This book critically examines the "mutual illuminations" between literature, religion, architecture, films, performative arts, paintings, woodworks, memes and masks cutting across time and space. Architecture is a good example where the eventual success of a project depends on the harmony between physical sciences and aesthetics, design and planning, knowledge of building material, the local climate and awareness of cultural sensibilities. This volume affirms that aesthetics and arts are deeply linked through existential issues of who I am. The chapters in this volume present diverse discursive structures highlighting the in-between spaces between various art forms and mediums, such as: Architecture, literature and memory Kafka in SoHo; Kafka and Bernhard Kirchner’s woodcuts; pictorial and stage representations of E.T.A. Hoffmann Hesse’s fairy tales; translations of Pañcatantra Nietzsche, ritual arts and face masks; martyrdom in La chanson de Roland Goethe and Hafiz; Indian thought in Martin Buber Rhythms of the "Third" across cultures Dadaism and contemporary memes
