During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Islamic mysticism, or Sufism, spread extensively throughout Western society, with Sufi teachings permeating all spheres of society. The increasingly powerful and pervasive presence of Sufi popular religiosity and aesthetic traditions in the West has also engendered new cultural forms. Contemporary art has not only greatly expanded the traditional boundaries of aesthetic material culture; it also draws on a far more diverse range of bodily and sensory experiences. Drawing on recent methodological trends inspired by the "aesthetic turn," this book explores contemporary perspectives on art, aesthetics, and Islamic mystical experience, with a focus on sensory synesthesia. The authors seek to contribute not only to the study of postcolonial and decolonial ways of thinking about Sufi performances, artworks, and visual expressions, but also to the development of a transcultural Sufi-inspired aesthetics.
