Ever since mass production stripped the artwork of its religious aura, words have lost much of the luster of their "flesh," that is their physical instantiation in book-form that found its natural expression in the illuminated manuscript. Both structures, like the Beinecke and the Morgan and the British Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France (old and new) and the New York Public Library and the Deutsche Bucherei in Leipzig, stood in the exhibition as emptied monuments, relics of an era that believed in the instantiation of knowledge and its collective pursuit, only to see both--knowledge and collectivity--dispersed into an endless flow of dematerialized code. In Islam, what gave birth to its radical wing inspiring, among other groups, the latest instantiation of "The Muslim Brotherhood" in Egypt, were the failures of Nassar's secular pan-Arabism an ideology that, while not identical to liberal religion in the west, shared some important dimensions with it. |
