    TITLE:Buddha LOCATION:Bamiyan, Afghanistan DATE: C. 400-800 C.E. ARTIST: PERIOD/STYLE: Gandharan PATRON: MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:Cut sandstone with plaster and polychrome paint. FORM: Details such as facial features and hands were modeled using mud mixed with straw and then coated with stucco and painted bright colors. Stucco is a kind of plaster that is sometimes put on the exterior of houses as a protective coating against the elements. The stucco wore off long ago, but we do know that the larger Buddha figure was painted a deep red and the smaller Buddha was multi-colored with both jewels and copper. The legs were carved in the round which allowed for circumambulation. FUNCTION: The Silk Road comprosed an overland network of trade routes linking China and Central Asia with India and ultimately the Medi- terranean Sea. The Bamiyan Valley’s fertile fields attracted merchants and Buddhist missionaries. Thus between 500 and 750, the region served as both a commercial hub and an important Buddhist spiritual center. CONTENT: The Bamiyan Buddhas served as centerpieces of a flourishing Buddhist community. Both statues manifested the power and piety of their royal benefactors. Visible for miles, they provided pilgrims and merchants with a dramatic reminder to follow Buddhist practices, The two timeless images also marked a momentous development in Buddhist art. The gigantic Bamiyan statues represented Buddha as more than a gifted teacher; he was now presented as a guiding, enduring, and universal spiritual presence. CONTEXT: Bamiyan was situated right on the Silk Route as it went through the Hindu Kush mountain region in the Bamiyan valley of Afghanistan.

The Ambiguities of the Holy: Authenticating Relics in Seventeenth-Century Spain* by K ATRINA O LDS Recent scholarship has shown that, even at the heart of the Catholic world, defining holiness in the Counter-Reformation was remarkably difficult, in spite of ongoing Roman reforms meant to centralize and standardize the authentication of saints and relics. If the standards for evaluating sanctity were complex and contested in Rome, they were even less clear to regional actors, such as the Bishop of Jae´n, who supervised the discovery of relics in Arjona, a southern Spanish town, beginning in 1628. The new relics presented the bishop, Cardinal Baltasar de Moscoso y Sandoval, with knotty historical, theological, and procedural dilemmas.

  • The Islamic World: a Vast Expanse
    Beauty and Belief Crossing Bridges with the Arts of Islamic Culture The Islamic World: A Vast Expanse “Beauty and Belief invites visitors to a world of a wondrous beauty that spills across the centuries in an expression from one of humanity’s great civilizations.” – Sabiha Al Khemir The revelation of the Qur’an took place in Arabia starting in 610 CE. By 715 the map of the Muslim world spread west to Europe and east to Asia. The magnitude of the geographical scale of the Islamic world, spanning continents, reflects the rich diversity embraced by Islamic Culture. 1 [Jeff, please either use this actual timeline if you can make it spill across two pages – which would be preferable – or use the following list below.] Timeline of Key Events in the Islamic World c. 570- Muhammed the Prophet is born. Muhammed is a merchant by trade known for his skills in diplomacy. c. 610- Muhammed begins receiving divine revelation and preaches monotheism, the belief that there is only one God. These revelations comprise the Qu’ran, the holy book of scripture for Muslims. 622- Following religious persecution, Muhammed and his followers leave the city of Mecca to settle in Medina. Muhammed gathers followers from surrounding cities and subsequently defeats Meccan armies. 630- Muhammed and 10,000 Muslims take control of Mecca, making it the spiritual center of Islam and re-dedicating the Ka’bah to the worship of God. All Muslims pray facing the direction of this cube-shaped building built by Abraham, and are encouraged to make a pilgrimage to this holy site.

  • A Discourse Analysis on the Selective Representation of the Islamic Past in Spanish and Portuguese Tourism
    UNITED IN DIVERSITY? A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ON THE SELECTIVE REPRESENTATION OF THE ISLAMIC PAST IN SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE TOURISM BY KATHERINE A. O’DOWD THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in European Union Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Javier Irigoyen-García, Chair Outreach Coordinator Sebnem Ozkan Associate Professor Carla Santos ABSTRACT A famous EU slogan claims that the supra-nation is “united in diversity,” but there exists a tension between this idea of an inclusive, diverse, cosmopolitan European identity and the lack of representation that Europe’s Islamic past receives in tourism websites. Being historically relevant, I have chosen to look at the representation of the Islamic past in Spanish and Portuguese tourism and have identified two comparable national monuments, the Alhambra in Granada, Spain and Silves Castle in Silves, Portugal. Both are located in what was the territory of al-Andalus, they were the last capital cities under Islamic control, and they are considered to be very well preserved national monuments today. Although these sites have the potential to legitimize and include Islam in European identity, the way in which they are represented promotes its exclusion. This exclusion can be seen in the way that tourism texts for the Alhambra and Silves castle cleanse and erase the Islamic past as a means to create a specific image of them as the ‘other.’ Because the majority of Spanish and Portuguese tourism comes from the European Union, I conclude that, paradoxically, the otherization of the Islamic past is a means to attract European tourists to the sites.

During its peak, numerous Islamic dynasties had been developed which resulted in the creation of new forms of architecture.
