One of the great breakthroughs in Chinese studies in the early twentieth century was the archaeological identification of the earliest, fully historical dynasty of kings, the Shang (ca. 1300-1050 B.C.E.). The last fifty years have seen major advances in all areas of Chinese archaeology, but recent studies of the Shang, their ancestors, and their contemporaries have been especially rich. Since the last English-language overview of Shang civilization appeared in 1980, the pace of discovery has quickened. China in the Early Bronze Age: Shang Civilization is the first work in twenty-five years to synthesize current knowledge of the Shang for everyone interested in the origins of Chinese civilization. China in the Early Bronze Age traces the development of early Bronze Age cultures in North and Northwestern China from about 2000 B.C.E., including the Erlitou culture (often identified with the Xia) and the Erligang culture. Robert L. Thorp introduces major sites, their architectural remains, burials, and material culture, with special attention to jades and bronze. He reviews the many discoveries near Anyang, site of two capitals of the Shang kings. In addition to the topography of these sites, Thorp discusses elite crafts and devotes a chapter to the Shang cult, its divination practices, and its rituals. The volume concludes with a survey of the late Shang world, cultures contemporary with Anyang during the late second millennium B.C.E. Fully documented with references to Chinese archaeological sources and illustrated with more than one hundred line drawings, China in the Early Bronze Age also includes informative sidebars on related topics and suggested readings. Students of the history and archaeology of early civilizations will find China in the Early Bronze Age the most up-to-date and wide-ranging introduction to its topic now in print. Scholars in Chinese studies will use this work as a handbook and research guide. This volume makes fascinating reading for anyone interested in the formative stages of Chinese culture.

Les mutations qui se sont amorcées à partir de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et qui connaissent une accélération rapide avec les crises sociales, culturelles, économiques et environnementales contemporaines ont transformé le paysage muséal et les visions dont les musées se soutiennent et qu'ils entretiennent. La plupart des travaux produits au cours de ces années ont été portés par ces transformations et y contribuent : la recherche en muséologie s'est elle-même dissociée de la recherche dans les musées dans les années 1980. De plus, quelque chose s'est noué entre un tournant communicationnel dans les musées et un développement de la réflexion théorique et critique sur la communication. Dans une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage se propose d'analyser ces évolutions dans leurs dimensions institutionnelles, culturelles, communicationnelles, historiques, patrimoniales. Les perspectives réunies ici contribueront, sans aucun doute, à mettre au jour les mouvements de fond actuels, les tendances qui travaillent les institutions elles-mêmes, et le poids de ces changements dans la formulation des enjeux théoriques en muséologie.

Experimental Museology scrutinizes innovative endeavours to transform museum interactions with the world. Analysing cutting-edge cases from around the globe, the volume demonstrates how museums can design, apply and assess new modes of audience engagement and participation. Written by an interdisciplinary group of researchers and research-led professionals, the book argues that museum transformations must be focused on conceptualizing and documenting the everyday challenges and choices facing museums, especially in relation to wider social, political and economic ramifications. In order to illuminate the complexity of these challenges, the volume is structured into three related key dimensions of museum practice - namely institutions, representations and users. Each chapter is based on a curatorial design proposed and performed in collaboration between university-based academics and a museum. Taken together, the chapters provide insights into a diversity of geographical contexts, fields and museums, thus building a comprehensive and reflexive repository of design practices and formative experiments that can help strengthen future museum research and design. Experimental Museology will be of great value to academics and students in the fields of museum, gallery and heritage studies, as well as architecture, design, communication and cultural studies. It will also be of interest to museum professionals and anyone else who is interested in learning more about experimentation and design as resources in museums.

"Reflections on Critical Museology: Inside and Outside Museums offers a reflective and reflexive re-assessment of museum studies and the first wide-ranging account of critical museology. Drawing on an extensive range of examples from museums and across the museological literature, which are purposefully representative of very different cultural backgrounds, the book issues a plea for critical thinking in and about museums. The various institutions covered and the plural analytical standpoints offer a broad interdisciplinary approach by intermingling art history, anthropology, sociocultural theories, and heritage studies. The result is not claimed as a universal or all-encompassing account, but a subjective review produced by J. Pedro Lorente, an art critic and historian who has been writing extensively about 'critical museology' in different languages for many years. Lorente offers a fascinating synopsis of his ideas in this extremely valuable short book, looking inside and outside museums, combining practice and theory, whilst also relating both to the work of museum professionals and to a range of publications by academics, including those from other research fields. Reflections on Critical Museology: Inside and Outside Museums will be essential reading for university students and academics working in museum studies and cognate disciplines, such as art history, anthropology and cultural studies"--

LA CONNAISSANCE DU LIVRE se rattache ici à la mise en jeu dialectique de termes apparemment éloignés : « livre » et « espace ». Le livre ne se réduit donc pas à son support matériel. Notre intention n’est pas non plus de délimiter tous les espaces possibles du livre qu’ils soient physique, esthétique, littéraire, métaphysique ou anthropologique. Il s’agit plutôt de proposer au lecteur un voyage à travers l’espace dans le livre - la page, le texte…, l’espace pour le livre - la bibliothèque, la collection…, l’espace hors du livre - l’œuvre d’art, l’hypertexte… Le livre utopique de Lévinas, Blanchot ou Deleuze, la poésie plastique de Mallarmé, Apollinaire ou Claudel, le récit littéraire de Kundera, Le Clézio, ou Perec, l’espace pictural de Matisse, Kandinsky ou Gris, seront autant de jalons pour mieux mesurer l’étendue de ces espaces infinis que le livre invente.
