Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will introduce students to the visual culture (propaganda and representation) of the radical Islamic movements in Iran, Lebanon and Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The first segment (lectures II. and III.) of the course will explore different approaches about the historical origins, social and religious context, and cultural meaning of visual materials in the Islamic tradition and about the place of visual materials, radical Islamic ideology and political culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah of Lebanon in the current context. The main segment (lectures IV. V. and VI.) of the course involves the description, analysis and typology of the visual production of Palestinian Islamic movements (Hamas, Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine and Popular Resistance Committees).
