The Leiden summer recess is approaching fast, but before we all go on holiday you are cordially invited to attend the last session of our Role of Experience reading programme for this year. This will take place on Friday, June 23, from 13.00 – 15.00 hrs (venue to be announced). Our colleague, art historian Eelco Nagelsmit, has kindly offered to discuss the following text with us:

• Wendy M.K. Shaw, What is 'Islamic' Art? Between Religion and Perception, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2019, p. 1-39 [“Introduction: From Islamic Art to Perceptual Culture”] doi:10.1017/9781108622967.001.

For non-art historians among us who would like some more background Eelco recommends a second text:

• Matthew Rampley. "Agency, affect and intention in art history: some observations." Journal of Art Historiography. Birmingham: The University of Birmingham, 2021, vol. 2021, No 24, p. 1-21. doi: 10.48352/uobxjah.00003428. https://epapers.bham.ac.uk/3428/

N.B.: In the session we will focus on Shaw’s introduction.

The LUCAS reading group The Role of Experience in Arts of Criticism, Rhetoric, and Aesthetics is dedicated to the examination of affective, embodied-enactive, and new materialist approaches to the arts, and invites anyone interested in experiential interactions between art, its makers, and their audiences to join its monthly reading group.
