Writers of narrative fiction, theatre, and poetry were attuned to these debates, and religious imagery played an important role in how early modern writers chose to portray relations between Christians and Muslims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide variety of literary genres as well as other textual and visual sources - including historical chronicles, travel memoirs, captives' testimonies, and paintings - Catherine Infante traces the references to religious visual culture and the responses they incited in cross-confessional negotiations. She reveals some of the anxieties about what it meant to belong to different ethnic or religious communities and how these communities interacted with each other within the fluid boundaries of the Mediterranean world. Focusing on the religious image as a point of contact between individuals of diverse beliefs and practices, \u003ci\u003eThe Arts of Encounter\u003c\/i\u003e presents an original and necessary perspective on how Christian-Muslim relations were perceived and conveyed in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Infante\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487556454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487556457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Catherine Infante","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159280021759,"sku":"9781487556457","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f581148-fa36-4a49-a952-164e28334545.jpg?v=1689081666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/toronto-iberic-catherine-infante-9781487556457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
