Reseña del editor
The issue of censorship has never been hotter. The boundary between artistic freedom and incitement is becoming ever more blurred, and the modes of objection by political and religious fundamentalists to the art they deem offensive are turning ever more extreme. God, Mohammed, Jesus, the Quran and the Torah have all been at one point or another subjected to artistic interpretation, as have more liberal values, such as friendship, education and the nation-state. The responses these images have provoked have ranged from indifference, to, in the case of Theo Van Gogh, murder. Through an examination of a broad range of contentious imagery in art, this book questions the status of blasphemy in a world ever more divided in its views of what is acceptable, and provides an intriguing vantage point from which to view the interrelations between religion, politics and the visual arts. With works including Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ", Faith Ringgold's "The Flag Is Bleeding" and Theo Van Gogh's "Submission", as well as popular films such as "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Life of Brian", and historical material from artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, this book takes a broad view of what is perceived as controversial, idolatrous or obscene. Elaborating on subjects such as the public funding of art, flag desecration, religious intolerance, and challenges to the secular nation state, this is a timely consideration of art and its relationship to authority. Clearly written and thoroughly researched, this book will appeal to both the general reader and the expert in contemporary art. With an appendix of related articles and commentary - from media coverage to political posturing and religious dogmatic assertions - this book provides an important resource for anyone interested in the debates surrounding freedom of expression. The book's content has wide-ranging relevance, running parallel with recent world events such as the ongoing conflict and polarisation in the Middle East; the Taliban in Afghanistan; the Christian right in the United States; radical clerics in the UK and Europe; and the dismantling of formerly Soviet States.

Hardcover. Condición: USED_GOOD. 1. Blasphemy: Art that Offends is a prescient examination of the perpetually troubled, often explosive relationship between religion, politics and art. This book draws on a rich wealth of visual material, tracing both the history of blasphemy as a concept and re-positioning the term in the twenty-first century.Questions of censorship and freedom of expression are today extremely volatile, a fact evinced by the recent international backlash against the Danish newspaper Islamic caricatures and the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh following the release of his notorious Submission. Blasphemy: Art that Offends provides a vital vantage point from which to view the complicated, compelling interrelations between religion, politics and the visual arts.Religious and political authorities have burned, banned and banished blasphemous art for centuries. In 1627, Dutch political authorities tortured and imprisoned the painter Johannes Torrentius for creating blasphemous images mostly pornographic renderings of mythological subjects and publicly burned his paintings. In 1989, US Senator Jesse Helms decried Andres Serranos Piss Christ calling it blasphemy and insensitivity toward the religious community. In a reversal of Torrentius artistic fate, Helms accusations, accompanied by the tearing up of a copy of the offending picture, helped raise Serranos status as a photographer, prompting both international visibility and an increase in sales of his work.God, Mohammed, Jesus, the Quran, the Bible and the Torah have all been at one point or another subjected to artistic interpretation, as have more liberal values, such as friendship, education and the nation-state. The book features a broad range of iconographic and textual material including painting, photography, calligraphy, illuminated manuscripts, advertisement, graphic design, and film.Works including Piss Christ and Dinos and Jake Chapmans Hell, as well as the films Submission and Monty Pythons Life of Brian are explored in detail by author and academic S Brent Plate. Also analysed are transgressive works of art, past and present, which walk the line between expression and incitement, by Francis Bacon, Banksy, Caravaggio, Marc Chagall, Marcus Harvey, Sarah Lucas, Edvard Munch, Herman Nitsch and Rembrandt amongst others.In the twenty-first century the boundary between artistic freedom and incitement is becoming ever more blurred, and the modes of objection by political and religious fundamentalists are becoming ever more extreme. BBlasphemy: Art that Offends is testament to the enduring power of images and words to provoke, challenge and engage, questioning the status of blasphemy in a world ever more divided as to what is acceptable and what is profane.
