percent of Pakistan's population, to advance alternative conceptions of their religious hierarchy while claiming the support of towering grand ayatollahs in Iran and Iraq. Fuchs shows how popular Pakistani preachers and scholars have boldly tapped into the esoteric potential of Shi'ism, occupying a creative and at times disruptive role as brokers, translators, and self-confident pioneers of contemporary Islamic thought. They have indigenized the Iranian Revolution and formulated their own ideas for fulfilling the original promise of Pakistan. Challenging typical views of Pakistan as a mere Shi'i backwater, Fuchs argues that its uniquely South Asian Islam may open up space for new intellectual contributions to global Islam. Yet, religious ideology has also turned Pakistan into a deadly battlefield: sectarian groups since the 1980s have been bent on excluding Shi'is as harmful to their own vision of an exemplary Islamic state, which has resulted in terrible violence.

Paperback. Condition: New. Centering Pakistan in a story of transnational Islam stretching from South Asia to the Middle East, Simon Wolfgang Fuchs offers the first in-depth ethnographic history of the intellectual production of Shi'is and their religious competitors in this ""Land of the Pure."" The notion of Pakistan as the pinnacle of modern global Muslim aspiration forms a crucial component of this story. It has empowered Shi'is, who form about 20 percent of the country's population, to advance alternative conceptions of their religious hierarchy while claiming the support of towering grand ayatollahs in Iran and Iraq. Fuchs shows how popular Pakistani preachers and scholars have boldly tapped into the esoteric potential of Shi'ism, occupying a creative and at times disruptive role as brokers, translators, and self-confident pioneers of contemporary Islamic thought. They have indigenized the Iranian Revolution and formulated their own ideas for fulfilling the original promise of Pakistan. Challenging typical views of Pakistan as a mere Shi'i backwater, Fuchs argues that its complex religious landscape represents how a local, South Asian Islam may open up space for new intellectual contributions to global Islam. Yet religious ideology has also turned Pakistan into a deadly battlefield: sectarian groups since the 1980s have been bent on excluding Shi'is as harmful to their own vision of an exemplary Islamic state.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Platforms of Reality examines the oeuvre of a multi-layered analysis and interpretation of Heaven Baek's work, which resonates through the composition of people and society in both reality and on stage. The main content of the book ranges from the artist's early works to her recent practice, where she questions the reality of video timelines and instant realities with a strong sense of immediacy, collective memories, and staged realities. And through these well-scripted performances, she is thus representing the flood of real information that has somehow lost its purpose and meaning.The book is divided into four different chapters, each exploring a different sense of reality. The "platform" is used for both as a stage or, where trains leave from different tracks with different destinations, crossing paths while encountering each other continuously. These platforms may be imagined as stages for her work-bringing together her artistic approaches where Baek attempts to permeate social collectives with her research and artistic methodologies-from drawing to video to installation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
