Abstract

This study aims to analyse the perception of the icons and figural representation in the Islamic tradition in the framework of fetishism. Following debates of fetishism, a new concept, icon-form will be proposed in order to understand the situation of icons in Islam. After that this concept, icon-form will be tested in the case of calligraphy. This may lead to a different approach to the Islamic economy of vision.
