Description/Abstract:

This paper addresses the esthesic perspective of the act of veiling, through the use of the niqab – an Islamic garment that covers the face completely, except for the eyes. With the view to homage Greimas' last individual work, De L'imperfection, the research investigates the aesthetic emotion contained in the act of veiling, the sensations caused by the veil, and the action of clothes over the feminine body. Analysing testimonials of Muslim women living in the West who chose to veil in their daily lives, popular culture, traditional semiotical theory, and also by experimenting with wearing a niqab, I propose a socio-semiotical approach to Islamic wear with the purpose of understanding the veil from within.
