Multispecies Archaeology Edited by Suzanne E. Pilaar Birch Series: Archaeological Orientations Multispecies Archaeology explores the issue of ecological and cultural novelty in the archaeological record from a multispecies perspective. Encompassing more than just our relationships with animals the book considers what we can learn about the human past without humans as the focus of the question. The volume digs deep into our understanding of interaction with plants, fungi, microbes, and even the fundamental building blocks of life, DNA. Multispecies Archaeology examineswhat it means to be human—and non-human—from a variety of perspectives providing a new lens through which to view the past.

Exploring the Materiality of Food 'Stuffs' Transformations, Symbolic Consumption and Embodiments Edited by Louise Steel and Katharina Zinn Series: Routledge Studies in Archaeology This volume explores the materiality of foodstuffs past and present, examining humanity’s intriguingly complex relationships with, and experiences of, food. The book also expands our understanding of materiality through a fresh focus on material culture, analysing objects used to prepare, wrap, serve and consume food and the tactile experiences involved. Considering a wide range of cultures, spanning from ancient China to modern-day Kenya, this broad collection of interdisciplinary chapters reveal the multiple interplays between foods, bodies, material worlds, rituals and embodied knowledge that emerge from these encounters and which, in turn, shape the material culture of food.

Animals and Monsters in Ancient Religion and Culture
Community-Based Heritage in Africa Preserving a Continent, Village by Village
Edited by Sian Lewis and Sam Newington
Peter R. Schmidt
Talking snakes and sacred crocodiles, roaring giants and hermaphrodites, hybrid monsters and terrifying demons: the world of ancient myth and religion was populated by creatures real and imaginary, benevolent or threatening. This collection of essays from experts in a range of disciplines examines the role played by animals and monsters in ancient myths of creation, worship and art, and how cultures of the Mediterranean and Near East influenced each others’ myth and thought.
Thsi volumeprovides a powerful alternative to the Western paradigms that have governed archaeological inquiry in Africa. Focusing on local projects instead of top-down community engagements, Schmidt explores how and why such research initiatives, which are often motivated by rapid culture change caused by globalization, arose among the Haya people of western Tanzania. Examining three local initiatives, Schmidt draws on his experience as an anthropologist invited to collaborate and co-produce with the Haya to provide a poignant rendering of the successes, conflicts, and failures that punctuated their participatory community research efforts.

Elis
Herod
Internal Politics and External Policy in Ancient Greece
King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans
Graeme Bourke Series: Cities of the Ancient World
Peter Richardson and Amy Marie Fisher Series: Routledge Ancient Biographies
Elis examines the city from its earliest history, through the Archaic period and the Classical period where it thrived, to its decline in the Hellenistic, Roman and later periods. Through examining this prominent city-state, its role in contemporary politics and the place of Olympia in its territory, Graeme Bourke allows the reader to explore broader issues, such as the relationship between the Spartans and their various allies, often collectively referred to as ‘the Peloponnesian League’. The volume, provides a valuable resource for students and academics studying the city of Elis, the Peloponnese and the relationships within it, and pre-Hellenistic Greece as a whole.
Herod examines the life of this controversial figure, the most highly visible of the Roman client kings under Augustus, whose rule shaped the world in which Christianity arose. In this expanded second edition, additions include discussion of the archaeological evidence of Herod’s activity, his building program, numismatic evidence, and consideration of the roles and activities of other client kings, making this a valuable tool for those interested in the wider Roman world of the late first century BCE. With new maps, architectural drawings, and numerous photographs, Herod remains the definitive study of the life and activities of the king known traditionally as Herod the Great.

Edited by Sarah B. Barber and Arthur A. Joyce
This book, built around the study of the representation of age and identity in 23,000 Latin funerary epitaphs from the Western Mediterranean in the Roman era, will set out how the use of age in epitaphs and, thus, also time, varied across this region. The discrepancy between the use of time to represent identity in death allows us to begin to understand the differences between the cultures of Italy and those of North Africa, Spain and southern Gaul.

Memphis, Babylon, Cairo
Rome and the Classic Maya
An Archaeology
Comparing the Slow Collapse of Civilizations
David Jeffreys, University College London, UK and Ana Tavares, Field Director, Ancient Egypt Research Associates Series: Cities of the Ancient World This book explores the human past in Egypt’s ‘capital zone’, the nexus of social activity located at the junction of the Nile valley and the Nile delta, the archaeology of which is a template through time for the development of Nile valley civilization as a whole. Instead of a linear narrative, the volume takes a wider four-dimensional approach, considering ecology and climate change, the Nile regime and human response to it over time, the cognitive aspects of the environment; and instead of insisting on a compartmentalised division based on a dynasty-led system of time parcels, it argues for natural and social continuity in a broader context over 5000 years or more.

Rebecca Storey and Glenn R Storey In this detailed comparative study, Rebecca and Glenn Storey examine the cultural changes marking the fall of two well-known ancient complex societies: the Classical Maya and the Ancient Roman Empire. Utilizing the concept of slow collapse, the authors show how the two societies experienced comparable problems that ultimately led to the parallel processes of decline despite their cultural dissimilarities.

It is structured in three sections: design and function, landscape and urban context, and architectural form and includes contributions from the late Antique period through to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, considering bishops’ residences in England, Scotland, Wales, the Byzantine Empire, France, and Italy.

This book is the first to investigate early Roman religion on the basis of archaeological evidence. Author Elizabeth Colantoni uses the archaeological data to construct a new narrative about early Roman religious practices, examining the role and nature of sacred space; the religious calendar; gods, priests and worshippers; ritual and sacrifice; and death rites and ancestor cult in early Rome. The result is a fuller and more accurate picture of changing early Roman religious practices that also provides the basis for a better understanding of the more widely attested religion of the Romans who lived during the period of the Roman republic and after.

The Archaeology of Medieval Ireland
The Emperor in the Byzantine World
Terry B. Barry, Trinity College, Dublin.
Papers from the 47th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies
The Archaeology of Medieval Ireland has become an indispensable guide to the archaeology of this crucial period in Ireland’s history. As well as providing an overview of the methods and practice of medieval Irish archaeology it provides a major survey of the monuments and material of the period - earthen and stone castles, moated sites, villages, towns, cathedrals, churches, tower houses, pottery kilns and mills. This new edition brings this important work up-to-date especially in the light of the huge growth in urban archaeology in Ireland driven by the recent growth in the construction industry. Developments in digital technology have also revolutionised archaeological practice and the new information now available from recent studies inform the book throughout. New research on the western third of the Island and the domination of the Gaelic Irish is also included.

The Archaeology of the Eleventh Century
The Iron Age in Northern Britain
Continuities and Transformations
Britons and Romans, Natives and Settlers
Edited by Dawn M. Hadley, University of Sheffield, UK and Chris C. Dyer, University of Leicester, UK (emeritus) Series: Society for Medieval Archaeology Monographs The Archaeology of the Eleventh Century explores this formative period of English history and in particular the impact of the Conquest of England by the Normans. The volume examines how the Normans contributed to local culture, religion and society through a range of topics including food culture, funerary practices, the development of castles and their impact, and how both urban and rural life evolved during the eleventh century. Through its nuanced approach to the complex relationships and regional identities which characterized the period, this collection stimulates renewed debate and challenges some of the long-standing myths surrounding the Conquest.

The Cycladic and Aegean Islands in Prehistory
The Life of Trade
Ina Berg
Events and Happenings in the Niumi’s Atlantic Center
Analyzing the development of the Cycladic and Aegean islands from their earliest settlement in the Mesolithic through to the end of the Mycenaean period, The Cycladic and Aegean Islands in Prehistory traces the major environmental, cultural and religious transformations of these communities. Fully up-to-date, this book considers well-known historical excavations as well as the results of important excavations undertaken over the last 20 years. The book's chronological structure delivers the necessary factual knowledge of sites, objects, debates and theoretical frameworks, while extra ‘context’ sections provide a critical analysis of an important theme for each time period.
Liza Gijanto, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Archaeology The Life of Trade utilizes archaeological and historical sources to address the complex nature of Atlantic trade on the Gambia River. Taking a fresh multi-disciplinary approach, the book highlights the region’s atypical position as a commercial crossroads for both interior and Atlantic markets. This engagement with a diversified commodities trade shaped a multi-ethnic, multi-religious community which was supported by, and reliant on, economic exchange. Analysing data from archaeological excavations in the region, Gijanto situates the Niumi Kingdom within the emerging capitalist world-system and so enriches our understanding of this period of great change

Edited by Alan M. Greaves, University of Liverpool, UK Series: Routledge Worlds Ionia was home to some of the most important cities of the ancient world and was the birthplace of influential philosophical ideas. However, it is often overlooked in historical surveys despite the huge popularity of archaeological sites such as Ephesos and the prominence of Ionian antiquities in the world’s museums. Nevertheless, the sheer range and diversity of debates, methods and data in The World of Ionia indicates a flourishing area of research that inspires international academic debate at a very highest level. Including global contributors with a plurality of approaches, the volume provides lively debate and fresh perspectives on this important region of the ancient world.

The Swahili World
Thebes
Edited by Stephanie Wynne-Jones, The University of York and Adria Laviolette Series: Routledge Worlds
A History Nicholas Rockwell Series: Cities of the Ancient World
The Swahili World explores aspects of the archaeology, history, linguistics and anthropology of the eastern African coast. It covers a 1,500-year sweep of history, during which time the coast was initially settled, towns developed, people converted to Islam, and successive colonial regimes preceded the current nation states which make up the shoreline. The ‘Swahili Age’ forms the backbone of this study, from approximately AD700 – 1500 and reflects the fact that most of our knowledge of this civilization comes from archaeology. However, with the inclusion of chapters from other disciplines, this collection provides the most nuanced and detailed consideration of Swahili culture ever produced.

Thebes offers a scholarly survey of the history and archaeology of the city. Discussions of major developments in politics, war, society and culture form the basis of a chronological examination of one of Greece’s most powerful and dynamic cities. By taking a broad view, the book’s account speaks to larger trends in the ancient Mediterranean world while also demonstrating how Thebes was unique in its ancient context. It provides an up-to-date examination of all available information: topographic, demographic, numismatic, epigraphic, archaeological and textual discussions provide the most complete, current picture of ancient Thebes and illustrate the value of an interdisciplinary approach.

Image and Ideology before the New Kingdom Laurel Bestock Series: Routledge Studies in Egyptology This book explores the use of images of violence as a tactic of royal power in Egypt before the New Kingdom, from the Neolithic through to the end of the Middle Kingdom, and by analysing these scenes of violence demonstrates how intimately such imagery was linked to kingship. Both art historical and archaeological, it looks individually at each representation to discuss how and what it communicated, but also comprehensively gathers images and organizes them contextually patterns can be traced. Heavily illustrated, it is both a book of ideas and a catalog, thought-provoking in its own right, but also an indispensable tool for future research by others.

Archaeologies of “Us” and “Them”
Identity and the Museum Visitor Experience John H Falk
Debating History, Heritage and Indigeneity
Drawing upon a career in studying museum visitors, renowned researcher John Falk attempts to create a predictive model of visitor experience, one that can help museum professionals better meet those visitors’ needs.
Edited by Charlotta Hillerdal, Anna Karlström, Uppsala University, Sweden and Carl-Gösta Ojala, Uppsala University, Sweden Series: Routledge Studies in Archaeology Archaeologies of “Us” and “Them” explores the concept of indigeneity within the field of archaeology and heritage and in particular examines the shifts in power that occur when ‘we’ define ‘the other’ by categorizing ‘them’ as indigenous. Recognizing the complex and shifting distinctions between indigenous and non-indigenous pasts and presents, this volume draws on an international range of global case studies to give a nuanced analysis of the underlying definitions, concepts and ethics associated with this field in order to explore indigenous archaeology as a theoretical, ethical and political framework.

Creating the Visitor-centered Museum Peter Samis and Mimi Michaelson
Modern Conflict and the Senses Killer Instincts?
What does the transformation to a visitor-centered approach do for a museum? How are museums made relevant to a broad range of visitors of varying ages, identities, and social classes? Does appealing to a larger audience force museums to “dumb down” their work? Based on a study of ten innovative American and European collections based museums, Samis and Michaelson answer these key questions. The book: • describes key institutions that have opened the doors to a wider range of visitors; • addresses the internal struggles to reorganize and democratize these institutions; • uses case studies, interviews and additional resources to help museum professionals implement a visitor-centered approach.

Edited by Nicholas J. Saunders and Paul Cornish, Imperial War Museum, UK Modern Conflict and the Senses investigates the sensual worlds created by modern war, focusing on the sensorial responses embodied in and provoked by the materiality of conflict and its aftermath. The volume positions the industrialized nature of twentieth-century war as a unique cultural phenomenon that embodies the extremes of human behaviour, from total economic mobilization to the unbearable sadness of individual loss. Adopting a coherent and integrated hybrid approach to the complexities of modern conflict, the book considers issues of memory, identity, and emotion through wartime experiences of tangible sensations and bodily requirements.

Global Social Archaeologies
Official Power and Local Elites in the Roman Provinces
An Introduction Koji Mizoguchi and Claire E Smith
Edited by Rada Varga and Viorica Rusu-Bolindeț
Written by two presidents of the World Archaeological Congress, this volume introduces the readers to the various theoretical and methodological frameworks available for the social archaeology of the past and their implications for contemporary societies.
Presenting a new overview of the ruling classes of the Roman Empire, this volume explores aspects of the relations between the official state structures of Rome and local provincial elites. The perspectives from which issues are approached are as multiple as the realities of the Roman world: from historical and epigraphic studies to research of philological and linguistic interpretations, and from architectural analyses to direct interpretations of the material culture. While some local potentates took pride in their relationship with Rome and use of Latin, exhibiting their allegiances publically as well as privately, others preferred to keep this display solely for public manifestation.

Picenum
Walking into the Void
A landscape of ritual and myth
On the Social and Anthropological Significance of Walking
Eleanor Betts
Arpad Szakolczai and Agnes Horvath, University College Cork, Ireland Series: Contemporary Liminality
The Central Adriatic region of Picenum is a relatively unknown area of Roman and pre-Roman Italy, but it has a rich material culture comparable with that of the Etruscans and spanning the first millennium BCE (ca. 900-268 BCE). This book explores the sacred landscape of the region and interprets the evidence for Picene religion for the first time. The book explores the relationship between the material evidence (votive deposits of figurines and pottery, monumentalised inscriptions), the topographical landscape and the people who used them. It considers how the Picenes may have experienced their environment and given it meaning, with a particular emphasis on sacred sites which have a mountain peak, water feature or cave as their cult focus. The volume will be innovative in bringing together (predominantly Italian) scholarship on varied aspects of Iron Age and early Roman religion, interpreted via a phenomenological approach. This approach reconstructs the physiological responses people.
The first comprehensive historical sociology and political anthropology of walking as a formative and transformative experience, this book employs the genealogical method and the concept of liminality to theorise the links between walking, pilgrimage and rites of passage as liminal experiences, and offers a historical survey of the role played by walking in settled and increasingly massified societies. A fresh perspective on the ills of modernity that retrieves connections with the civilisation of the distant past through one the most important experiences of human beings, this ground-breaking work will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in sociology and historical sociology, anthropology, archaeology, cultural studies and social and anthropological theory.

The Archaeology of Lucanian Cult Places
Women in the Museum
Fourth Century BC to the Early Imperial Age
The Transformation of the 21st-Century Museum
Ilaria Battiloro
Joan Baldwin and Anne Ackerson
The fourth and third centuries BCE witnessed the flourishing of Lucanian communities in southern Italy but by the end of the third century BCE most Lucanian inhabited centres declined and were finally abandoned as new Roman towns were founded. Until recently scholars have assumed that Lucanian sanctuaries and cult places declined simultaneously with the inhabited centres but new archaeological research reveals that a number of cult places continued to be used despite the abandonment of the surrounding centres and other sanctuaries, after a set-back following the Hannibalic war, flourished again. With a detailed analysis of the archaeological record this volume challenges the simplistic interpretation of the transformation of Lucanian sanctuaries as either the adoption of Roman cultural models, or as ’cultural resistance’ to the hegemonic culture.
Women in the Museum explores the professional lives of the sector’s female workforce, examining the challenges they face working in what was once a male dominated field. Drawing on testimony gathered from surveys, focus groups and interviews with female museum professionals, the book examines the nature of gender bias in the profession as well as women’s varied responses to it. In doing so, it clarifies how women’s work in museums differs from men’s and reveals the entrenched nature of gender bias in the museum workplace. Written by experienced museum professionals, it is the first book to examine the topic in depth.

Displaced Things
Maritime Heritage in Crisis
Sandra H. Dudley, University of Leicester, UK
Indigenous Landscapes and Global Ecological Breakdown
Displaced Things explores the movements of material things from the starting point and perspective of the object. It does so through the lens of displacement, drawing on earlier work on forced migration and conceptualising displacement in relation to anthropological ritual theory. It aims not only to augment understandings of the significance of things and the complexities of their relationships with human beings, but also to problematize notions of the settings through which objects move – including those of museum and ‘heritage’, definable as they are by their particular approaches to the re-contextualisations of things.
Richard M. Hutchings, Vancouver Island University, Canada Series: Archaeology & Indigenous Peoples Maritime heritage landscapes are undergoing a period of unprecedented crisis, severely impacted by coastal development, population growth and climate change. Indigenous heritage sites are thought to be particularly vulnerable to these changes and cultural resource management is frequently positioned as a community’s first line of defense, yet there is increasing evidence that this archaeological technique is an ineffective means of protection. Presenting the institution of archaeology and CRM as a grave threat to Indigenous maritime heritage, this volume offers an important lesson on the relationship between neoliberal heritage regimes and global ecological breakdown.

Global Mobilities
Museums, Moralities and Human Rights
Refugees, Exiles, and Immigrants in Museums and Archives Edited by Amy K. Levin Global Mobilities explores the role of museums and archives in the politics of integration and cultural diversity and their efforts to further the inclusion of racial and ethnic minority populations. Global case studies examine conflicts inherent in this work, such as whether assimilation, integration, or another model is ideal. Chapters provide diverse perspectives, including not only the voices of museum practitioners and scholars, but also those of artists, visitors, undocumented immigrants, and other members of source communities, making Global Mobilities an often provocative volume which offers a comprehensive overview of the field.
Richard Sandell Series: Museum Meanings This book explores how museums, galleries and heritage sites of all kinds, through the narratives they construct and publicly present, shape the moral and political climate within which human rights are negotiated and experienced. Through a series of richly-drawn cases which focus on gender diversity and same-sex love, Sandell examines the ways in which museums are implicated in the ongoing struggle for LGBTI rights. Offering new insights into how human rights are continually fought for, realised and refused, this volume makes the case for museums of all kinds to take up an active, mindful and purposive engagement with contemporary human rights concerns.

Museum Ethics in Practice
The Routledge Companion to Cultural Property
Gary Edson, Museum of Texas Tech University, USA This volume is a clear and practical guide to the difficult ethical questions museums work entails. Promoting the value of ethical theory and practice in museums, Edson tackles a number of key questions and also corrects some of the prevailing misconceptions about museum ethics, such as the difference between social morals and professional ethics as they relate to the museum context. Using example-driven arguments which incorporate varied case studies from around the world, Museum Ethics in Practice is an excellent resource for Museum Studies students and professionals currently working in museums.

Museum Learning Theory and Research as Tools for Enhancing Practice
Time Frames: Conservation Policies for Twentieth Century Architectural Heritage
Jill Hohenstein and Theano Moussouri, University College London, UK
Edited by Ugo Carughi and Massimo Visone
Museum Learning employs a ‘learning’ lens to highlight the insights as well as practical implications and applications theoretical approaches can offer museum studies students, practitioners and researchers working in informal learning contexts such as museums, aquariums, zoos and botanical gardens, historical re-enactments, among others. Learning is considered not just as cognitive or ‘traditional’ learning, but also affective: interests, attitudes and emotions. This book will shed light on various approaches to informal learning allowing students and informal learning practitioners to create more effective environments for learning.
Time Frames provides a reconnaissance on the conservation rules and current protection policies in more than 100 countries, with particular attention to the emerging nations and 20th century architecture. The contributions illustrate the critical issues related to the architectural listing, with a brief history of national approaches, a linkography and a short bibliography. The second part is a Short Critical Lexicography, with 12 papers written by scholars and experts on five topics: Identities (Italian tradition, Arab World) Heritages (housing, industrial architecture) Conservation (rights and specificities), Memories (preservation, promotion) and Economy (impact).

Arts Leadership in Contemporary Contexts
Cultures of Race and Ethnicity at the Museum
Josephine Caust, University of Melbourne, Australia University of Melbourne, Australia Series: Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies
Exploring Post-imperial Heritage Practices
This book explores and critiques different aspects of arts leadership within contemporary contexts. While this is an exploration of ways arts leadership is understood, interpreted and practiced, it is also an acknowledgement of a changing cultural and economic paradigm. Understanding the broader environment for the arts is therefore part of the leadership imperative. This book examines aspects such as individual versus collective leadership, gender, creativity, and the influences of stake-holders and culture. While the book provides a theoretical and critical understanding of arts leadership, it also gives examples of arts leadership in practice.
Divya P. Tolia-Kelly Series: Heritage, Culture and Identity Engaging with archaeologists, as well as artists exploring the issue of 'race' representation, this book reviews the taxonomies and culture in place at national museums in Britain and New Zealand and considers a postcolonial account of curatorial practice. It argues that the current taxonomies are remnants of 19th century scientific racism which are now being revised at the British Museum, London and Te Papa, Wellington. Using research with two artist/curators and a live exhibition, the book proposes a new approach to race at the museum for the 21st century.

Constructing Sites of Memory
Cultures of the Countryside and the Museum
Paul Williams Series: Memory Studies: Global Constellations
Veronica Sekules
Contemporary interest in memory projects has much to do with a profound change of our sense of time and space, motivated and caused by factors such as technological change, the information revolution and new global trends in consumption and mobility. With information about all kinds of historical events now freely available, what can geographical sites communicate that is substantially different to that available in other forms (such as books, video, and internet)? As three-dimensional places upon which a certain kind of cultural ritual is enacted, historical sites are more complex than a written or visual source, and less easy to read. The genius loci - the spirit of the site - is often hard to describe, but doubtlessly felt to be perceptible. This essence makes people feel that they share past experiences; as if being in the same space once inhabited by others can, to an extent, collapse time and provide direct access to history. To explore these themes, Paul Williams uses insights.

This book traces the relationship between the museum and the micro-cultures of the countryside over the last 50 years. The period is one of extraordinary tensions and change for the countryside, as it has experienced widespread agricultural mechanisation, rural depopulation and changing demographics, the growth of environmental activism, and the development of the heritage industry. Global issues such as the political and social imperatives to tackle population growth and climate change have led to an increasing sense of a distributed responsibility for the world’s welfare with strong local implications. Through all of this, the countryside is ever more under pressure, and of increasing importance as a healthy provider of more and more resources. How are these competing histories, visions and politics represented in the museum and most particularly in the way it educates and communicates? The responsibility to its locality is one of the fundamental qualities and purposes of the museum.

This unique and useful book is an exploration of new curatorial developments that have impacted not only on museum practice but also across international creative industries. In the 21st century the traditional role of the curator as connoisseur has been challenged by a new generation of curators who might be described as 'facilitators of experience'. The term curating now describes the production of cultural and creative outputs ranging from exhibitions to art festivals, conferences or film programming. The book showcases these new directions across four parts, each containing informative explanations and case studies of curating practice, based on a decade of pioneer work. Each part explores the key changes contemporary curatorial practice has brought about across contemporary shopping environments, public spaces, health centres, cultural programmes, as well as museums and galleries.

Museums in the Second World War
François Boucher and the Luxury of Art in Paris, 1703-1770
Curators, Culture and Conflict Catherine Pearson and edited by Suzanne Keene, University College London, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Modern History Exploring the role of museums, galleries and curators during the upheaval of the Second World War, this book challenges the accepted view of a hiatus in museum services during the conflict and its immediate aftermath. Instead it argues that new thinking in the 1930s was realised in a number of promising initiatives during the war only to fail during the fragmented post-war recovery. Based on new research including interviews with retired museum staff, letters, diaries, museum archives and government records, this study reveals a complex picture of both innovation and inertia.

Artist, Collector and Connoisseur Jessica Priebe Series: The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700-1950 More than any other artist of his generation, François Boucher is associated with the consumption of luxury goods in eighteenth-century France. His works are filled with desirable items that communicate not only the wealth and status of his aristocratic patrons, but also the types of objects that informed the tastes of modern collectors. What is less known is that Boucher was a prolific collector of art and nature, with a variety of more than 13,000 objects in his possession at the time of his death in 1770. His collection, which was celebrated by his peers for its unique arrangement, was displayed in his studio at the Louvre, the same space where he created some of his finest works of art. François Boucher: Artist, Collector & Connoisseur represents the first critical analysis of Boucher’s collection.

Early Modern Merchants as Collectors
Generative Systems Art
Edited by Christina M. Anderson, British Academy, UK Series: Visual Culture in Early Modernity This book encourages the rethinking of collecting not as an elite, often aristocratic pursuit, but rather as a vital activity that has engaged many different groups within society. The essays included in this volume consider merchants not only as important collectors in their own right, as opposed to merely agents or middlemen, but also as innovators who determined taste. Through bringing together contributions on merchant collectors across a wide geographical spread, including England, The Netherlands, Venice, Moghul India, China and Japan, among other locations, it aims to challenge the often Eurocentric view of the study of collecting that has shaped the discipline to date.

Exhibiting Craft and Design

Transgressing the White Cube Paradigm, 1930-present Edited by Alla Myzelev Exhibiting Craft and Design: Transgressing the White Cube Paradigm investigates the firmly-established manner in which craft and design have typically been presented by museums and galleries, what strategies curators have employed throughout the twentieth century, and especially in more recent years how exhibiting design and craft objects challenges the notion of the modernist White Cube display paradigm.

Hieke Huistra Series: The History of Medicine in Context Hieke Huistra introduces a new way of understanding anatomical collections: as dynamic and flexible entities, intended for hands-on use and to be reused again and again. This prolonged use is best illustrated with the oldest institutional collections in Europe: the Leiden anatomical collections. Using these as the main case study, the author demonstrates that anatomical collections of the nineteenth century were not just for observation, but also for handling: preparations were taken out of their jars, given round in class, felt, smelled, reinvestigated, and redissected. She shows how the preparations’ material properties enabled constant reinterpretation, making them much more flexible than, for example, anatomical models. Seeing anatomical collections as dynamic and flexible helps us to understand why these collections, contrary to what is regularly assumed, remained relevant in the nineteenth century.

Natural History: Heritage, Place and Politics
From Theory to Case Study
Ross J. Wilson
Sally Hughes
There is a significant absence of engagement in the literature with how natural heritage is represented today within museums, parks and natural sites as well as within political, media and public discourse. This book fills this important gap by exploring the heritage of natural history in Britain. It focuses on the ideas, values and agendas that have defined the representation and reception of the history of the natural world within contemporary society and addresses how the heritage of natural history is used to shape social, political, cultural and moral identities. It will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of heritage studies, ecology, environmental studies and geography.
Museums, art galleries, historic sites, libraries and temporary exhibitions publish physical books and electronic resources in various formats for their visitors and for a wider non-visiting audience. These printed materials represent their institutions locally, regionally and globally while also contributing to the complex media landscape navigated by museum audiences for entertainment and education. This book presents the theory and practice of general and scholarly publishing associated with museum and gallery collections. Sally Hughes examines the production and reception of these texts, extending our understanding of this important but hitherto overlooked topic which includes issues of curators’ and artists’ agency, funding and sponsorship, marketing, visitor studies, informal education and retail.

Photography, Natural History and the Nineteenth-Century Museum
Jonathan Sweet and Meghan Kelly
Exchanging Views of Empire
The Kelabit people are the least populous of the indigenous tribes of Borneo and were the last to encounter western colonialism; they are predominately Christians in a country where Islam is the state religion. This community has undergone immense social change that has ended some aspects of their culture and endangered others, resulting in Kelabit leaders calling for safeguards. The authors of this book address local agency and participation in the processes of conservation via the development of a museum and cultural centre in the Kelabit Highlands. They had privileged access to the community and they document concerns, aspirations and the development strategies of the museum all within historical, political, cultural, theoretical and practical dimensions.

Shedding New Light on Art Museum Additions
The Emergence of the Antique and Curiosity Dealer 1815–c. 1850
Front Stage and Back Stage Experiences Altaf Engineer and Kathryn Anthony Series: Routledge Research in Architecture Vast sums of money spent to design, construct, operate and maintain museum additions demand great accountability of museum leaders and design professionals. In an age where buildings receive prestigious architectural awards before we even know whether or not they meet occupants’ needs, we now see an urgent need to understand how the design of these museum additions actually works for visitors and employees. This book presents post-occupancy evaluations of four high-profile museums and their additions in the United States and helps museum stakeholders understand their successes, shortcomings, and how their designs affect both visitors and employees who use them every day.

The Commodification of Historical Objects Mark Westgarth Series: The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700-1950 Rather than the customary focus on the activities of individual collectors, The Emergence of the Antique and Curiosity Dealer, 1815-c. 1850: The Commodification of Historical Objects illuminates the less-studied roles played by dealers in the antique and curiosity collecting markets. This volume redresses an imbalance to-date in studies of the history of collecting, examining the activities, agency and influence of the antique and curiosity dealers as they emerge in the opening decades of the nineteenth century. This study begins at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, when dealers began their wholesale importations of historical objects; it closes during the 1850s, after which the trade became increasingly specialized, reflecting the rise of historical museums such as the South Kensington Museum (V&A). Focusing on the archive of the early-nineteenth-century London dealer John Coleman Isaac, as well as drawing on a wide range of other archival material, Mark Westgarth considers the practice.

Ray Hernandez-Duran Series: Studies in Art Historiography The first substantial Mexican colonial art historiography in English, this book examines the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico as a symptom of the development of modern museum practice in mid-nineteenth-century Mexico City. Also an intellectual history, this study recognizes the role of nationalism in the initiation of art historical practice in what is understood today more broadly as Latin America. Viceregal or colonial Mexican, Spanish colonial, and colonial Latin American art continues to be underplayed or overlooked by most art historians; Ray Hernández-Durán redresses that omission, presenting a detailed examination of the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico.
The contemporary art centre, or Kunsthalle, is now a ubiquitous sight in cities around the world. Abstaining from the usual practice of establishing a permanent collection of artworks, these centres instead base their entire operation around a perpetuating series of contemporary exhibitions and events.

The Benin Plaques, A 16th Century Imperial Monument is a detailed analysis of a corpus of nearly 850 bronze plaques that were installed in the court of the Benin kingdom at the moment of its greatest political power and geographic reach. By examining European accounts, Benin oral histories, and the physical evidence of the extant plaques, Gunsch is the first to propose an installation pattern for the series.
Using the 3rd Athens Biennale and the 7th Berlin Biennale as its main case studies, this book looks at how the in-built tensions between the domains of art and politics take shape when spectacular displays attempt to operate as immediate activist sites. Drawing on ethnographic research and contemporary cultural theory, this book explores how biennials both denunciate aesthetic value as a bourgeois category and simultaneously diffuse and replicate its form varyingly across social landscapes.

The Power of Slow Looking
The Unfinished Exhibition
Navigating Visual Learning and Cognitive Capacity
Visualizing Myth, Memory, and the Shadow of the Civil War in Centennial America
Shari Tishman The Power of Slow Looking provides a robust argument for the importance of slow looking in learning environments both general and specialized, formal and informal, and its connection to major concepts in teaching, learning, and knowledge. Addressing the highly multi-disciplinary applications of this purposeful behavioral practice, the book draws examples from the visual arts, literature, science, and everyday life while incorporating recent research into cognition, curiosity, mindfulness, attention, and direct observation skills. Original, real-world scenarios illustrate the complexities and rewards of slow looking.

Susanna W. Gold The Unfinished Exhibition, the first comprehensive examination of American art at the Centennial, explains the critical role of visual culture in negotiating memories of the nation’s past that conflicted with the optimism that Exhibition officials promoted. Supporting novel iconographical interpretations with myriad primary source material, author Susanna W. Gold demonstrates how the art galleries and the audiences who visited them addressed the lingering traumas of battle, the uneasy re-unification of North and South, and the persisting racial tensions in the post-Emancipation era.

The Routledge Companion to El Greco Jeffrey Schrader Series: Routledge Companions Celebrating the fourth centenary of the death of El Greco (c.1541-1614), this volume analyzes the state of scholarly research on the artist. The Companion is carefully conceived to represent international perspectives on El Greco, who lived in different lands and, in modern times, has drawn critical acclaim from beyond the borders of his homelands. Contributors identify scholars and publications that have shaped the current understanding of El Greco, including his status as an artist, the stages of his career, his working methods, different categories of artworks, patronage, collecting, and his posthumous critical fortunes. The authors review traditional and innovative lines of inquiry, identifying primary or secondary resources available to researchers, while also suggesting directions for future projects.

The Studio in the Gallery Museums, Reconstructions, Exhibitions Wouter Davidts and Jon Wood Series: Routledge Research in Art History Combining approaches from art history, museum studies, and contemporary curating, this collection focuses on the artist's studio and its legacies. An international group of contributors including experts from major museums examine, through a series of case studies on some of the major figures of modern art, how artists' studios have been exhibited in the art gallery and museum. The artists discussed include Frederick Leighton, Donald Judd, Frieda Kahlo, Peter Blake, Antoine Wiertz, Constantin Brancusi, Francis Bacon, Eduardo Paolozzi, Piet Mondrian and Giorgio Morandi. The volume addresses three discrete aspects of the topic”studio museum, studio reconstruction, and studio exhibition”and focuses on spatial, architectural, archaeological, biographical, and site-related issues. Ultimately this collection investigates what an artist's studio is today, looking at why and how it has been variously restaged, installed and reframed within the walls of the art gallery and the museum.
