The Western academy's growing interest in the contemporary arts in the Arab world illustrates the desire to map Islam---problematic as this term is---within the global history of cultures and to integrate it into Western models of the writing and documenting of the past. As positive and corrective as these academic approaches may seem, the notion of recording time---that is, writing history---is still firmly bound at the beginning of the 21st century to the idea of continuity, and the pattern of Western-centric thinking imposes that notion upon contemporary artists and art historians. Yet the political changes and spontaneous eruptions that the Middle East and North Africa are experiencing, especially since the beginning of 2011, defy and resist conventional interpretations of historical processes and therefore demand a rethinking of the configuration of the past.
...MoreDescription Roundtable on how “the desire to map Islam...within the global history of cultures and to integrate it into “Western” models of the writing and documenting of the past” is problematic. (from the abstract)
