[EAN: 9781904772538], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 4.04], [PU: Black Dog Press, United Kingdom], S. BRENT PLATE BLASPHEMY ART THAT OFFENDS, The issue of censorship has never been hotter. The boundary between artistic freedom and incitement is becoming ever more blurred, and the modes of objection by political and religious fundamentalists to the art they deem offensive are turning ever more extreme. God, Mohammed, Jesus, the Quran and the Torah have all been at one point or another subjected to artistic interpretation, as have more liberal values, such as friendship, education and the nation-state. The responses these images have provoked have ranged from indifference, to, in the case of Theo Van Gogh, murder. Through an examination of a broad range of contentious imagery in art, this book questions the status of blasphemy in a world ever more divided in its views of what is acceptable, and provides an intriguing vantage point from which to view the interrelations between religion, politics and the visual arts. With works including Andres Serrano's Piss Christ, Faith Ringgold's The Flag Is Bleeding and Theo Van Gogh's Submission, as well as popular films such as The Last Temptation of Christ and Life of Brian, and historical material from artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, this book takes a broad view of what is perceived as controversial, idolatrous or obscene. Elaborating on subjects such as the public funding of art, flag desecration, religious intolerance, and challenges to the secular nation state, this is a timely consideration of art and its relationship to authority. Clearly written and thoroughly researched, this book will appeal to both the general reader and the expert in contemporary art. With an appendix of related articles and commentary - from media coverage to political posturing and religious dogmatic assertions - this book provides an important resource for anyone interested in the debates surrounding freedom of expression. The book's content has wide-ranging relevance, running parallel with recent world events such as the ongoing conflict and polarisation in the Middle East; the Taliban in Afghanistan; the Christian right in the United States; radical clerics in the UK and Europe; and the dismantling of formerly Soviet States. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine., Books<

Questions of censorship and freedom of expression are as topical now as they have ever been, as evidenced by the recent international backlash against the Jyllands Posten Islamic caricatures. The boundary between artistic freedom and incitement is becoming ever more blurred, and the modes of objection by political and religious fundamentalists to art which they consider offensive are becoming ever more fervent and extreme. Blasphemy: Art That Offends examines the subject, from the emergence of blasphemy as a concept in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, to its contemporary status and definition in an ostensibly more liberal world, but one that is divided over what is acceptable, with politics and religion remaining inextricably linked. With works ranging from fourteenth century Islamic calligraphy to Andres Serrano's Piss Christ and Theo van Gogh's Submission, Blasphemy: Art That Offends takes a broad view of what is, and has historically been, perceived as controversial, idolatrous or obscene. This is a beautifully illustrated and timely consideration of art and its relationship to authority, censorship and public taste. Media ><

Black Dog Publishing, 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 189 pages. Blasphemy: Art that Offends is a prescient examination of the perpetually troubled, often explosive relationship between religion, politics and art. This book draws on a rich wealth of visual material, tracing both the history of blasphemy as a concept and re-positioning the term in the twenty-first century. Questions of censorship and freedom of expression are today extremely volatile, a fact evinced by the recent international backlash against the Danish newspaper Islamic caricatures and the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh following the release of his notorious Submission. Blasphemy: Art that Offends provides a vital vantage point from which to view the complicated, compelling interrelations between religion, politics and the visual arts.
