Hajj
One of the five pillars of Islam central to Muslim belief, Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim must make at least once in their lifetime if they are able. This catalogue, accompanying a major exhibition in Doha, Qatar, charts the history of this deeply personal journey. The exhibition explores the history of this pilgrimage through the centuries, focusing on the routes taken by pilgrims, the rituals of Hajj as depicted through art, the experiences of pilgrims after completion of Hajj, and includes a special section dedicated to the oral histories and objects of Qatari pilgrims. Beautiful objects, including historical and contemporary art, textiles and manuscripts from the collections of the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha bring to life the profound spiritual significance of the sacred rituals that have remained unchanged since the Prophet Muhammads time in the 7th century AD.
Museum of Islamic Art: the Collection
The first comprehensive reference publication on the world-class collection at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar, featuring examples of dazzling artistic achievements from across the Islamic world.
Qajar Women
Qajar Women highlights the diversity of women?s representations throughout Qajar artistic production and explores changes in the defining notions of female beauty in modern Islamic art.0Representations of women in the public and private sphere, female musicians, and aristocratic or symbolic women help to demonstrate their centrality in the artistic expression of 19th-century Iran.0Qajar Women offers the opportunity to showcase artworks of the Museum of Islamic Art?s permanent collection that have never been displayed in the past and to contextualise them with historical photographs from the Women?s Worlds in Qajar Iran digital archive of the Harvard University Library, which demonstrate the artistic modernisation in Iran that appeared through both paintings and photography.0The objects range from albums featuring watercolour paintings to exquisite jewels evoking fascinating and rarely-told narratives of the Qajar artistic and social tradition.00Exhibition: Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar (09.04.-11.06.2017).
Earthen Architecture in Muslim Cultures
This edited volume follows the panel “Earth in Islamic Architecture” organised for the World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES) in Ankara, on the 19th of August 2014. Earthen architecture is well-known among archaeologists and anthropologists whose work extends from Central Asia to Spain, including Africa. However, little collective attention has been paid to earthen architecture within Muslim cultures. This book endeavours to share knowledge and methods of different disciplines such as history, anthropology, archaeology and architecture. Its objective is to establish a link between historical and archaeological studies given that Muslim cultures cannot be dissociated from social history. Contributors: Marinella Arena; Mounia Chekhab-Abudaya; Christian Darles; François-Xavier Fauvelle; Elizabeth Golden; Moritz Kinzel; Rolando Melo da Rosa; Atri Hatef Naiemi; Bertrand Poissonnier; Stéphane Pradines; Paola Raffa and Paul D. Wordsworth.

Patrimoine architectural du Sud algérien
Ce travail est consacré à l'étude d'un type d'architecture et d'implantation humaine au Sahara : le q sar. À partir d'une mise en contexte géographique et historique, ainsi que de l'étude systématique et comparative d'un corpus de vingt-six sites situés dans la partie septentrionale du Sahara algérien, il s'agit de tenter de définir le q sar parmi les formes d'urbanisme du dar al-islam et répondant à un mode de vie semi-sédentaire, voire sédentaire.
