Dedicated to the topics of eroticism and sexuality in the visual
production of the medieval and early modern Muslim world, this
volume sheds light on the diverse socio-cultural milieus of erotic
images, on the range of motivations that determined their
production, and on the responses generated by their circulation.
The articles revise what has been accepted as a truism in existing
literature-that erotic motifs in the Islamic visual arts should be
read metaphorically-offering, as an alternative, rigorous
contextual and cultural analyses. Among the subjects discussed are
male and female figures as sexualized objects; the spiritual
dimensions of eroticism; licit versus illicit sexual practices; and
the exotic and erotic 'others' as a source of sensual delight. As
the first systematic study on these themes in the field of Islamic
art history, this volume fills a considerable gap and contributes
to the lively debates on the nature and function of erotic and
sexual images that have featured prominently in broader
art-historical discussions in recent decades.
