Music, Sound, and Architecture in Islam
Tuesday (13a)
Music, Sound, and Architecture in Islam: how are space and sound mutually constitutive, in relation to spirituality and politics?
Due
Nothing! But optionally, read or skim, in part or whole:
- Music, Sound, and Architecture in Islam, edited by Frishkopf and Spinetti, and
- The Sonorous, Audible Mosque, in Mosque : approaches to art and architecture, edited by Idries Trevathan. Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2024.
Also if you'd like to watch The Corporation I sent you a link. It is relevant to my analysis of sound, space, and Sufism as I plan to present today.
