The International ILEM Summer School in Turkey 2023 is intended to address the most pressing challenges affecting the Islamic world. To achieve this goal, the ILEM platform intends to bring together researchers, academics, and artists from around the world. People from all walks of life are urged to apply for this internationally known summer school. Rethinking art and aesthetics in the Islamic World through conceptual, theoretical, and practical methods in a socio-political paradigm will be the focus of the ILEM summer school. Within the intellectual and creative realm, the summer school will envision Islamic art in relation to tradition or spiritual experiences.

Objectives

The IISM 2023 seeks to provide light on what is beyond preconceived and conditional forms of creative expression. The ability to create aesthetic formulae in middle age is assessed using two extreme poles: cultural schizophrenia and acculturation. Respecting cultural diversity will help to build an aesthetic bridge between the distant past and the future. You will become aware of the relationship between aesthetic ideals and perception of beauty, which has been passed down through the past and is today represented in a variety of arts. The conceptual content analyzes several subjects such as innovation, tradition, classical, and perennial knowledge. Thus, a metaphysical background enriches theoretical interpretations of Islamic aesthetics.
